New Technologies Add Zip to Rotomolding

摘要

Fully automated rotomolding equipment for nearly lights-out operation, a new approach o balancing molds, and a new over design that trims space and energy requirements mark some of the new developments unveiled at the 27th Annual Fall Meeting of the Association of Rotational Molders (ARM), held in October in Toronto. The conference and exhibition also introduced new materials technologies, including two new methods that impart adhesive qualities to polyethylene surfaces, as well as new mold coatings and release agents. A new graphic transfer technology for use in high-temperature molding environments and a one-shot foam/skin system were also unveiled.
