Automatic Fruit and Vegetable Crate Injection Machine
A fully automatic injection molding machine for HDPE fruit and vegetable crates and baskets, built around a single-cavity crate mould with a multi-point hot runner for high-output industrial packaging.
Overview
Crates and baskets are large, ribbed parts that demand strong clamp force and balanced fill, and this machine pairs a single-cavity crate mould with a multi-point hot runner to fill those long flow paths cleanly. Fully automatic operation handles the heavy crate cycle unattended, and HDPE gives the stackable strength produce handling needs.
Key features
- Hot-runner tool fills ribbed crate sections cleanly
- Fully automatic cycling for heavy HDPE parts
- Stackable crates and baskets for produce handling
Application
HDPE fruit and vegetable crates, baskets and stackable bins for agricultural, logistics and industrial packaging use.

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.
