Plastic Beverage Bottle Crate | Renovator Appliances Ltd

Product Overview

Plastic Beverage Bottle Crate is a durable, reusable plastic container designed for the organized storage, handling, stacking, and transportation of beverage bottles. The crate is commonly designed with individual bottle compartments that help separate bottles, reduce movement, and provide protection during handling and distribution.

The crate can be manufactured according to specific bottle count, bottle diameter, bottle height, compartment configuration, external dimensions, load capacity, stacking requirements, handle design, wall thickness, material, colour, and surface finish using precision plastic injection moulding.

Key Features

• Helps prevent bottle-to-bottle contact

• Strong stacking structure

• Reinforced corners and side walls

• Ergonomic hand-grip openings

• Lightweight and easy to handle

• Resistant to moisture and regular washing

• Customized bottle-cell configuration

• Available in multiple colours

• Suitable for automated handling systems where designed accordingly

Industrial Applications

Plastic Beverage Bottle Crates are used in:

• Beverage manufacturing plants

• Soft drink bottling plants

• Mineral water facilities

• Juice processing plants

• Dairy beverage plants

• Bottled beverage distributors

• Warehouses

• Retail distribution centres

• Beverage transportation

• Food and beverage logistics

• Bottle collection and return systems

Manufacturing Process

The Plastic Beverage Bottle Crate is manufactured using the plastic injection moulding process. Selected plastic granules are fed into an injection moulding machine and heated to the required processing temperature.

The molten plastic is injected into a precision-engineered mould cavity containing the required bottle compartments, divider structure, outer walls, handles, stacking features, and reinforcement ribs. Controlled cooling allows the plastic to solidify into the required crate configuration.

After cooling, the mould opens and the finished crate is ejected. The crate is inspected for overall dimensions, bottle-cell dimensions, wall thickness, stacking accuracy, load-bearing capacity, handle strength, surface quality, flash, and warpage.

Mould Manufacturing Process

The mould is designed according to the required crate drawing or 3D CAD model. Particular attention is given to the bottle-cell arrangement, divider walls, bottle clearance, stacking features, handles, reinforcing ribs, corner geometry, draft angles, wall thickness, parting line, cooling channels, and ejection mechanism.

Suitable mould steel such as P20, H13, or S136 can be selected according to production volume, mould life, product complexity, and required surface finish.

Mould components are manufactured using CNC machining, EDM, precision drilling, grinding, polishing, and precision fitting. After mould assembly, trial moulding is performed to verify filling, cooling, ejection, bottle-cell dimensions, stacking performance, structural strength, and overall product quality.

Raw Materials

Suitable materials may include:

• HDPE

• PP

• Impact-modified PP

• Food-contact suitable PP

• Food-contact suitable HDPE

• Recycled HDPE where permitted

• Recycled PP where permitted

• UV-stabilized grades for suitable outdoor applications

Material selection depends on impact resistance, load capacity, bottle weight, temperature exposure, washing conditions, durability, and intended service environment.

Quality Control

The Plastic Beverage Bottle Crate can be inspected for:

• Overall dimensions

• Internal dimensions

• Bottle-cell dimensions

• Divider-wall thickness

• Product weight

• Handle strength

• Stacking accuracy

• Load-bearing capacity

• Impact resistance

• Corner strength

• Bottle retention

• Surface finish

• Colour consistency

• Flash and burrs

• Warpage

• Cracks and sink marks

• Compatibility with specified bottles

Production Capacity

Production capacity depends on mould cavity count, injection moulding machine capacity, crate weight, cycle time, cooling time, plastic material, and machine operating efficiency.

Large beverage bottle crates generally require injection moulding machines with sufficient clamping force, injection capacity, mould installation space, and platen dimensions.

Actual production capacity is determined according to the final crate size, bottle-cell configuration, product weight, mould configuration, machine specifications, and required production quantity.
