Plastic Drum Mould
Plastic Drum Mould
A PlasticDrum Mould is a reusable form made from high-grade plastic (usually HDPE
or ABS) used for casting cylindrical drums, barrels, or storage
containers out of materials like concrete, fiber-reinforced
concrete, plastic, or resin. These moulds are designed to
create durable, reusable, and uniform-shaped drums for a variety of
storage and utility purposes.
Plastic
drum moulds are typically used in manufacturing water storage drums, roadbarriers, compost bins, chemical containers, and precast
concrete drums used in drainage or cable ducting. They are easy to handle,
lightweight, and can withstand multiple casting cycles with minimal
maintenance.
Top FAQs – Plastic Drum Mould
- Q: What is a plastic drum
mould used for?
A: It's used to produce cylindrical drums or containers out
of concrete, plastic, or other composite materials.
- Q: What material is the
mould made of?
A: Usually high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or ABS
plastic, known for strength and flexibility.
- Q: What size drums can be
made with these moulds?
A: Common sizes range from 50 to 250 liters, but moulds can
be customized.
- Q: Are these moulds
reusable?
A: Yes, they are designed for multiple casting cycles if
maintained properly.
- Q: What type of release
agent is used?
A: A silicone-based or oil-based release agent is applied to
ease demoulding.
- Q: How long does the casting
take to set?
A: For concrete drums, typical setting time is 12–24 hours
depending on the mix and climate.
- Q: Can these moulds be used
for plastic injection?
A: No, these are mainly for manual or precast casting, not
high-temperature injection molding.
- Q: Are moulds available in
two-part clamshell designs?
A: Yes, for easy demoulding, most drum moulds come in split
or clamshell formats.
- Q: Is it possible to
customize the shape or size?
A: Yes, manufacturers often offer custom moulds based on
required volume or shape.
- Q: How should the mould be
cleaned?
A: Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals to
prolong mould life.
