24 cavity medium-output option
A 24 cavity PET preform mold is usually a lower-risk starting point when the buyer wants controlled investment, easier maintenance and a practical output target instead of maximum cavitation.

Specification
| Best fit | Medium-output projects, first production lines, smaller plants and buyers who want easier mold control |
|---|---|
| Buyer decision | Choose 24 cavity when investment control and stable startup matter more than the highest hourly output |
| Risk to check | Do not choose it if your target output requires a 48/64/72 cavity production plan |
| Machine data | Injection machine model, tie-bar distance, platen size, mold height, shot weight and hot runner controller |
Cavity selection
| Cavity | Project Fit | Review Point |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | Medium output | Lower initial investment and simpler project control |
| 32 | Common production | Water and beverage projects with balanced budget |
| 48 | Higher output | Hot runner balance and machine fit become more important |
| 64 | High output | Cooling, shot weight and cycle target need careful review |
| 72 | High capacity | Strong fit review for machine, runner and maintenance |
| 96/144 | Feasibility review | Use after output, machine and factory review are confirmed |
Decision points
Attention
Buyers searching 24 cavity usually need a practical mold, not a large high-cavity investment. The key decision is whether the lower cavitation can meet the bottle demand while keeping startup, maintenance and quotation risk manageable.
Interest
A 24 cavity quote should still be checked against preform weight, neck finish, cycle target and machine capability. A low price is not useful if the buyer later discovers that the output target requires a larger mold.
Desire
For some new bottle projects, buying too much cavitation increases tooling cost, machine demand and maintenance pressure. A 24 cavity plan can be better when the plant needs reliable startup and enough output, not maximum output.
Action
Send the preform drawing, bottle application, weight, neck finish, target bottles per hour, machine model and destination country. This lets the quote check whether 24 cavity is enough or whether 32 or 48 cavity should be considered.
Supply process
Step 1
Drawing, cavity, neck finish, weight and machine data.
Step 2
Prepare project data for mold quotation and capability matching.
Step 3
Compare scope, steel, hot runner, spare parts and trial terms.
Step 4
Production progress, inspection coordination and export communication.

FAQ
Choose 24 cavity when the project has a medium output target, limited budget, smaller machine or first-line startup risk. If your demand is high-volume water production, compare 32, 48 or higher cavities before deciding.
The mold investment is usually lower, but the cost per preform depends on output, cycle time, machine energy, labor and reject rate. Send your output target so the cavity choice can be checked realistically.
Please send the preform drawing if available, cavity number, preform weight, neck finish, bottle application, injection machine model, target output and destination country. If you do not have all details, send what you have and we will help clarify the missing points.
