A unique manufacturing processTitan Eko tanks are rotomoulded from a single element, which eliminates tensions within the tank and guarantees uniform thickness. This process, unique in our industry, means our tanks are made entirely from tough plastic and require minimal maintenance. Where are our products used?
Titan Eko products are perfect for applications such as storing liquid fuels, drinking water or chemicals. We also produce other polyethylene products, including containers for waste collection, salt and sand bins and road barriers systems.
How does the production process work?
Rotational moulding involves heating plastic inside an enclosed mould that slowly rotates along two axes. As the unit rotates, the polymer lines the inside of the mould without any pressure or centrifugal force. The speed and duration of the rotation is carefully set to create the perfect shape and wall thickness.
There are four production stages as shown below:
a. Charging the mould with plastic powder
A set amount of powder is put into the stationary mould. The amount of powder inside the mould determines the wall thickness of the final product.
b. Heating
The mould is placed in a furnace and rotates along two axes. It is heated up to the point where the plastic powder melts.
c. Cooling
Having achieved the required temperature, the mould leaves the furnace and is placed in a cooling chamber. The process may involve cooling with water or air, or both.
d. Demoulding
After cooling down, the mould is removed and the process may be repeated.
