Rotational Advantage

One of the main advantages of plastic rotational moulding is the reduction in costs; rotomoulding is a great deal more cost effective than fabricating, fibre glass, injection, vacuum or blow moulding.

A design which features intricate details or inserts that increase performance can be easily manufactured using rotomoulding without the need for additional components and can also reduce assembly times.

Components made using rotomoulding are more reliable, robust and able to withstand extreme conditions, without the need for additional chemical or weather proofing.  Components are never over engineered and have no joints and negligible internal stresses. In addition rotomouldings are self coloured so there are limitless aesthetic options available. 

Rotational Moulding Process

If you are considering making the change from metal or grp to plastic then it is worth considering rotomoulding instead of other systems such as injection, blow or vacuum forming. The rotomoulding technique involves placing a small amount of carefully measured plastic powder into a tool, heating and rotating it until the plastic melts and fully coats the inside of the mould. Once cooled and broken apart the moulding is complete.

Though the process is simple the possibilities are endless and can be adapted for more complex finishes with specified wall thickness and various metal inserts for fittings. Amber Plastics uses their many years of experience to modify the process for each client’s brief.

Amber Plastics are specialists in the supply of tanks, including fuel (diesel tanks, petrol tanks), AdBlue tanks, hydraulic, waste and fresh water tanks and screen wash tanks. Our Standard Rotational Moulded Tanks come in sizes ranging from 2 to 295 litres and we are always ready to go straight into production. We can also work with you to design a completely bespoke rotomoulded tank that is then manufactured to the highest standard to your exact requirements.

Rotational Moulding Design Flexibility

Rotomoulding is an incredibly flexible option that can include both simple and complicated designs and features of all shapes and sizes. Used for large tanks and multi wall applications which have different internal and external structures which also allow for rigid, covers, cowls, hatches and lids to be created.

Rotomoulding  permits the creation of even the most multifaceted designs to be produced and can incorporates a whole host of options including logos, inserts, recesses, bosses and spouts.

Products can be finished using CNC techniques and to add to the overall aesthetic of the products surface finishes and textures cab be included as well as a complete spectrum of colours. Once we have created your tooling, repeat production is easy and straightforward with no added costs to the moulding part.
