WHAT IS ROTATIONAL MOULDING?

Rotapro's Rotational Plastic Moulding (also known as Rotomoulding) is a type of plastics manufacturing that offers significant benefits and superior results when compared with other forms of manufacture.

The process involves:

• Creating a hollow mould from the initial product concept;

• Adding the correct amount and type of powdered plastic into the moulds;

• Slowly rotating the moulds 360 degrees, and heating at high temperatures in our ovens to melt and form the product;

• Allowing the plastic to cool in the mould; and

• Removing the cooled product from the mould.

1 | Moulds are opened and cleared

2 | Any fittings or accessories are added.

3 | The correct amount of powered plastic is added to the mould

4 | Moulds are locked and prepared.

5 | The moulds are heated and rotated in the ovens to melt the plastic and coat the moulds

6 | The moulds are cooled in preparation for product removal

7 | Moulds are carefully opened

8 | The finished product is released from the mould
