In the field of horticultural decoration and home beautification, concrete cement planter is gradually becoming a popular gardening item due to its unique texture and style. The importance of custom concrete planter plastic molds, as the key tool for making such planters, cannot be overstated. This article will focus on the customized concrete planter plastic mold material selection, production process, application scenarios, customization process, and maintenance and maintenance of the five major aspects, for a detailed discussion.
1. Material selection
The material selection of custom concrete planter plastic mold is crucial, which is directly related to the service life of the mold, deformation resistance and production costs. Commonly used mold materials include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and ABS plastic.
Polypropylene (PP): with good impact resistance, heat resistance and chemical resistance, it is ideal for making molds. It can withstand the pressure and temperature of cement paste, is not easily deformed, and is relatively low cost.
Polyethylene (PE): divided into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), of which HDPE has higher strength and abrasion resistance. molds made of PE materials have good flexibility and can adapt to a variety of complex shapes of flower pots production.
ABS plastic: with high strength, high toughness and good processing performance, suitable for the production of complex structure, high precision requirements of the mold.ABS plastic mold is not easy to rupture when bearing the pressure of cement slurry, and the surface is smooth, easy to take off the mold.
2.Production process
The production process of customized concrete planter plastic mold is complex and delicate, including mold design, material pretreatment, injection molding, post-processing and other steps.
Mould design: According to the customer’s demand and the design requirements of the flowerpot, the mold design is carried out. The shape, size, texture and location of the drainage holes of the planter should be considered during the design to ensure that the mold can meet the production requirements.
Material pre-treatment: The selected plastic materials are pre-treated by drying, mixing and other pre-treatments in order to improve the efficiency of injection molding and the quality of the mold.
Injection molding: The pre-treated plastic material is injected into the mold, and the plastic material is cured and molded in the mold through heating, pressure and other process conditions. Parameters such as temperature, pressure and injection speed are controlled during the injection molding process to ensure the precision and surface quality of the mold.
Post-treatment: Post-treatment such as trimming, grinding, polishing, etc. is carried out on the injection molding to improve the precision and aesthetics of the mold. At the same time, the quality inspection of the mold is also carried out to ensure that the mold meets the design requirements.
3.Application Scene
The flower pots made by customized concrete cement flower pot plastic molds are widely used in many fields such as courtyard decoration, balcony planting and commercial space.
Courtyard decoration: with its unique texture and style, the concrete planter becomes part of the courtyard landscape, complementing the green plants and adding natural atmosphere.
Balcony planting: It is suitable for planting succulents, flowers and other small plants on the balcony or terrace, which is both beautiful and practical. The sturdiness and durability of cement planters make them ideal for balcony planting.
Commercial space: placing cement planters in commercial places such as cafes and restaurants can create a unique atmosphere and enhance the taste and class of the place.
4.Customization process
The process of customized concrete planter plastic mold includes demand communication, scheme design, quotation confirmation, mold production and quality inspection.
Demand communication: Customers communicate with the manufacturer to clarify the shape, size, texture and quantity of the planter and other requirements.
Scheme design: The manufacturer will design the mold scheme according to the customer’s requirements, including the mold structure, material selection, injection molding process and so on.
Quote Confirmation: The manufacturer conducts costing according to the program design and provides the quote to the customer. After the customer confirms the quotation, both parties sign a customized contract.
Mould production: the manufacturer carries out the mold production according to the scheme design. Including mold processing, injection molding, post-processing and other steps. During the production process, the manufacturer has to maintain communication with the customer and provide timely feedback on the production progress and quality.
Quality Inspection: Conduct quality inspection on the completed mold to ensure that the mold meets the design requirements. The inspection includes the size, shape, texture and location of drainage holes of the mold.
5.Maintenance and upkeep
In order to prolong the service life of customized concrete planter plastic mold, regular maintenance and upkeep is needed.
Clean the mold: the mold should be cleaned in time after use to remove residual cement mortar and impurities to prevent mold clogging and corrosion. Use a soft brush or cloth when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface of the mold.
Check the mold: Regularly check whether the connecting parts of the mold are loose or damaged, and replace or repair them in time if necessary. At the same time, check whether the drainage holes of the mold are smooth to ensure that the planter has good drainage.
Storage environment: Store the mold in a dry and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environment. When not in use for a long time, you can apply a layer of anti-rust oil or protective agent to prevent the mold from rusting and aging.
Lubricate the mold: In the process of using the mold, you can apply appropriate amount of lubricant to reduce the friction between the mold and the cement mortar and improve the service life of the mold. The choice of lubricant should be determined according to the mold material and production process.
To sum up, customized concrete cement planter plastic mold is a kind of plastic product tool with a wide range of application prospects. By choosing suitable materials, fine production process, reasonable application scenarios, standardized customization process and regular maintenance and repair, high quality concrete flower pots can be produced to meet the needs of various fields. With the continuous development of horticultural decoration and home beautification fields, the market prospect of customized concrete cement planter plastic molds will be even broader.
