PP Paint and Oil Drum Injection Molding Machine
A PP injection molding machine for 20 L class paint and oil pails, drums and containers, moulding both the body and a matching lid for ready-to-fill packaging in polypropylene.
Overview
Working in PP for its stiffness and chemical resistance, this machine moulds drums, buckets and pails plus their lids so a complete container ships from one cell. The hot-runner mould (single-cavity for large pails, multi-cavity for smaller parts) keeps wall sections uniform for a reliable lid seal. The lid mould is made alongside the pail mould.
Key features
- Moulds PP paint and oil drums, buckets and lids
- PP gives stiffness and chemical resistance
- Hot-runner mould for reliable lid seal
Application
Injection-moulded PP drums, containers, pails and lids for paint, oil, chemicals and industrial packaging.

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.
