The HC Companies Deep Press Fit Pot | 3.25in Diam x 3.62in H - Max Liquid Volume: 15.50oz - Black (Case of 450)

Press-Fit Deep Pot That Seats Into Trays for Automated Filling

A pot that shifts or sits loosely in its tray during automated filling can throw off an entire line's fill accuracy, one misaligned container at a time. The HC Companies Deep Press Fit Pot is built with a press-fit rim that seats securely into compatible trays, so it holds its position through the filling and handling process instead of relying on gravity alone.

This Black, 3.25in Diam x 3.62in H press-fit pot holds 15.50oz maximum liquid volume, ships in a case of 450, and pairs with TCS18330 trays for growers automating fill from tray to bench.

Key Features & Benefits

• Press-fit rim design — seats securely into a matched tray opening, keeping the pot from shifting during automated filling.
• Light-blocking co-extruded wall — pairs a dark inner layer with the outer shell in a single molding step, cutting off light before it reaches the root zone.
• Lightweight polypropylene shell — keeps material cost down while holding up to repeated automated handling.
• Matched-tray engineering — designed to seat into TCS18330 trays specifically, so pot and tray function as one paired system rather than a generic fit.

Who Should Use This

Growers on automated tray-fill lines who need pots to seat securely and stay in position through filling, rather than shift loosely in the tray, are the right fit for this Deep Press Fit Pot.

About The HC Companies

The HC Companies engineers its press-fit rim geometry specifically for tray-based automated filling, one option within the broader deep-pot range it manufactures out of Twinsburg, Ohio.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the press-fit rim work on this pot?

The rim is shaped to seat securely into a matching tray opening rather than simply resting loose inside it, so it holds its position through automated filling and transport. That fit reduces the chance of a pot shifting or tipping mid-line.

Why is the interior of this pot dark?

This pot's wall is co-extruded in two layers, an outer shell paired with a dark inner surface formed at the same time, so light is blocked from reaching the growing medium and root zone from the moment the pot is molded. That keeps algae from getting the light exposure it needs to take hold on a wet medium surface.

What is the maximum liquid volume of this pot?

It's rated to 15.50oz within a 3.25in Diam x 3.62in H shell, measured at a full-to-the-brim fill. As with any pot spec, that number is the brim-full capacity, not the space left once growing medium and a plant are actually potted.

What trays are compatible with this press-fit pot?

It's built to seat into TCS18330 trays specifically, rather than fitting loosely into a generic tray opening. Confirm that tray code matches your equipment before committing a full production run to this pot.
