ROTATIONAL MOULDING MACHINE

Image
  ROTATIONAL MOULDING INTRODUCTION ·          Rotational molding is a process of making hollow articles. ·          The part is formed inside a closed female mold. ·          In this process the mold rotates biaxially during heating and cooling cycle. ·          Rotational molded pieces are stress free because the pieces are produced without any external pressure. ·          The ability to manufacture large containers of capacity 30,000 gallons as well as small items like golf ball is responsible for the growth of this process. ·          The Process requires relatively in expensive equipment and exerts on only small pressure on the material being formed. PRINCIPLE ·          The principle of the process is that finely divided plastic material becomes molten when comes in contact with hot metal surface of the mold and takes up the shape of that surface. ·          As only female mold is used, the only pressure exerted is those induced by gravity and centrifugal forc
