In 1994, Toter introduced its patented Advanced Rotational Molding"' process which has revolutionized both the rotational molding and waste industry. With this new state-of-the-art manufacturing process, Toter molds intricate designs heretofore impossible for conventional rotomolders. Toter's "zero stress" molding technology offer important higher strength to weight ratios and durability advantages over "high stress" processes such as injection molding. During our molding process, molds are filled with a pre -measured amount of plastic micro -pellets, then moved into an oven to melt the plastic material while the machine rotates. This rotation in heat causes the plastic to coat the inside of the mold. This method does not require high-pressure hydraulic equipment to fill the mold, so no stress is introduced during the molding cycle (unlike stress created by injection molding). The mold is transferred to a cooling chamber to cure, where a microprocessor controls the cooling cycle to optimize impact strength and performance of the final product. After slowly cooling with air and water, the cart is removed from the mold to be trimmed, imprinted and assembled. Important products such as kayaks and bridge barriers are rotationally molded because both products must withstand impact, just like carts must bounce back when serviced by an automated arm, and especially in cold temperatures. Extreme environments, such as Anchorage, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Pasadena, and numerous other cities have proved that advantage. Many of our customers have tried injection molded carts and switched (or switched back) to our rotationally molded product due to the lowest lifecycle cost of our carts. Our molding process and material create a 15-20+ year cart life expectancy, which in turn allows Toter to back our carts with a 12 year cart body warranty and 10 years on all other components. A few of our customers with carts over 15-20+ years old include are: ■ Macon, GA - 132K carts over 45 years ■ Washington, DC - 377K carts over 40 years ■ Visalia, CA - 105K carts over 35 years ■ Salt Lake City, LIT - 259K carts over 34 years ■ Pasadena, CA - 86K carts over 33 years ■ Statesville, NC - 21K carts over 33 years ■ Winston-Salem, NC - 214K carts over 31 years ■ Tucson, AZ - 337K carts over 31 years • Dayton, OH - 288K carts over 31 years ■ Austin, TX - 775K carts over 30 years ■ Pensacola, FL - 28K carts over 29 years ■ Des Moines, IA - 189K carts over 29 years ■ Houston, TX - 464K carts over 24 years • San Antonio, TX - 1 million carts over 18 years ■ Montgomery County, MD - 59K carts over 18 years ■ Fort Worth, TX - 82K carts over 18 years ■ Vancouver, BC, Canada - 232K carts over 17 years ■ Lauderdale County, FL - 31K carts over 17 years ■ Fort Wayne, IN — 200K carts over 16 years ■ Greensboro, NC-118K carts over 15 years • Akron, OH —145K carts over 15 years w The list shows just a very few of our thousands of customers.
