Cap for 3/5 gallon water bucket

At present, there are generally two types of bucket covers on the market: 

  • covers with inner plugs and gaskets; 
  • Lid without inner plug and easy to tear

Covers with inner plugs and gaskets

Because it is an old design, the use process is troublesome. There are many parts, which require multi-step assembly, resulting in high production costs. It takes time and effort.

No water leaking

The corner of cap is specially designed, which can be directly sealed to ensure no water leakage. Multi-step assembly is not required. It is easy to tear off the lid when using. Disadvantages: need to match the bottle embryo mouth

Mould for water buket cap

Cover mold generally has 8 cavities, 12 cavities and 16 cavities. There can be more.

The key difficulty is the thickness of the wall, so ejection is difficult after cooling.

In particular, the easy-to-water cover is easy to crack when the machine is ejected.

Therefore, the precision of the mold is required to be high.

How to choose the machine for producing 3/5 gallon water bottle caps?

180-ton injection molding machine is selected for cold runner 8 cavities

220-ton machine is selected for hot runner mold 8 cavities

Why are there different machine options for the same 8-cavity mold?

The main reason is die thickness. Hot runner die thickness will increase due to runner plate and cooling water path

The mold is relatively thick and needs 460mm at least. It is better to achieve 500mm.

However, the mold thickness of cold runner mold is generally less than 400mm, so a smaller 180 machine can be selected.
