Flower Pot Mould is a type of plastic mold used in the process of injection molding

Flower Pot Mould is a type of plastic mold used in the process of injection molding. The mold cooling system has a huge impact on the product's quality and production cost.

First, determine whether the white spots are mold growth or mineral deposits. Mold is slightly raised and fuzzy, whereas efflorescence is flat and hard to the touch.

1. Material

Flower pots can be made from metal, concrete, plastic, or wood. Each material has different strengths and weaknesses. For example, concrete is heavy and may crack under stress. It also has a strong odor and can be difficult to clean. Plastic is light, however, and does not crack easily. It is also safe to use in the garden, where it will be exposed to sunlight and moisture.

Mold often grows in terracotta flower pots because the material provides ideal conditions for the fungus to grow. The spores can be spread through air or soil. If you reuse your pots, sterilize them before putting in new soil and plants.

To make a 3D printed Flower Pot Mould, first seal the outside of the mold container with molding silicone. Then place a cylindrical object inside the mold (such as a paper towel roll or a thick plastic cup). Pour molding silicone over the cylinder and add indentations (like wooden dowels) to help align the parts.

2. Shape

Plastic flower pots are used for growing plants and flowers. They have many benefits over traditional terracotta flower pots, including being inexpensive and easy to clean. They also allow for aeration of the soil, which is essential for healthy plant growth.

Using fillers in plastics flow pot molding materials can eliminate the need for large flat tool areas. This reduces the speed and cost of machining. Fillers can be molded to pads, ribs, or whole surfaces. Eliminating undercuts and loose pieces simplifies the shape reproduction process.

The location of the mold gate has a significant impact on the quality of the ejected product. The optimum gate location allows the product to cool evenly and be ejected quickly, without any cracks or broken surface. In addition, the optimum arrangement of the mold cooling system directly affects the injection molding process and production cost. It is important to keep in mind that mold spores can live on a container even after the plant and soil have been removed.

3. Size

Flower Pot Moulds have different sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they need to be made of a strong, durable material. To ensure that they’re long-lasting and sturdy, the molds need to be machined with precision. This is a time-consuming process, so it’s important to choose a company that has experience working with the type of material you want to use.

When using a Flower Pot Mould, it’s important to sterilize it before using it again. This prevents mold from growing inside the container, which can cause diseases in plants and soil. Fortunately, you can sterilize your Flower Pot Mould by pouring hydrogen peroxide over it and letting it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. After that, you can wash it with water to remove the mold. You can also use this method to clean a silicone candy mold.

4. Finish

Some plastic flower pot moulds can be finished into mirror surface, dermatoglyphic or company logo by thermal transfer. This process will take some time. If you want a more quick production, we suggest to use a one point hot runner.

Mold spores can spread by air or through direct contact with an infected plant and soil. When reusing a container, sterilize it and remove the old soil. A fungicide or vinegar solution is usually effective at killing the fungal spores.

Proper drainage is essential for most houseplants, and excessively moist soil creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive. Try repotting your plants with a new bag of soil or adding soil amendments like perlite and sand to improve aeration.

Mold can also be discouraged by lowering the temperature in your greenhouse. This is helpful as you prepare your seedlings for a harsher outdoor climate and helps to lower humidity levels in the room. This will discourage mold spores and help your plants grow healthy.
