Rotational Molding

Plastics processing machinery manufacturer KraussMaffei (Munich, Germany) has opened what the company is calling "the world's most versatile TechCenter for lightweight parts and fiber-composites technology." The 1900-square-meter hall houses 11 reaction-processing machines, including what KM says is one of the largest RTM systems worldwide.

Look to PlasticsToday's Product Watch for updates on recent developments in the world of plastics processing machinery. New for rotational molders is the Carrossel independent-arm rotational molding machine from Rotoline Industrial Equipment Ltda. (Chapeco, Brazil), an affiliate of Reduction Engineering Inc. (Kent, OH). The company will introduce the machine at the Brasilplast exhibition this month (May 9-13) in São Paulo, Brazil.
