How does it work?
Rotational moulding is a manufacturing method where a heated, closed mould rotates to distribute plastic material, forming hollow, seamless products of various sizes and shapes, such as tanks, containers, kayaks, and traffic cones. The process is ideal for smaller production runs due to low mould costs.
The plastic material, typically in powder form, is placed in a mould that is heated and rotated biaxially. The plastic particles melt and layer themselves onto the inside of the mould until a smooth surface is achieved. After cooling while still rotating, the plastic hardens. The mould is then opened, and the item is carefully removed for further processing or quality control.
