PLASTIC ROTATIONAL MOLDING
Shuttle 3000 Rotational Molding Machine
The Shuttle 3000 Is used for manufacturing large/medium hollow plastic products and articles. The most commonly used raw materials are High density polyethylene (HDPE ) and Low density polyethylene (LDPE). After the powdered polymers are poured into the molds, they are heated and rotated bi-axially by the arms, which are fixed to very powerful motors, this makes the powder inside the mold to melt and evenly distributed on the inner walls of the molds. After the molten material is evenly distributed, the mold is allowed to cool to let the thermoplastic solidify. As the material solidifies, it shrinks thereby de-attach itself from the inner walls of the mold.

Graphics, logos and text can be molded into the product in any combination of colours. Being permanently embedded in the polymer, they will not deteriorate with age and cannot be removed chemically.
For example the Shuttle 3000 Machine can produce: large troughs, Bins, play equipment etc.
Here are just a few of the design advantages of using rotomoulding for your next manufacturing project:
■ GREATER DURABILITY
Products are made from one piece of hollow plastic rather than welding or bolting together several parts. This means that your products are less likely to fall apart due to weak joints.
■ WIDE RANGE OF SHAPES
Plastic is a very versatile and flexible material. You can make virtually any type of custom shape.
■ VARIETY OF FINISHES, TEXTURES AND COLORS
■ CONSISTENT WALL THICKNESS
The application of molten plastic is very precise, which means you can create a consistent wall thickness around your products. This reinforces the products strength and hardiness.
■ LIGHTER WEIGHT
■ RESISTANT TO RUST, CORROSION AND UV RAYS
■ SAFER FOR HUMANS
Our poly mix complies with the Australian standards.
