Plastic Dairy Product Crate | Renovator Appliances Ltd

Product Overview

Plastic Dairy Product Crate is a durable, reusable plastic container designed for the hygienic handling, storage, stacking, and transportation of dairy products and packaged dairy items. Its rigid structure, smooth internal surfaces, and easy-clean design make it suitable for dairy processing plants, cold-storage facilities, warehouses, and distribution operations.

The crate can be manufactured according to specific dimensions, internal capacity, load-bearing requirements, product configuration, ventilation pattern, stacking arrangement, handle design, wall thickness, material, colour, and surface finish using precision plastic injection moulding.

Manufacturing Process

The Plastic Dairy Product Crate is manufactured using the plastic injection moulding process. Selected plastic granules are fed into an injection moulding machine and heated to the required processing temperature.

The molten plastic is injected into a precision-engineered mould cavity containing the required crate dimensions, side walls, handles, stacking features, ventilation openings, drainage features, and reinforcement ribs. Controlled cooling allows the plastic to solidify into the required shape.

After cooling, the mould opens and the finished crate is ejected. The moulded crate is inspected for overall dimensions, wall thickness, product weight, load-bearing capacity, stacking accuracy, handle strength, surface finish, flash, and warpage.

Mould Manufacturing Process

The mould is designed according to the required product drawing or 3D CAD model. Particular attention is given to the crate cavity, side-wall structure, handles, stacking features, drainage openings, ventilation slots, reinforcing ribs, corner geometry, wall thickness, draft angles, parting line, cooling channels, and ejection mechanism.

Suitable mould steel such as P20, H13, or S136 can be selected according to production volume, mould life, product complexity, and required surface finish.

Mould components are manufactured using CNC machining, EDM, precision drilling, grinding, polishing, and precision fitting. After mould assembly, trial moulding is performed to verify filling, cooling, ejection, dimensions, stacking performance, structural strength, surface appearance, and cleaning characteristics.

Raw Materials

Suitable materials may include:

• PP

• HDPE

• Food-contact suitable PP

• Food-contact suitable HDPE

• Impact-modified PP

• Recycled PP where permitted

• Recycled HDPE where permitted

• UV-stabilized grades for suitable applications

Material selection depends on load capacity, impact resistance, temperature exposure, refrigeration requirements, cleaning and sanitization conditions, food-contact requirements, and expected service life.

Quality Control

The Plastic Dairy Product Crate can be inspected for:

• Overall dimensions

• Internal dimensions

• Product weight

• Wall thickness

• Handle dimensions

• Stacking accuracy

• Load-bearing capacity

• Impact resistance

• Corner strength

• Ventilation openings

• Drainage characteristics

• Surface finish

• Colour consistency

• Flash and burrs

• Warpage

• Cracks and sink marks

• Cleaning and sanitization characteristics

Production Capacity

Production capacity depends on mould cavity count, injection moulding machine capacity, crate weight, cycle time, cooling time, plastic material, and machine operating efficiency.

For larger dairy crates, the injection moulding machine must have sufficient clamping force, injection capacity, platen dimensions, and mould installation space.

Actual production capacity is determined according to the final crate dimensions, product weight, mould configuration, machine specifications, and required production quantity.
