Exploring the Art of Rotational Moulding: Crafting Excellence with Rototek

At Rototek, we excel in the intricate and innovative process of rotational moulding, or "rotomoulding." This technique is at the heart of our mission to transform your conceptual ideas into tangible products, whether it's a small 1-litre liquid container or an expansive 7-metre structure. With over 20 state-of-the-art machines across our three facilities, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in manufacturing, operating round-the-clock to bring your visions to life.

Understanding Rotomoulding

Roto moulding process is a unique plastic moulding technique that involves heating powdered resin in a hollow mould until it melts and adheres to the walls of the mould. The process is defined by its simplicity and versatility, making it ideal for producing a wide range of products with varying shapes and sizes. Here's a step-by-step overview of how it works:

1. Mould Preparation: A hollow mould, typically made from aluminum or steel, is filled with a precise amount of plastic resin powder.
2. Heating and Rotation: The mould is then heated in an oven while being slowly rotated on both horizontal and vertical axes. This rotation ensures even coating and uniform wall thickness as the plastic melts and sticks to the inner surfaces of the mould.
3. Cooling: After the mould has been uniformly coated, it is cooled using air or water to solidify the plastic into its final shape.
4. Demoulding: Once cooled, the mould is opened, and the finished product is removed. This can range from small, intricate items to large, complex structures.
5. Finishing: The product may undergo additional finishing processes such as trimming, drilling, or assembly, depending on the specific requirements.
