What are Roto-Molded Cases?
Roto-molded is the commonly used terminology for cases produced using the rotational molding process. This three-stage, no-pressure, plastic molding process is extremely cost effective and allows for the production of light-weight, seamless, stress-free cases.
What is the Rotational Molding Process?
- Stage 1: In this stage, the heating stage, a plastic charge is placed into the mold and rotated slowly in two planes as heat transfer causes the plastic charge to spread and conform to the mold
- Stage 2: In the cooling stage, the mold is cooled down using either air, water spray, or a combination of the two.
- Stage 3: In the final stage, the load/unload stage, the case is removed and a new plastic charge is inserted into the mold.
The rotational molding process can also be used to produce a wide variety of items, including toy dolls, agricultural equipment, and, of course, shipping cases.
What are the Benefits of Roto-Molded Cases?
For starters, the rotational molding process is much more economical than injection molding or blow molding, creating cost-effective shipping cases. Additional benefits of roto-molded cases include:
- Durability
- Strength
- Customizable
- Integrated metal parts and graphics
- Unlimited design possibilities
