Shuttle-machine characteristics – check its key features
Modern Shuttle-type machines have been designed according to the needs of customers, who look for a distinctly differentiated profile for producing plastic parts. It even works perfectly for medium and large sizes, and its specific way of construction (the presence of a minimum of two arms) will guarantee precise movement of the mould between heating systems and dedicated cooling stations. As far as the Shuttle machine is concerned, versatility of its application must be highlighted. This machine allows for working with different sizes of moulds. What is more, the machine does not take up much space within the workspace. In combination with other discussed solutions, the machine provides significant comfort to end users. Additionally, OREX ROTOMOULDING provides each customer with an opportunity to benefit from the best offer in the market for the Shuttle-type machines in a hybrid version with three sources of power: gas, electricity and fuel. And regardless of the type of machine chosen and the ranges of heating chambers, the Shuttle-type machine equipped with brand-name components will be an extremely energy-efficient and financially viable solution.
Rock and Roll-type machine, i.e. the best choice for the production of narrow and long elements
If you specialize in the production of long and narrow plastic parts, Rock and Roll machines will help you achieve satisfactory results in the field of efficiency or also profitability of this type of investment. As an ideal example we can give canoes and tanks in specific shapes, as already mentioned. A standard Rock and Roll-type machine is constructed with one arm, which turns the mould around the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. The oscillating motion will provide you with a possibility of an even and precise distribution of the material inside the mould. In this way the risk of creating low-quality plastic components is reduced.
A Carousel-type machine is the most popular type of rotomolding machine
This type of the machines has been recognized as the most often used rotomolding machine for many years. This is the most efficient solution which allows for work with many moulds at the same time. The Carousel-type machine effectively manages the time of production, dividing components into particular stages without necessity to queuing or stopping the process. This is extremely important information for any company that plans to clearly optimize expenses and time previously spent on producing plastic parts through rotomolding. Industry experts call the Carousel-type machines the most precise ones. What they mean, is the accuracy of control, heating and cooling of moulds. It is not necessary to look thoroughly into technical specification to notice the basic differences between the Carousel-type, Shuttle-type or Rock and Roll- type machine. The solution discussed here has been constructed of multiple arms mounted on a rotating platform which is responsible for moving moulds between heating, cooling and discharge systems.
