Rotational molding,
also known as rotomolding, rotocasting or spin casting, is a process
for creating many kinds of mostly hollow items A heated hollow mold is filled with a
charge or shot weight of material, it is then slowly rotated around two
perpendicular axes, causing the softened material to disperse and stick to the walls of
the mold. In order to maintain even thickness throughout the part, the mold continues to
rotate at all times during the heating phase and to avoid sagging or deformation also
during the cooling phase.
We are able to mold very large or small parts in any color. The flexibility of the process
allows complex shapes to be molded easily. Because the plastic builds up inside the cavity
gradually, rotomolding manufactures very strong and durable plastic parts.
Seljan can take you from an idea to a finished part very quickly. We start with a 3D
Solidworks model. After we meet your design expectations our inhouse mold department
takes over. In most cases we are able to get your new tool ready for production in 4-5
weeks.
