Process:
Rotational Molding
The Process Defined
| |
Rotational
molding is a process utilizing a premeasured amount
of plastic powder, placed in a mold cavity to produce a part by a
heating, cooling and part removal/mold recharge cycle. The versatility
of rotational molding allows for parts in a variety of shapes and
sizes that are partially or totally enclosed. In-mold
and post-mold operations compliment the process to produce parts that
save time and money in assembly of the final product. |

The Benefits of
Rotational Molding
- One-piece, multi-wall
construction
- Economical tooling
- Captured, threaded
inserts
- Foamed linings
- Thicker-walled
outside corners
- Relatively stress-free
parts
- Little or no draft
angles
- Weight reduction
(as compared to metals)
- Short lead-time
- Excellent load-bearing
properties

Typical
Applications
The process is so versatile, the possibilities are practically unlimited--
from fuel tanks to water tanks, motor housings to speaker housings,
|
|
fan
shrouds to belt shrouds, POP displays to signs, pallets to bins,
drums to ducts, applicator hoppers to feed hoppers and lots more.
