Rotational Molding F.A.Q’s.

Rotational Molding F.A.Q’s.

Rotational molding is a manufacturing process where plastic is melted,
rotated in a mold to coat evenly, cooled, and removed, creating hollow,
seamless products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

These are just a few of the questions we often get asked.

We generally have a 2 week lead time before parts go on a machine in a normal environment. Then depending on the complexity of the product and wall thickness, we can run anywhere from 15-24 pieces per day.

We currently have 4 rotational molding machines at Integrity.

We have limited space available but are always willing to discuss your drop-shipment needs.

We are currently not ISO certified, but our standards are written in an ISO format. All customer job aids, spec sheets, and quality checks are written specifically for each product we run.

We currently run at about 70% daily capacity on 3 of our machines. We can use our 4th machine as additional capacity or use it to help with quicker production to help meet customer product timelines.

We help our customers with secondary operations to full turn-key products.

We have been in business for 20 years.

We have around 50 employees helping to meet the needs of customers at all levels and at all times.

We operate 3 shifts 7 days per week.

THE ROTATIONAL MOLDING PROCESS

How It Works – SUCCESS IS IN THE PROCESS

How It Works – SUCCESS IS IN THE PROCESS

Loading Stage

The rotational molding process starts when a quality mold is placed on one of the arms of the rotational molding machine. Several molds may be placed on the machine at the same time. Pre-measured plastic resin is then loaded into each mold.

Heating Stage

The molds are then moved into the oven where they are slowly rotated on both the vertivcal and horizontal axis. The molding resin begins to coat the internal surface of the heated mold evenly which allows the operator to control the wall thickness.

Controlled Cooling Stage

Once the mold rotates from the oven to the cooling chamber, the curing process begins. The curing process is a combination of air and water that are applied to the mold to help bring the overall temperature down to a pre-determined specification.

Finishing Stage

Once the mold reaches its pre-determined temperature, the product is then unloaded from the mold and moved to the finishing area. In this stage the products are manually trimmed, inspected by our quality control team, and a glossy finish can be applied if desired.
