Cast
Moulds
An internal foundry, exclusively dedicated
to rotational moulds casting, assures the
realization of moulds without porosities or
superficial defects with various surface finishing
typologies.
CNC
Moulds
Thanks to high-speed 5 axis milling machines,
we realize high-quality CNC moulds in a
very short time.
Easy
Mould
Ideal for prototype pieces or for pieces
without aesthetical requirements.
1) No model is realized (this phase is bypassed
by a special foundry process).
2) Flash and profile are not particularly
looked out.
3) Surface finishing completely shot peened
or sand blasted.
4) No frame on the mould; closure with clamps
directly on the mould.
Cast
& CNC Moulds
Thanks to the highest casting quality which
always features Persico moulds, the Rotational
Division is able to manufacture cast aluminium
moulds then machined by CNC milling.
Steel
Moulds
The steel moulds are suitable to medium/big
dimensions pieces and allow to obtain a
high quality product with a reasonable investment.
Rotational
moulds are generally consisting of metal
shells, coupled in such a manner to realise
a closed container, whose internal the resin
is loaded.
The mould has also an external metal structure,
called frame, and a closing system.
The mould function consist in defining,
through its internal surface, the external
surface of the part; furthermore the mould
has to conduct the heath for the resin casting,
to allow the internal pressure regulation
during the heating and the cooling, to be
enough stiff not to deform during the process
stages, but at the same time its weight
has also to be limited
Rotational moulding
is a simple process, composed of four basic
phases:
 |
1.
A pre-weighed amount of powdered or
liquid plastic in placed in one half
of a thin walled hollow metal mould
which is mounted on the arm of a roto-moulding
machine. The mould is then closed
with clamps or bolts |
 |
2.
The
mould is then biaxial rotated on perpendicular
axes and moved into an oven where
heat is applied. The metal mould becomes
hot and the power/liquid tumbling
inside rises in temperature. Hot material
sticks to the mould in successive
layers to form the part |
 |
3.
When the material has melted and has
been consolidated, the mould is moved
to a cooling station where forced
air, water mist or a combination of
both is used to bring the part temperature
down to a point below the crystallization
or solidification point of the material.
Biaxial rotation continues to prevent
the material from sagging |
 |
4.
Once
the part is cool, the mould is moved
to the unloading station where the
part is removed. The mould is then
ready to begin the process again. |
