Kiwi Egg-Tray Crate Mold

Kiwi Egg-Tray Crate Mold

Plastic injection mold for kiwi crates with a cell-pattern floor — every fruit in its own place

Injection mold for kiwi crates with an egg-tray style floor: each kiwi sits in its own cell and is protected during transport and storage. Crate dimensions and the number of cells are made to your order.

Egg-tray cell floor Fully automatic 1.2312 or wear-resistant steel Test-run before delivery

About this mold

Kiwi is a delicate fruit: if it moves around in the crate or the fruits press against each other, it quickly bruises and loses its export value. The egg-tray kiwi crate solves this with a simple idea — the crate floor is shaped like an egg tray, so every kiwi sits in its own cell.

Ahmadi Molding builds the injection mold for this crate from design to final test. The crate dimensions, the number and diameter of the cells, the wall height and the part weight are set from your sample or drawing, and the mold is test-run on an injection machine before shipping so you receive a sound, uniform part.

This mold has already been built and shipped to domestic and export customers, including a customer in Azerbaijan; the test video is on this page.

To complete the packaging, a crate lid mold can be made to fit the same crate. You can see our other crate molds on the fruit crate molds page.

Key features

One cell for every kiwi

The crate floor is designed with cells so the fruits stay apart, do not roll and do not press against each other.

Ventilation in cold storage

If needed, vent slots and holes are added to the floor and walls so air flows between the fruits.

Stable stacking

The rim and corners are designed so full crates sit firmly on top of each other and the weight is not passed on to the fruit.

Built for mass production

A fully automatic ejection system and durable steel ensure a short cycle and a long mold life.
