oil bucket mold specifications
Oil bucket molds are molds designed specifically for producing plastic oil buckets through injection molding, used to hold and store oil, lubricants, paints, etc. Manufacturers create these tools to produce precise design specifications that meet industry requirements. The choice of mold requires an understanding of the types available, as this will help make better decisions.
- Single-cavity molds: produce barrels individually, best suited for minimal manufacturing operations.
- Multi-cavity molds: produce multiple barrels at the same time, improving efficiency for large orders.
- Stacking molds: provide a special design that can be stacked, improve space efficiency and speed up production time.

oil bucket molding processing
After the plastic oil bucket injection mold is ready, the molding process includes the following basic steps:
- Step 1, preparation before molding: the preparation before injection molding mainly includes: raw material appearance and process performance inspection, preheating and drying; cleaning or replacement of the injection molding machine barrel; reasonable selection of release agent.
- Step 2, injection molding process flow: feeding-plasticization-injection-pressure holding-cooling-demolding.
- Step 3, post-processing of bucket after injection molding: post-processing can eliminate the internal stress of bucket, improve performance, improve dimensional stability, and stabilize color. Bucket post-processing includes annealing and humidity adjustment.
How to buy injection oil bucket mold from China: A step-by-step guide for beginners
Purchasing oil bucket mold from China will enhance your production capabilities. You can get high-quality molds through the right sourcing methods. YUCO Mold has put together a complete guide that covers all the necessary steps to complete this process effectively.

Plastic oil bucket mold design capabilities
Our team has 10 years of experience in bucket mold design and manufacturing, ensuring the mold structure is perfect.
We design the mold based on the confirmed product, including: calculating the number of cavities of the injection mold according to the size of the machine; determining which steel and which gate to choose; selecting hot runners, hydraulic cylinders, etc. from well-known brands;
We can produce oil containers of various sizes, from small oil tanks to large oil drums for industrial use. The mold can be customized to meet specific size and shape requirements.
An efficient cooling system is integrated into the mold to ensure that the plastic material is evenly cooled and solidified, resulting in a high-quality oil bucket.
In addition, we also focus on the details of the plastic paint bucket, such as the slider design may not be required when the bucket is direct and simple; mechanical ejection design for automatic falling or collection by robots; certain fixed designs for further heat transfer.

Maintain regular communication with oil bucket mold suppliers from the start of production to completion. Regular updates can help you:
- Monitor production progress through regular inspections.
- Report all problems as soon as they occur to prevent them from expanding.
- Hire a third-party inspection service to check quality before shipment.
After the mold design is confirmed, we start making the mold, cutting steel, CNC machining, polishing, sampling, etc. Depending on the desired finish of the oil bucket, the mold can also be finished with various surface treatments, such as polishing or texturing, to achieve the desired look. Every step of the production is rigorously tested to ensure you get excellent workmanship. Mold process photos are updated weekly to customers so that they can monitor our production process.


Mold testing and samples
Before the mold is delivered, we will arrange at least 3 mold tests to ensure that the mold runs smoothly and obtain high-quality bucket samples (size, weight, wall thickness). If it meets customer requirements, if everything is OK, arrange samples for customer approval.
