Arys is known as a railway hub of southern Kazakhstan, and the town is surrounded by melon and cotton fields. Melon growers need buckets in spring for seeds and fertilizer and in summer for harvesting and pickling, while the cafes by the station need them year-round for prep. We mold this whole range, from 560 ml to 21 L, at our own plant and ship it to Arys by the pallet. Below you'll find what to choose for each season, a pallet calculator, and how to buy.
Arys, Turkestan Region: buckets across the region

In Arys, a bucket changes jobs with the season: seeds and fertilizer in spring, harvest and pickling in summer, prep for cafes and stores in the fall. Under each size is its most common use in and around town.
Roasted seeds, jam, and dairy for retail.
Cafe kitchens, seeds, and small-batch pickling.
Harvest, fertilizer, and wholesale orders.
Containers for platform kiosks, station cafes, and packed lunches for train crews.
Jerry cans for cleaning products at the rail depot and drinking water for the melon fields.
Yellow and red medical waste buckets for the district hospital, the depot's first-aid station, and the station's medical post.

Roasted pumpkin and melon seeds for kiosks by the station: a bucket with no handle, just side lugs.

Watermelon rind jam for retail: a small bucket with a plastic handle that people buy as a gift.

Suzma for train passengers and local shoppers: the clear, handleless body shows how thick it is.

Adjika and tomato sauce for shashlik at cafes by the Arys railway station.

Katyk and sour cream from backyard farms on the edge of town, in a 1 L bucket with a plastic handle.

Pickled cucumbers and green tomatoes from home gardens for the market stall, in a clear bucket.

Selected melon and watermelon seeds are stored under the lid until planting, with the variety written on the side.

Korean carrot salad and vegetable salads for canteens near the station: a serving spoon fits easily into the 200 mm opening.

Sauerkraut for winter sales at the town market: metal bail handle and tight-fitting lid.

Sliced melon on its way from the field to the shed where it's sun-dried: the bail handle with plastic grip takes the weight.

Pickled watermelon wedges for cafes and winter sales: a liter with brine weighs about 1.05 kg.

Fertilizer solution is carried down the melon rows in a bucket with a bail handle and plastic grip.

Grease for farm machinery and irrigation pumps: a spatula fits into the wide 332 mm opening.

Mineral fertilizer for planting cotton and melons: the lid protects the granules from dust and rain.

A platform kiosk in Arys scoops kurt and nuts to go with tea into a 250 ml hexagonal container: 13 g empty, with the lid closed in front of the customer.

Passengers on passing trains buy sun-dried melon slices from nearby fields: the round 385 ml container with no handle lies flat in a bag.

A locomotive engineer's lunch for the run: salad from a deli near the depot in a 400 ml hexagonal container, a shape that packs side by side in a bag.

In summer, sliced watermelon is sold by the portion at the station: a round 550 ml container holds several slices, topped with a lid.

When a train pulls in, station cafes bring out plov and manty in flat 122 × 173 mm trays and close the lid in front of the passenger.

Cleaner for railcars and platforms at the rail hub: 5 L jerry can, 163 × 190 × 240 mm, fits on a storeroom shelf.

Drinking water goes out to melon growers in distant fields near Arys in 10 L jerry cans with a molded-in handle and screw cap.

Locomotive depot health post: an engineer gets a shot after a run, the needle comes off in the lid valve, and the one-liter bucket sits on the procedure table.

Pre-trip medical check room at the depot: after each train crew, the medic collects breathalyzer mouthpieces and tongue depressors in a yellow 2.3 L bucket.

First-aid post at Arys station: a passenger from a passing train gets a shot, and the syringe goes into a three-liter bucket with a needle remover. The empty bucket weighs 95 g.

Treatment room at Arys District Hospital: the table is wiped down between patients, with wipes pulled through the 75 mm opening in the dispenser lid.

Outpatient surgery room: cuts from the melon harvest and injuries among track workers. Bandages go into the surgeon's yellow 5.6 L bucket, and the lid valve takes off the needle.

Rail hub ambulance service: after a round-the-clock shift of calls, crews turn in their used supplies, and the yellow 11.2 L bucket at the station gets its lid snapped shut.

Arys maternity ward: a yellow 11.5 L bucket stands in the exam room, and after the shift an orderly carries it out by the plastic handle.

Infectious disease ward at Arys District Hospital in summer: a red 18 L bucket holds Class C waste (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification), and the lid stays on until it's taken out.

Waste storage area at the Arys hospital: until the truck hauls the waste away for treatment, it's kept in a lidded 21 L bucket.
All fourteen buckets nest inside each other, so a whole season's supply takes up a corner of the shed, not half a room. The flat lid seats into a double rim, and just below it is a tamper-evident tear strip embossed with the word OPEN.
The table follows a melon grower's year and the station cafes' calendar: which product goes into the bucket, at what time of year, and which size people reach for first.

