1. Common Symptoms

  • Bottle bottom not fully expanded (“thick bottom,” “collapsed bottom,” or “raised center”).

  • Base pattern unclear or material gathered in the center (whitening).

  • Bottom wall too thin on edges but too thick in the center.


2. Causes and Solutions

CategoryPossible CauseCorrective Action
Uneven HeatingBottom of preform not heated enoughIncrease bottom heating temperature or extend heating time to soften the preform evenly
Insufficient Air PressureLow pre-blow or high-pressure airCheck air system, maintain 25–35 bar; ensure timely pre-blow and main blow
Improper Stretch Rod MotionRod not reaching full depth or moving too slowlyAdjust stretch rod speed and stroke to reach the exact center of the mold bottom
Low Mold TemperatureExcessive cooling at the baseRaise mold bottom temperature or reduce cooling water flow
Poor Preform DesignInsufficient material at preform bottomRedesign preform bottom thickness or adjust infrared lamp angle
Incorrect Air TimingDelay between pre-blow and main blowOptimize blowing sequence and timing parameters
Uneven CoolingWater circulation imbalanceInspect cooling channels, balance water flow and temperature

3. Practical Tips

  • Adjust bottom IR lamps to focus heat on the preform base.

  • Keep oven temperature stable to avoid uneven heating.

  • Synchronize stretching and pre-blow actions precisely.

  • Record daily parameter settings for quick troubleshooting.


4. Expert Advice

  1. Identify whether the issue is temperature-related or mechanical.

  2. Observe preform color: dark = underheated, white = overstretched.

  3. For repeated issues, recalibrate heating and stretching timing curves.
