ENGINEERING DETAILS
Designed for the Real World
Stackable High Strength Lids
Stackable High Strength Lids Universal lids made from same high strength plastic with complete inter stackability.
Flat Bottom + Drainage
Rolls easily on conveyor belts and workbenches. Strategically placed drainage holes eliminate water pooling in the core area.
Core Seperators markers
Even while stacked, core samples don't come in contact with each other, preventing samples from being distorted/broken
ID Tag Holders
Aluminium ID tag slots on both front and sides ensure tray identification no matter how they're stored or oriented in the column.
Engraved Scale Markings
Built-in depth markers and "Start" symbol enable fast, accurate sequencing and measurement of core samples without external tools.
Ergonomic Handles
Rounded, no-sharp-edge design with front and side ergonomic handles for injury-free lifting and logging operations.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Indotray manufactures a complete range of plastic core trays for diamond drilling, mineral exploration and geological core storage.
-
Available for standard BQ, NQ, HQ and PQ drill core sizes.
-
Designed for organized storage and handling of diamond drill core samples.
-
Suitable for exploration projects, mining companies, drilling contractors, geological laboratories and core sheds.
-
Matching core tray lids, core separators and aluminium identification tags are also available.
-
Different tray configurations can be supplied depending on the core diameter and project requirement.
Our objective is to provide a standardized core storage system that can be used across exploration projects worldwide.
-
Yes. Indotray core trays are designed specifically for the commonly used BQ, NQ, HQ and PQ diamond drilling core sizes.
-
Each tray is designed around the relevant drill core diameter and storage requirement.
-
Separate tray designs ensure the core is properly supported and arranged in clearly defined rows.
-
Suitable for core generated using widely used wireline diamond drilling systems.
-
Helps exploration teams maintain organized geological core logging, sampling, photography and long-term core storage.
-
Accessories such as separators and identification tags help mark drill runs, depths and sample intervals.
This makes Indotray suitable for both active drilling programs and permanent mineral exploration core storage facilities.
-
Indotray core trays are engineered for the demanding conditions commonly encountered at mining, geological exploration and diamond drilling sites.
-
Manufactured from high-impact polypropylene-based plastic material selected for strength and durability.
-
Designed to withstand regular handling, transportation and movement around drilling sites and core yards.
-
Reinforced structural features improve rigidity and help trays carry heavy drill core.
-
Plastic construction eliminates common problems associated with rusting and corrosion of metal core boxes.
-
Suitable for use in wet, dusty, humid and outdoor exploration environments.
-
Designed for repeated handling during core logging, geological inspection, sampling and storage.
The result is a durable and reusable plastic drill core tray intended for both short-term field handling and long-term geological core storage.
-
Yes. Indotray core trays can be manufactured with UV stabilization for outdoor core storage and harsh climatic conditions.
-
UV-resistant additives help protect the polypropylene from degradation caused by prolonged sunlight exposure.
-
Suitable for open core yards and outdoor geological storage facilities.
-
Particularly relevant for exploration projects operating in regions with high solar exposure such as Africa, the Middle East, Australia, India and South America.
-
UV stabilization helps maintain the mechanical performance and service life of the plastic core tray.
-
Material and UV-performance testing can be provided depending on project and customer requirements.
For exploration companies storing drill core for several years, UV resistance is an important consideration when selecting a plastic core box or core tray system.
-
Indotray trays are designed specifically for storing the substantial weight of diamond drill core samples.
-
Structural ribs, reinforced corners and supporting columns help distribute the weight of the core.
-
Trays are designed to remain stable during normal lifting, handling and storage.
-
The tray geometry allows multiple loaded trays to be stacked vertically in a core shed or core yard.
-
Optional stackable lids help protect the geological core while maintaining an organized storage system.
-
Proper stacking reduces floor space requirements and improves the efficiency of large core storage facilities.
-
The final recommended stack height depends on core density, tray size, storage surface and site handling practices.
For large exploration programs containing thousands of metres of drill core, efficient stacking can significantly simplify core yard management and geological sample storage.
-
Indotray provides a complete range of accessories designed to create an organized diamond drill core storage system.
