For companies producing PET bottles, this quality journey begins not with the raw material, but with a critical piece of machinery: the mould. The mould is the heart of a PET blowing machine, and its quality directly impacts everything from bottle aesthetics and structural integrity to production efficiency and long-term profitability. For Awanti Polymoulds Pvt. Ltd., we understand that a superior mould is not just an accessory; it is the foundation of your success. The Mould: More Than Just a Shape A PET blowing machine takes a preform (a test tube-like piece of plastic) and, using high-pressure air and heat, expands it into a fully formed bottle. The mould is the cavity that gives the bottle its final, precise shape. It is a piece of precision engineering that must be crafted to the highest standards.

Manufacturing of rotary-blowing moulds for a global soft-drink company for multiple franchises across India
Project duration: 8 months Project scope: – Technical and aesthetic design of a carbonated drink bottle, based on inputs from the customer – Testing of pilot mould and bottle samples as per international standards – Manufacturing of moulds for different rotary blowing machines (> 50 moulds) Project synopsis: The objective of this project was to design a common bottle for different flavours of carbonated drinks and manufacture moulds for six franchise-bottling operations of a global beverage brand in India. This was what we call a “full scale project”, which starts with designing the bottle, followed by pilot mould trials and ends with the manufacturing of commercial moulds for each franchise . Bottle designing · Based on the customer inputs like product application, pack-size and preform weights, we initiated the process of designing the bottle · With our in-house team of design eng...
