The amazing story of a PET bottle mould

The journey of a PET bottle begins in the mind of an entrepreneur who wishes to cater to the ever-growing beverage market, pharma industry or home care product industry by introducing a new product. The idea consists of the shape, size, product application and target customer. This idea is translated into a PET bottle by AwantiPolymoulds, the leading PET bottle mould manufacturer based in Pune.

Awanti is an end-to-end solutions provider to PET blow moulds for a wide variety of product applications and catering beverage companies in India and abroad.Awanti is a one-stop shop for converting an idea into a bottle, starting with bottle designing to mould manufacturing to mould and bottle testing.

Step 1– Bottle Designing

Understanding the customer’s requirements and translating them into a feasible bottle shape is what Awanti’s design team specializes in. Aspects like blow-ability, strength and stability are taken into consideration before finalising the bottle design.

Step 2- Mould manufacturing

Understanding the technical specifications of the customer’s blowing equipment is of paramount importance before proceeding with mould designing and manufacturing. High-grade raw material, a well-defined and sequential machining process and stringent quality checks at every stage are what goes into each mould manufactured at Awanti.

Step 3- Mould testing and bottle testing

As per requirement, the mould is tested on in-house blowing equipment and the bottles are put through internationally defined quality tests like bottle burst, stress crack, top load and thermal testing among many others.

The result:

Each mould is capable of producing millions of bottles having consistent quality for years together, leading to ultimate customer delight and repeat orders! Awanti is humbled to be associated as approved vendors for global beverage giants like Coca-Cola and Pepsi and Indian leaders like Parle and Bisleri.

Moulds for Better Shelf Life of PET Bottles

Before we talk about Shelf Life of PET Bottles let us first understand what does the term shelf life means. Shelf life is the duration of time period measured from the date of manufacture, that a good is likely to endure within its accepted product specification while stocked under defined conditions. Shelf life is characteristically stated in units of months, i.e. 12 months, 24 months, up to a limit of 60 months. The expression “shelf life” and “expiry date” is frequently interchangeably made use of in the industry, as both the terms reflect the same notion: there is a duration of time period where a good is stable and harmless for use. Shelf life/expiry dates suggests the time where a good will work both securely and efficiently. This is the reason why “shelf life testing” is also known as “stability testing”. The total amount of time a product can remain stable under specific environmental circumstances, equates to its shelf life. Now let us understand what shelf ...

Lean Manufacturing

Lean manufacturing is a method for eliminating or reducing waste from the manufacturing process. Introduced by Toyota in the year 1930, the term “lean’ was first coined in 1988. Lean manufacturing has since become standard practice in every industry. In recent years, many manufacturing processes have been adopting a lean method for greater efficacy, efficiency, and profitability. But what do you mean by lean manufacturing? And why is it so important? What is Lean Manufacturing? Lean manufacturing is a continual process of minimizing waste and maximizing productivity within a manufacturing operation. Waste is anything that uses resources without adding value to what the customers will pay for. Waste in industry processes, whether poor processes, idle workers, or unused supplies, is a drain on throughout, and lean manufacturing aims to remove all these. What are the Five Principles of Lean Manufacturing? Lean manufacturing is built of five core principles for improving e...

Introduction to Injection Moulding

Awanti Polymoulds , a Blow Mould Manufacturer in India , started its journey in the industry of precision machining and Mould Manufacturing more than three decades ago. In the initial years, along with PET Blow Moulds , Awanti manufactured Injection Moulds for various products in the beverage industry and automotive industry. Injection moulding , as the title suggests is implemented using an injection technique. It is a manufacturing process to produce different parts or moulded products by injecting molten material into the moulds and then cooling and solidifying them. Injecting moulding involves six steps like clamping, injection, dwelling, cooling, mould opening, and removal of the product. The clamping unit is used for the opening and closing of the die. It helps in the product’s ejection at the end of the process. The clamping unit is of 2 types: toggle type and straight-hydraulic type. The injection unit is used to melt the pl...
