Roto Moulding
Rotational moulding, also known as roto moulding is a custom moulding process for creating many kinds of hollow items, mainly from plastic.
Roto moulding has a long history of development, which may originate in Egyptian techniques of casting ceramics. However, it is only in the last 30 years, that advances in plastic materials and manufacturing processes have enabled roto moulding to establish the indispensible place it currently holds across a diverse range of industries.
With Northern Ireland, where TitanEXCEL has its headquarters, Queen’s University Belfast has played a considerable role in the development of the plastics industry. The university’s Polymer Processing Research Centre has come to be regarded as the world’s leading research facility in roto moulding. By working both locally and internationally with companies on a range of projects, research teams at Queen’s have developed new materials, optimised processing times and developed highly efficient manufacturing techniques. The result has been a greatly improved process that allows for much wider use.
While roto moulding processes were once limited to the production of plastic toys and hollow chocolate eggs, the industry has now developed to produce plastic tanks and storage devices that are unrivalled in their strength, uniformity and flexibility.
TitanEXCEL is committed to continuing research and development in the manufacture of plastics technology, particularly rotational moulding processes. Through investment, interactive dialogue with our customers and a determination to explore new opportunities, TitanEXCEL remains a leading force in an evolving industry.
