Melamine Tray Mould | Large Flat Tray Moulds – PANLONG

The PANLONG melamine tray mould is a compression mould built for large, flat, shallow-draw products - serving trays, buffet trays, tea trays and handled trays. Trays look simple and behave differently: the mould has to deliver a flat, warp-free surface across a much wider area than a plate, which is what this tool is designed around

    Why Large Flat Moulds Are Their Own Design​

    • A tray is not a scaled-up plate. The geometry changes what the mould has to control:​

      (1)Flatness across a wide surface - small warpage that is invisible on a plate becomes obvious on a tray​

    • (2)Wall-thickness consistency at the rim, where trays are lifted and loaded​

      (3)Surface quality across a large polished area, since trays are seen flat-on under serving light​

    Matched to Your Press​​

    Tray moulds are dimensioned to the press family that produces tableware - 250T to 550T - so the mould fits the platen, and the tonnage follows the tray size. Large trays generally run as single or low-cavity moulds; smaller trays can run more cavities. Moulds are machined from P20 / 718 pre-hardened steel with hard chrome plated, mirror-polished cavities​

    FAQ 

    Question1:What plate and bowl sizes can one mould produce?​​

    Round and rectangular trays, with or without handles, across a wide size range. Send your tray drawing with dimensions and rim design and we will confirm the mould build​​​​​

     

    Question2: Which press tonnage suits a tray mould?​​
    Trays run on the tableware press family, 250T to 550T. The tonnage follows tray size and cavity count - large trays need more tonnage than small tea trays. Send the product dimensions for a press recommendation


    Question3:How is flatness controlled on a large flat tray?​

    Through mould design, cooling behaviour and press pressure settings working together. A mould built for flat products keeps the tray stable through the cycle, which is why a tray-specific mould is used rather than a plate mould​

    Question4: Can tray moulds produce decal-printed trays?​​
    Yes - mirror-polished cavities suit both solid and decal-printed trays. Printed decoration is applied and sealed with the finishing line after moulding​
    ​

    Question
    5:
    How many cavities should a tray mould have?​​​​​
    Large trays are usually single or low-cavity; smaller trays can run more cavities. We propose the layout based on tray size, platen area and your target output.​​​​​​
