Are you looking for a water tank manufacturer? Gregstrom is a Made in USA rotational molder that can help you with your project. Rotational molding, or rotomolding, provides important advantages over other plastics manufacturing processes that can be used to produce plastic tanks.
Here are five reasons to choose rotational molding and make us your water tank manufacturer.
- Uniform wall thickness
- Seamless construction and molded-in hardware
- Design flexibility and material options
- Cost-effectiveness
- Colors and textures
Let’s take a closer look.
#1 Uniform Wall Thickness
Rotational molding can support a consistent wall thickness across the entire water tank. That’s important for ensuring durability and structural integrity. In parts of the tank that require reinforcement, such as corners and edges, the wall thickness can be increased.
#2 Seamless Construction and Molded-in Hardware
Rotomolding can produce water tanks without seams, and seamless tanks with uniform walls are less likely to have weak points that could leak or fail over time. Rotomolding also supports the use of molded-in hardware such as fittings.
#3 Design Flexibility and Material Options
Rotational molding provides a high degree of design freedom so that you can create plastic water tanks with undercuts and other details. Rotomolding also lets you choose dependable materials like polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).
#4 Cost-Effectiveness
Plastics cost less than metals, and plastic tanks won’t rust out like metal ones. Plus, because plastics are lighter, they cost less to ship. A lightweight plastic tank is also easier for workers to manage during on-site installation.
#5 Colors and Textures
Finally, rotational molding supports molded-in colors and textures. This can also save you time and money because it eliminates post-processing steps such as painting. During rotomolding, the color or pigment is mixed-in with the plastic material. The texture is part of the mold, or tooling.
