Design
The Corilla Plastics design team bring 30 years of experience to every project they work on. In effect this means that they can become involved in a new project at whatever stage a customer requires, from the evolution of a design concept, through to its development, 3D imaging, prototyping and onward into full production. Customers know that however complex and challenging their product may be, Corilla has the know-how to bring it successfully to production.
Why Choose Rotational or Roto Moulding?
Roto moulding is the chosen production method for items that were traditionally made from GRP, Steel or wood, or an assembly of a number of parts. It facilitates moulding of pieces in one single part, thus reducing production costs whilst enforcing strength and durability of the final product. It reduces the need for product assembly that can significantly add to the cost of production.
Rotational moulds require less tooling than other moulds such as those used in injection moulding and blow moulding. This makes for a more economical start up in less time so production is quickly under way. It makes sense therefore to rotationally mould new products during the development stage, to product test a new design in the most economical way.
Set up is also a quicker process, making roto moulding the preferred manufacturing process for short run work and for items that need to be produced in different colours.
Rotational moulded products have a uniform wall thickness with material build up in the corners where most needed. Unlike some other processes where wall sections can be uneven and thin in the corners. This is particularly useful for the production of large products. Products can also be produced WITH double wall sections for added strength and durability.
The amount of waste produced during the roto moulding process is minimal due to the nature of manufacture. Any waste that is produced can usually be recycled, so this process is a ‘greener’ alternative to some others where off-cuts and runners are waste products that need to be managed.
It’s possible to choose from a selection of different surface textures for practical or aesthetic reasons, and to mould in a company name or logo.
In summary, rotational moulded products have many distinct advantages, and this method of production can be applied to many products across a range of industries. For further advice, call our design team who will be happy to help.
