The Universal Workhorse: Industrial Bucket Production

Buckets are among the most versatile plastic products - used in construction, agriculture, food service, and every household. Our bucket moulds enable manufacturers to serve this massive global market.

Construction Industry Partnership

A major Southeast Asian construction company needed buckets that:

Survived cement mixing without degradation
Featured measurement marks for accurate mixing ratios
Had reinforced handles for heavy loads

Our solution became the standard across their 200+ construction sites.

Results:

18-month bucket life (vs. 6 months with previous supplier)
Accurate 1L measurement increments up to 15L
Zero handle failures reported

Size Range for Every Application

Size	Primary Use	Handle Type
5L	Cleaning, painting	Plastic swing
10L	General purpose	Metal wire
15L	Construction, agriculture	Heavy-duty metal
20L	Industrial, food service	Double metal
25L	Large-scale industrial	Reinforced double

Regional Market Variations

Different markets have different preferences:

Europe: Graduated measurements in liters
USA: Gallon measurements, pour spout essential
Asia: Maximum capacity, metal handles standard
Middle East: UV-resistant, light colors for heat reflection

Engineering the Perfect Bucket

Rim Design: The Foundation of Durability

The rim is the most critical part of bucket design:

Rim Cross-Section Evolution

Generation	Design	Durability
Basic	Simple roll	1 year
Improved	Double roll	2 years
Our design	Triple roll + reinforcement	4+ years

Our triple-roll rim distributes load across three contact points.

Metal Handle Integration

Metal handles require specialized mould features:

Handle Insert Options

Wire handle (4mm): Standard, cost-effective
Tube handle (8mm): Premium feel, ergonomic
Flat bar handle: Heavy-duty industrial

Insertion Method

Handle lugs molded into bucket wall
Post-moulding manual insertion
Automatic insertion available (high-volume)

Pouring Spout Engineering

A well-designed spout improves user experience significantly:

Spout angle: 30° for controlled pour
Spout width: 45mm for adequate flow
Drip edge: Prevents liquid running down bucket side
Anti-gurgle feature: Air channel for smooth pouring

Wall Thickness Optimization

Strategic wall thickness reduces material while maintaining strength:

Zone	Thickness	Reason
Base	2.5mm	Impact resistance
Lower wall	2.0mm	Hydrostatic pressure
Upper wall	1.8mm	Material savings
Rim	3.0mm	Handle stress

Measurement Marking Integration

Accurate volume markings require:

Embossed markings (permanent, no ink)
Consistent wall thickness in marking area
Calibration verification during mould trial

Why Choose Our Bucket Mould

Triple-roll rim design for 4+ year durability

Metal handle insert compatibility (wire/tube/flat bar)

30° precision pouring spout with anti-drip design

Calibrated measurement markings (±3% accuracy)

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Bucket Mould

Can the bucket be used for food applications?

Yes, with food-grade PP or HDPE and appropriate production conditions, buckets can be FDA/EU food contact compliant. We provide material recommendations and can design for specific food safety certifications.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

Our reinforced rim design supports: 5L bucket: 8kg, 10L: 15kg, 15L: 22kg, 20L: 28kg, 25L: 35kg. Metal handle versions have 20% higher capacity.

How accurate are the measurement markings?

Embossed markings are calibrated to ±3% accuracy. We verify accuracy during mould trial and can provide calibration documentation for regulated applications.

Can custom branding be added?

Yes, we include space for logos up to 100x60mm. Options include embossed/debossed molded-in logos or flat areas for labels/printing. In-mould labeling (IML) is also possible.

What is the cycle time for different sizes?

Approximate cycle times: 5L: 20s, 10L: 28s, 15L: 35s, 20L: 42s, 25L: 50s. Actual times depend on machine specifications and cooling efficiency.

Is the bucket stackable?

Yes, buckets nest when empty (4:1 ratio approximately). Full buckets can be stacked 3-high using the interlocking rim design. We can design custom nesting features for specific logistics requirements.
