Output depends on pot size, material thickness, and mold cavity count. As a reference: the SY-750B running a 12-cavity 4-inch nursery pot mold at 30 cycles per minute produces 21,600 pots per hour (518,400 per day on a 24-hour shift). Larger deep pots on lower-cavity molds produce fewer units per cycle but greater total volume per unit.

Yes. By changing the mold, a single SAYEAH thermoforming machine can produce pots of different diameters, heights, and shapes — round, square, tall, decorative, or custom. Our quick mold change system allows switching between product types in under 30 minutes, so manufacturers can run 4" nursery pots in the morning and 10" garden pots in the afternoon on the same line.

PP (Polypropylene) is the global standard for flower pots — UV-stabilized grades offer excellent outdoor weather resistance, impact strength in cold conditions, and affordability at scale. PS is used for decorative retail pots where rigidity and appearance matter. PLA is growing rapidly for compostable eco-friendly pots. For black nursery pots, UV-stabilized recycled PP with carbon black masterbatch offers the best cost-to-performance balance.

SAYEAH flower pot thermoforming machines form pots up to 240mm deep using our blowing technology, or up to 220mm with robotic pick-and-place stacking. This is among the deepest forming capabilities on the market, suitable for shrub pots, tree nursery containers, and deep-root specialty pots. Our SY-750B I H and SY-850B III models are specifically engineered for deep-draw pot production.

Thermoforming delivers three significant advantages for flower pot production: dramatically lower tooling costs (thermoforming molds cost approximately 10% of an injection mold — critical for seasonal or niche pot lines), faster mold changes (under 30 minutes vs several hours), and thinner wall profiles (reducing material consumption by 30–50% per pot). Injection molding is only preferred for premium decorative pots where surface finish is paramount — for standard nursery and garden pots, thermoforming is far more economical at volu