The heaviest row is pickled watermelon: a liter of pickles with brine weighs about 1.05 kg, so a full 11.5 L bucket comes to roughly twelve kilograms. That's why picklers choose buckets with a metal bail handle and plastic grip, not a plastic handle.
A town where rail lines meet melon fields buys packaging in four different ways. Each is described below to make it easier to see which size to start with. A melon grower thinks in hectares and tonnes, a cafe in portions per day, and a market vendor in how the goods look on the stall.

In spring, growers buy fertilizer and seeds; in summer, packaging for picking and slicing melons. They take the 21 L with a 332 mm opening for fertilizer, the 3 L with a tight lid for seeds, and the 8 L for slicing.
In the cotton fields, buckets carry fertilizer solution and water for the crew. A 15 L bucket with a bail handle and plastic grip is easy to carry down the rows, and drinking water is kept in 10 L jerry cans.
Pickled watermelon, cucumbers, and tomatoes sell at the market in fall and winter. Large batches go into 11.5 L buckets, and retail into clear 2.3 L buckets that show off the wedges and the brine.
Cafes and canteens near the station keep salads, sauces, and prepped food in 3.8 to 5.6 L buckets. The 3 L and 3.8 L share the same 200 mm opening, so they line up neatly on the shelf.
Choose a size and the number of buckets, and the calculator works out the pallets. A farm outside Arys orders 900 of the 21 L buckets for fertilizer before planting: that's two pallets. For pickling watermelon, it adds 1,200 of the 11.5 L buckets, another two pallets.
We sell buckets direct from the factory, with a minimum order of one pallet. Melon growers, cafes, and stores all go through the same steps, and it goes faster if you know your product and quantity in advance.
What you'll be packing, in which months, and how much. For melon fields, just give us your planted area and how much you pickle, and our sales manager will turn that into buckets.
Your sales manager will suggest sizes, count the pallets, and quote a price for the order, including shipping to Arys.
Once you confirm, the plant assembles your pallets in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ). If you want your farm's brand on the bucket, the artwork gets approved first.
A freight carrier hauls the pallets to Kazakhstan, and the shipment is handled within the EAEU. The paperwork for your order travels with the cargo.

Orders ship directly from the HTI plant in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village: we have no intermediate warehouses in Turkestan Region. A freight carrier hauls the pallets to Kazakhstan, and the shipment is handled within the EAEU. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order, once the pallets are counted.
Being a rail hub doesn't mean your buckets will travel by train: your sales manager chooses the transport method together with the carrier. What matters on your end is giving the exact unloading address and a convenient time to receive the delivery.
Melon fields need packaging in two waves: for planting and for harvest. If you order both waves in advance, we can split the shipment across two trucks, so you're not hunting for buckets at the height of the season.
Drinking water jerry cans ship on a separate pallet: they don't nest and take up more truck space than buckets of a similar size. Your sales manager will factor that in when putting together a mixed order.
Pages for nearby towns and the whole region, with packaging matched to local products.
In the field and at the market stall, a bucket has different jobs to do. Four versions cover both.
Buckets from 8 L up come with a bail handle and plastic grip that won't cut into your palm when you carry a load of harvest or fertilizer across the whole field.
In a clear bucket, shoppers can see pickled watermelon wedges and rind jam without opening it. The clear version comes in every size.
Empty buckets nest inside each other, so a season's supply stores compactly. Jerry cans don't nest, so fewer of them fit on a pallet.
For the market, a label with your farm's name is enough. If the bucket goes to stores, your brand can be fused into the wall with in-mold labeling (IML), and it will survive washing.

Directly from the HTI plant: orders start at one pallet and ship from our production site in Bishkek. Call +996 222 600 292 or request a callback, and our sales manager will match buckets to your season.
The 11.5 L with a 295 mm top: wedges go in and come out whole. For retail at the market, clear 2.3 L buckets are the usual choice. Learn more on our pickle buckets page.
Your sales manager prices each order based on quantity, handle type, color, and printing, and includes shipping to Arys right in the estimate.
No, we have no pickup points or warehouses in town. Buckets ship only from the plant in Ak-Chiy village and reach you by the pallet.
By the pallet through a freight carrier, as a shipment within the EAEU. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order.
Yes, they work well for dry goods: the lid keeps out dust, and marker labels show up clearly on the white body. Just don't reuse a fertilizer bucket for food afterward.
Usually the 8 L: a full bucket isn't heavy to carry, and the metal bail handle with plastic grip won't cut into your palm. For larger batches, the 11.5 L works well.
Yes. For a trial order, we apply a label; for ongoing production runs, we use IML: the design is fused into the wall during molding and won't rub off.
Every size, with dimensions and empty weight, is in the catalog. Recommendations for all of Turkestan Region are on a separate page, and our neighbors in Shardara and Turkestan have pages of their own.

Tell us your crops, how much you pickle, and how much packaging you went through last year. Our sales manager will suggest a mix of sizes and split the order into deliveries for planting and for harvest.
