The rotational moulding technology<\/strong> is capable of producing hollow plastic parts with unique characteristics: products which are able to meet the highest standards of quality and satisfy the most demanding requirements (double layers, sandwich, varying thicknesses, complex shapes), guaranteeing unparalleled properties.<\/p>\n Compared to other types of moulding, the rotational process makes it possible to produce stress-free parts with no welding or joins<\/strong>. As no mechanical force – apart from the rotation – is applied during the melting and moulding process, the part obtained has a uniform thickness, smudge-free colouring and excellent mechanical resistance. Furthermore, parts both small and large (up to a maximum diameter of 4.5 metres) can be manufactured, with complicated contours and professional surface finishes: imitation leather, textured, mirrored, sandblasted, shot-peened, Teflon-coated and industrial gloss.<\/p>\n With rotomoulding you can make a part all in one go<\/strong>, simplifying post-moulding processes to the utmost. Moreover, the low tooling costs<\/strong> represent a highly affordable solution for both large and small scale production volumes.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”SUSTAINABILITY ” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] Rotational molding is a manufacturing technique with a low environmental impact,<\/strong> as the melting of the plastic dusts occurs without direct contact with flames or heat sources. The machine operates by heating the environment in which is located the mold by induction that in turn warms the raw material contained in it. Always LOTOPLAST is sensitive to environmental issues and ecology<\/strong> in general, taking care to use recycled materials<\/strong> (coming from the scrap of other) and optimizing the most of every type of transport and waste of fuel.
