Rotomoulding: versatile processing for complex hollow parts
Discover when to use rotomoulding, what makes the process unique, and how TERmicron® supports efficient and sustainable production.
When to use Rotomoulding
When selecting the most suitable moulding method for a specific application, several key parameters should be carefully considered:
Component Dimensions
The size and geometry of the component are crucial factors in the selection process.
Component Configuration and Design
The overall configuration and intended design significantly influence the choice of manufacturing method.
Expected Moulding Time
The anticipated duration of the moulding process is another important factor when selecting an appropriate moulding technique.
Component Weight
The expected weight of the finished product is a key parameter in determining the most suitable moulding method.
Rotomoulding is particularly versatile and can be used to produce a wide range of shapes, especially hollow structures. This flexibility enables a variety of applications, including products that appear solid while incorporating a hollow design, such as sunshades and automotive armrests. In addition, products that initially appear closed can be strategically cut into two or more open parts, further demonstrating the adaptability of rotomoulding for diverse manufacturing requirements.
Advantages of Rotomoulding
Rotomoulding presents several advantages that contribute to its appeal in various manufacturing scenarios:
Insert Integration
Cost-Effective Prototyping
Economical Production Moulds
More economical compared
Reduced Scrap Generation
Complex Part Geometry
Colour Variation in a Single Moulding
Double-Wall Object Production
Cross-Linkable Polyethylene Mouldin
Maximum Design Freedom
Multilayer Part Capability
Sustainability
Rotomoulding is particularly well suited to minimizing waste.
By optimizing material usage, the process supports responsible resource management and contributes to both environmental sustainability and cost-efficient production of plastic products. TERmicron® powders can also be produced from regranulates that are manufactured and micronized on our internal compounding lines.
