How Rotational Molding Creates Pallets That Outlast and Outperform
What is Rotational Molding?
Rotational molding is a manufacturing process that uses heat and rotation to create seamless parts. It works by using a hollow mold which is filled with material and then rotated slowly and continuously using a consistent heating and cooling process which creates a strong, stress-free, custom shape. This process is used frequently to custom mold plastic into specific shapes such as toys, cones, or in our case, pallets.
Why Do We Use Rotational Molding for Custom Pallets
Rotational molding is ideal for creating custom pallets because the forming process applies consistent heat without pressure, eliminating stress points that weaken the end product, creating a stronger, more durable, impact-resistant product. Whether you’re storing, moving or shipping your product, rotational molding creates a lasting pallet that keeps your product protected. As a bonus, these pallets are also fully recyclable after retirement. Weak pallets open your products up to breakage and spills, creating problems with your products and your facility. Rotomolded pallets are a better option to help keep your products and people safe in any environment.
The Benefits of Rotational Molding
Rotational molding creates pallets that outlast competitors and that are formulated to outperform others. Here’s how.
- Longer lasting: Rotomolded pallets are specifically designed for long-term usage in demanding environments. Most customers can reuse their pallets for 15-20 years with the majority of pallets only being retired after experiencing extreme impact or abuse, rather than normal wear and tear.
- Higher impact resistance: The seamless design of rotomolded pallets make them particularly resistant to drops, contact with forklifts and corner hits, providing greater protection for movement and storage in even the toughest environment.
- Better long-term durability: Rotomolding creates walls that are consistent, eliminating brittle spots that weaken the pallet’s structure, lengthening their overall usability.
Why You Should Choose Rotomolded Pallets
Do you struggle with product quality because weak pallets make it difficult to store and safely move your products? Your products are only as good as the pallets they sit on. Inferior pallets increase the risk of product damage and spills. Rotomolded pallets offer enhanced structural integrity to safeguard products, facilities, and personnel across demanding environments.
Rotomolded pallets are a better option to help keep your products and people safe in any environment. Why?
Rotomolded pallets have the following strengths.
- Unlike typical pallets made from reprocessed materials, these pallets are manufactured from virgin resin, ensuring consistent performance and full recyclability at end of life.
- One-piece, seamless construction with no joints or seams that are prone to splitting and breaking over time.
- Uniform wall thickness that provides strength in structure and eliminates weak points.
- Superior corner and edge toughness that provides additional protection from bumps and drops, a known weakness for most pallets.
- Built for repeated usage and handling on large equipment such as forklifts, conveyors and automated systems.
- Flexible design process to adjust the structure and provide additional reinforcement as needed for your custom application.
