The carousel-type rotomolding machine (also called turret-type) is a highly efficient hollow plastic molding equipment. Its core features are multi-station parallel operation and automated assembly line production.
Features and Advantages of Carousel-type rotomolding machines
1. High Efficiency: Heating, cooling, and loading/unloading are performed simultaneously on different stations, eliminating downtime and increasing output by over 30% compared to conventional machines.
2. Energy-saving & Uniform Heating: The cylindrical oven design maximizes space utilization and minimizes heat loss. Pure hot are circulation ensures uniform heating and consistent wall thickness.
3. Quality & Convenience: Built-in wireless temperature measurement inside the mold allows real-time material temperature monitoring, reducing reliance on operator experience. PLC precision control supports multiple recipe storage, plus wireless remote control and quick mold change features.
4. Improved Environmental Impact: An independent cooling station reduces dust and hot air emissions in the workshop. Optional exhaust gas recovery systems make the progress more eco-friendly.
Structure: A central turret with 3 or 4 arms, typically serving 4-6 stations in a continuous loop.
Drive System: Uses a one-input, two-output power distributor, where one motor drives biaxial rotation of the mold. This results in lower, failure rates and easier maintenance.
Material Compatibility: Suitable for PE, PP,PVC,PA, and other materials.
Applications: Best suited for high-volume, single-product runs(e.g., storage tanks, traffic barriers) or products with similar cycle times.
Storage& Industrial: Small to medium chemical tanks (50-500L), fuel tanks, IBC containers, trash bins, pallets.
Traffic & Infrastructure: Road cones, traffic barriers, buoys, fenders, bollards.
Automotive: Ducts, air cleaner housings, armrests, seat shells.
Agriculture & Marine: Animal feeding troughs, portable toilets, kayaks, small boat hulls.
Consumer & Medical: Coolers, toys(balls, dolls), medical device housing, orthopedic braces.
Rotational molding, injection molding, and blow molding are three common plastic forming processes. Each has its own strengths and suits different product types. Here is a simple guide to help you decide.1. Rotational Molding – Best for Large size, Hollow, Small-batch custom partsHow it works: Plast
