Stage 6: Production
“Before Pentas takes your plastic rotational moulding product to mass production, the product and the necessary process will have to be approved. Therefor we first have to do a test-production-serie at the oven.
We fill the mould with plastic powder and heat it until the powder, now a liquid mass, sticks to the hot mould wall. Next, the product is cooled at our cooling station. In order to ensure proper wall thickness distribution, the mould is rotated on two arms throughout the entire process. In the final step, the set product is removed from the mould which is filled with a new batch of powder for the next cycle.
During this process we optimize the parameters of the machine and mould for the best result.”

Phase 1: Drawing up the Programme of Requirements
In order to define the development, it is important to draft a Programme of Requirements (PoR) that your product will have to meet. Read more »
-
Phase 2: Conceptualisation
The concept focuses on integrating functions and producibility as a plastic rotational moulding product. This phase results in the delivery of one or multiple concepts with a motivation and testing of the concepts against the PoR as well as a substantiation with design sketches.
-
Phase 3: Analysis
A risk analysis will be conducted in consultation with yourself. We will test whether the choice of material is suitable for your requirements.
-
Phase 4: Engineering (Detailing of the design)
Detailing of the plastic rotational moulding product is an important phase before we can proceed with mould construction and automation. Read more »
