What is the difference with other molding processes?
+
Rotomolding (rotational molding) is distinguished from other molding processes, such as injection, extrusion and blow molding, by its unique production method. In rotomolding, a mold containing powdered plastic material is heated and rotated in two perpendicular axes, distributing the material evenly to form hollow parts. Unlike injection, which uses high pressure to force molten material into a closed mold, or extrusion, which creates continuous shapes by forcing material through a nozzle, rotomolding is ideal for making large, complex products with walls. uniform and without internal tensions.
Does rotational molding create strong parts?
+
Rotomolded parts are 100% stress-free, have excellent impact resistance, and can withstand chemical and environmental conditions.
Can other non-plastic components be added?
+
Yes, in the rotomolding process it is possible to incorporate other non-plastic components. These may include metal inserts, which are placed in the mold before the powdered plastic material is added. During the molding cycle, molten plastic bonds and encapsulates these inserts, creating a final part that combines plastic materials with metal components or other materials. This allows the manufacture of products with improved characteristics, such as structural reinforcements, electrical conductivity or additional functional elements integrated directly into the molded part.
Can I convert other products from other materials to rotomolded plastic?
+
Yes, it is possible to convert products made from other materials to plastic using the rotomolding process. This process is especially useful for manufacturing large, hollow parts that require uniform wall thickness. However, there are some factors to consider.
Will I have my parts on time?
+
The timeliness of delivery of rotomolded parts depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design, the time required to manufacture the mold, the production capacity of the supplier, the number of parts ordered and the quality controls required. It is also important to consider logistics and shipping. To ensure you receive your parts on time, it is crucial to clearly communicate timelines with the supplier, provide accurate design details, and plan ahead for any potential production or shipping delays.
