Custom Rotomolding Water Rescue Robot Smart Lifebuoy Shell

Custom Rotomolding Water Rescue Robot Smart Lifebuoy Shell

Smart lifebuoy is a water rescue robot that is self-propelled and maneuvered by remote control. This water rescue equipment can perform a water rescue quickly and safely, even in the most extreme conditions, and without risking serious injury or loss of other life. Smart lifebuoy is widely used in the search and rescue, maritime rescue, river rescue, flood rescue and salvage.

Smart lifebuoy requires a robust shell to mount the propulsion motors, batteries, and protect the sensitive electronic components inside. Rotmolding process is an ideal solution to produce smart lifebuoy shell with fantastic level quality.

Rotomolding process overview

Rotomolding, also known as rotational molding, is considered a most competitive approach to plastic manufacturing. The process consists of loading a plastic resin in powder form into a hollow, shell-like mold. The molds are held by a machine arm that is engaged and sent into biaxial rotation at relatively low speeds. As being heated, the plastic resin is melted and distributed to the inside of the mold surface. The wall thickness of the parts is controlled by the amount of resin poured into the mold which depends on its application. After the cooling phase of rotation, the product can be removed from the mold. The end product is a hollow, virtually seamless shape with a consistently even wall thickness.

The advantage to use rotomolding

Compared to other plastic molding process, rotomolding has several unique characteristics and advantages

Design flexibility

A wide range of sizes and complex shapes can be molded by rotomolding, ranging from small to oversize. 

Low tooling costs

Rotomolding moulds are considerably cheaper in comparison to injection and blow moulding.

Low manufacturing costs

The inserts, curves, and contours can all be part of the design by feeding a measured quantity of material into the mould. The romolding process results in a complicated multi-layer products with superior strength and close tolerances by eliminating secondary operations, while save both the time and money. and textures. Very little material is wasted during the process, and excess material is often re-used, making it economical and environmentally friendly.

Accuracy and consistency

Rotomolding achieves uniform wall thickness with corners tending to be thicker, which adds product strength and integrity.

High-quality material

The material choice for rotomolding is polyethylene. The material offers excellent chemical and impact resistance, electrical properties and low coefficient of friction. It is considered a dielectric material. In addition, polyethylene is lightweight, easily processed and offers near-zero moisture absorption.

Reliable and safe

Rotomolded smart lifebuoy shell is one-piece construction that is airtight, waterproof as well as shock and vibration resistant. The shell extreme durable to withstand abuse and harsh environmental conditions to protect the sensitive electronic component, and ensure maximum reliability during use, preventing the risk of sudden injury or breakage.
