Rotational Molding Machines

To understand what this machine is, it is necessary to first answer the question, what is rotational molding. In the industry, the process known as "Rotomolding" is a shaping method used in the production of plastic materials. This process occurs by placing plastic resin or powder into a mold and heating it by rotating the mold at low speed along both horizontal and vertical axes. During the process, the mold is rotated while heating the plastic material, so that the plastic spreads evenly over the inner surface of the mold and takes the shape of the mold. The rotational molding machine is a machine used in the production of plastic products, performing the process of melting and shaping plastic powder or resin through rotating molds. This method ensures that polymer materials are evenly distributed within the mold.

Applications of Rotational Molding Machines

Rotational molding machines are generally preferred for the production of hollow, durable, and large-sized plastic products. Among the products produced using this method are water tanks, plastic barrels, toys, sports equipment, containers, and marine buoys.
