Replacement moulds · like-for-like replacement trays
Like-for-like replacement trays that change nothing on your line.
When a tray wears out, you want the same tray back. Not a new design, not a new conversation.
Overview
Like-for-like replacement trays, done properly.
Worn trays tear, thin and lose shape. A matched replacement keeps your line, your portions and your team's habits the same.
If we made the original, the drawing and grade are on file. If we did not, we can measure a worn tray and match it.
What we design for
The details that make this format work.
From your tray
We measure a worn tray and match it.
Fix old niggles
Optionally design out a corner that always tore.
Phased fleet swaps
Replace a fleet in stages so the line keeps running.
What we ask up front
The same four questions we ask on every job like this.
Order history
If you've ordered from us before, the drawing is on file. Tell us the original PO or the year we made it.
What's worn out
A photo of the wear helps us decide whether to replace like-for-like or refine the design.
Any process changes
If your fill, chill or wash cycle has changed since the last order, tell us. Grade may need reviewing.
Timescale
Tell us how urgent. Some replacements can be prioritised, especially if the original spec is on file.

Questions
What people ask about this format.
Can you match a mould you did not make?
Yes. Send it and we measure from it.
Will the replacement behave the same?
That is the aim. We match geometry and grade.
How quickly?
Faster when the drawing is already on file. We will tell you honestly.
