Moulds for flowerpots

Thanks to the patents developed over the years, namely Square the circle®, Innercore®, Vaba® and Flexomould®, Injection Compression, Abate Basilio is able to plan and manufacture moulds for pots by using unique technology, such as the elastic system for opening the draining holes, which provide logistic and production advantages to the customer. We use highest quality materials which ensure longevity, reliability and performance of the mould over the time..

  • Cemented carbide insert opposite to the point of injection; for reduced wear caused by aggressive recycled material and high injection pressures.

  • Special alloy with high heat conductivity properties that produce intensive cooling and faster cycle times.

  • Abate’s exclusive construction of Azoto-cylinders-bottom pins that compensates thermal and mechanical variations and guarantee open and flash-free bottom holes.

  • Long-life moulds for continuous production.

  • Perfect centering and easy maintenance of the cavities (see the Square the circle® technology).

  • Specialist in thin walled and special product forms

  • Fast ejection obtained by a mixed mechanical/pneumatic system trough our patended no leakage air valve VABA®.

  • All our moulds can take advantage of IML process.

  • Short cycle times thanks to an excellent planned mould and the intense cooling system under the Innercore Extra Cooling System® patent.

  • Possibility to assemble handles to the Flowerpots with the mould, designed to offer significant advantages and savings (see the In mould assembly® technology).

  • Single and multiple cavities.

  • Modularity of the single cavity or multi-cavities thanks to the Flexomould®patent.

  • Possibility to use our Injection Compression Technology to get lighter Flowerpots.
