Molds optimized for airflow, drainage, and stable stacking in cold rooms.
Key engineering factors for produce logistics
Vent layout for airflow and cooling
Drainage features for washed produce
Rim and corner strength for stacking
Related mold options for this scenario
Baskets vs. crates for produce handling
| Option | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit Basket | Retail display and small lots | High airflow + easy carry |
| Vegetable Crate | Cold-chain transport | Stack strength + pallet fit |
Where produce baskets and crates are used
Farm collection and packhouse staging
Cold room sorting and palletizing
Wholesale market distribution
Typical choices for fresh produce logistics
HDPE for low-temperature impact; 718H or S136 when corrosion resistance and finish are critical.
Vent and drainage tuning, reinforced corners, and pallet footprint alignment for export logistics.
Common ranges for produce baskets and crates
Footprint: 600x400mm or 400x300mm
Cavity: 1 (design dependent)
Cycle time: 25-55s (size dependent)
Part weight: 0.8-2.5kg (material dependent)
Steel: 718H or S136 (humidity dependent)
Vent ratio: 15-30% (strength dependent)
What to confirm before tooling starts
Vent ratio too high causing weak corners
Drainage layout not aligned to wash process
Pallet footprint mismatch with export plans
Information that speeds up quoting
Pallet footprint and stack height targets
Produce type and temperature range
Material preference (HDPE/PP) and additives
Vent and drainage requirements
Annual volume and target cycle time
Export destination and compliance needs
Typical project conditions
Lead time: 45-60 days after approval
Payment terms: 30% deposit, 70% before shipping
Trial samples and inspection report before dispatch
Common procurement questions
We tune vent patterns and open area based on airflow and strength targets.
HDPE is preferred for low-temperature impact; PP works for chilled storage.
Yes. Rim geometry and corner reinforcement are sized for your load targets.
