In the fast-moving consumer goods packaging sector, the production of thin-wall small buckets (such as ice cream tubs, paint buckets, sauce buckets, etc.) places extremely stringent demands on injection molding equipment.

Most 20L plastic pail manufacturers operate 24-hour three-shift production for 300 days a year. Power consumption, machine maintenance and hydraulic oil leakage loss form three major long-term operating cost burdens.

For business owners newly entering the plastic processing industry or establishing a new injection molding facility, the most common misconception is to purchase equipment at low cost or select only a single machine model.

For PET preform manufacturers, the initial machine price is only one part of the total investment.

In PET preform production, mold precision and production stability have a direct impact on product quality, mold life and overall production costs.
