Bucket Handle and Basket Injection Molding Machine
An injection molding machine for plastic bucket handles and baskets. Handles run in a 4-cavity cold-runner mould, four handles per shot; baskets run in a single-cavity hot-runner mould.
Overview
Rather than blowing containers, this press injects solid plastic parts, here the handles, grips and baskets that complete paint and water buckets. The 4-cavity cold-runner handle mould turns out four handles every 15–25 s (depends on part design). High productivity makes it suited to the large handle volumes a bucket line consumes. AMAN can match the mould to your existing bucket so handles fit first time.
Key features
- Injects bucket handles and baskets in HDPE
- 4-cavity cold-runner handle mould

One machine covers a range of sizes: you only change the mould to make a different product. The machine must be selected according to the LARGEST product you plan to make — running a small product on a large machine is possible, but you lose some efficiency and some material. Send us your smallest and your largest product (size and weight) and we will confirm whether one machine is enough.
Order the injection mould for your part with this machine and we make it in our own workshop, then ship machine and mould as one set, tested and tuned together. Send your part drawing and we quote the machine together with the mould.
Each machine is configured to your container; the final specification is written into your quotation.
