At Contact Plastics, we specialise in rotational moulding, also known as rotomoulding, a versatile manufacturing process ideal for producing hollow plastic products. With over 35 years of experience, we have earned a reputation for delivering high-quality, durable products tailored to various industries. Here's an overview of our rotational moulding process and its benefits:
Rotational moulding involves heating a hollow mould filled with powdered plastic material and rotating it on two perpendicular axes. The stages include:
This process ensures even distribution of material, creating seamless, stress-free products without the need for additional assembly or welding.
Rotational moulding is compatible with a variety of plastic materials, including:
The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the final product, such as durability, flexibility, and environmental considerations.
Rotomoulding offers remarkable design flexibility, enabling the creation of intricate shapes, contoured surfaces, and variable wall thicknesses. From simple objects to complex, double-walled designs, we can produce bespoke products that are both unique and functional.
Rotomoulded products are known for their exceptional strength and durability. The even wall thickness and seamless construction provide structural integrity, making these products resistant to impact and wear. This makes rotomoulding ideal for applications where robust, long-lasting products are essential.
Rotational moulding is a cost-effective solution for low to medium production volumes. The simplicity of the mould design results in lower tooling costs, and minimal post-processing is required, helping to reduce overall production expenses.
This process is widely used across numerous industries, including:
From large water tanks to intricate automotive parts, rotomoulding offers the versatility to manufacture products in a range of sizes and specifications.
At Contact Plastics, we maintain rigorous quality control throughout the moulding process. Our experienced team closely monitors heating, cooling, and rotation parameters to ensure each product meets the highest standards of quality and precision.
