(click button in video to see the  clip - its very good !)

we have now completed our new bosch trimming robot system for cutting rotational mouldings.

the system uses a commercial bosch routing head of 1400 watts power to enable contious cutting of polyethylene and polypropylene rotational mouldings.

please click on the link above to see a  short video demonstrating the speed and efficiency of the new machine.

we can also use this system for rotational moulded mdpe, hdpe and pp product

our new factory extension (beeching park) is now in production. we have a new rotomoulding machine and robot for the trimming and machining of plastic rotomouldings.

our new moulding machine is very efficient, we have already started moulding our medical bins, tanks and other technical mouldings.

materials currently being moulded include polyethylenes and polypropylenes.

our administrative office is based in the building. the new phone system allows full interoffice capability and includes rod dix working in remote locations (is france still remote ??)

more pictures of the new rotomoulding machine to follow.

borealis have announced that they are pulling out of the rotomoulding powder market because of poor demand and price pressures. this is a major concern for all rotomolders because borealis are a major supplier of technical polymers to the industry.

there are of course other supply options but the loss of one of the leading suppliers is going to limit choice.

we have also seen a further 2 price rises in rotomoulding materials during the last 3 months. the industry speculation is that the prices will top out in april - but who knows.

bob has done his best to secure long term supply contracts but we remain concerned about rising oil prices, currency confidence etc.

our new machine has finally arrived in cornwall, we have unpacked the container and built up the machine in just 4 days, we are now waiting for the gas company connection and electrical completion.

we should be testing early next week (early february)

this machine will enable us to offer technical rotational mouldings of high quality from a vareity of popular materials.

the machine has internal cooling which will help to hold dimensional size.
