Paint Bucket and Container Injection Molding Machine

Name: Paint Bucket and Container Injection Molding Machine
Brand: AMAN

Overview

Paint pails and storage boxes need stiff, dimensionally stable walls and a tight lid fit, which the hot-runner mould (single-cavity for large pails, multi-cavity for smaller parts) produces consistently across long runs. The lid mould is made alongside the pail mould.

Key features

Moulds paint buckets, containers and storage boxes
Stiff stable walls for stacking and transport
Hot-runner mould for consistent runs

Application

Injection-moulded HDPE paint buckets, lidded containers and storage boxes for industrial and household packaging.

Model selection		Matched to your part weight, projected area and cavity count

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.
