Customer Requirement

A frozen-dessert manufacturer wanted a detailed flower-shaped popsicle and provided a 600 × 400 mm production tray. Filling would be manual, so operator access and stick placement were more important than matching an automated nozzle system.

Technical Issue & Judgment

A single-row layout simplifies filling and demolding and makes the stick direction easier to manage. Four molds can be arranged on the tray with the sticks staggered between facing molds, preserving usable clearance around the silicone for placement and removal.

Actual Production Result

Example outcome: an eight-cavity single-row concept approximately 32–33 cm wide, allowing four molds and 32 popsicles per 600 × 400 mm tray.

Project Documentation & Process

An eight-cavity single-row popsicle mold example planned around a 600 × 400 mm tray, manual filling and efficient tray output.

What This Example Demonstrates

This demo case is structured to show how a mold project page can connect the product requirement, the key production variables and the engineering judgment behind the proposed mold structure.

Planning a Similar Project

Send the product reference, target dimensions or capacity, expected quantity and any production constraints. The first goal is to establish a workable mold direction before detailed tooling starts.
