PP+TPE Two-Color Foldable Bucket Injection Mold

PP+TPE 2K Foldable Bucket Mold

Focare Mould manufactures two-color injection molds for collapsible buckets that combine rigid PP sections with a flexible TPE section. This project illustrates a 1+1 cavity mold for household products designed to fold down for storage. The specifications below describe this reference project; a new mold is configured around your bucket design, selected materials and injection molding machine.

Reference Project Specifications

• Product material: PP + TPE

• Mold cavities: 1+1

• Mold steel: Germany 718H, as listed for this project

• Mold dimensions: 1180 × 710 × 510 mm

• Mold weight: 2188 kg

• Suggested machine: FCS-550R; compatibility requires review

• Runner system: the original project listing states “3-plate cold runner”; confirm the final runner configuration during technical review.

Planning a Two-Color Collapsible Bucket Project

A PP+TPE foldable bucket mold needs to be evaluated as a complete product and tooling project. Before quoting, we review the rigid and flexible sections, the folding geometry, part dimensions and your intended production setup. Material grades, shrinkage and the interface between PP and TPE should be confirmed for the proposed design rather than assumed from the reference project.

For a new collapsible bucket, share the required open and folded dimensions, capacity, handle arrangement and intended use. Include any load, leakage or repeated-folding acceptance requirements so these can be discussed during mold design and sample evaluation. The reference machine model is a starting point for discussion, not a guarantee that the same mold arrangement suits every production line.

Request a Foldable Bucket Mold Quotation

Send Focare Mould the following information for a project-specific tooling review:

• 3D product files in STEP or STP format, available 2D drawings, or sample photographs.

• Bucket capacity, open and folded dimensions, and target part weight.

• PP and TPE grades, colors and required TPE hardness, if already selected.

• Required cavity count and target production volume.

• Injection molding machine brand, model and relevant machine specifications.

• Sample acceptance requirements, delivery destination and target project schedule.

If some details are not yet fixed, identify the open questions in your inquiry. Final mold specifications, runner design, machine compatibility, price and delivery schedule are confirmed after review.
