Advanced Rotational Molding" Process <br />How is a tough -as -nails Toter° cart manufactured? It begins with our patented <br />Advanced Rotational Molding'" process. Molds are filled with a pre -measured amount <br />of plastic micro -pellets, and then moved into an oven where a microprocessor controls <br />the temperature, blower velocity, bi-axial rotation and molding cycle. <br />The oven melts the plastic material while the machine rotates, allowing the plastic to <br />coat the inside of the mold. This method of heating and molding requires no high-pres- <br />sure hydraulic equipment to fill the mold, so no stress is introduced dur"ng the molding <br />cycle. This is not the case, by the way, with injection -molded products. <br />The mold is then transferred to the cooling chamber for curing. The cooling cycle is <br />controlled to optimize the final product's impact strength and performance. After the <br />molds have been slowly cooled with air and water and the cart has cured to achieve its <br />maximum impact strength and physical properties, the cart is removed from the mold <br />to be trimmed, imprinted and assembled. <br />Benefits and Advantages of Our Process <br />Advanced Rotational Molding`" eliminates the built-in stress, weakness and brittleness <br />associated with injection -molded products. In addition, Toter uses linear medium -den- <br />sity polyethylene (MDPE) that is specifically engineered for toughness and high -impact <br />resistance. In contrast, injection -molded carts are made with high -density polyethylene <br />(HDPE), which is rigid and brittle and offers poor impact resistance. <br />Superior toughness and durability <br />Single -piece product design <br />Stress -free, zero -pressure product <br />Ultraviolet (UV) stable <br />Custom colors <br />= Corrosion and chemical resistance <br />Unique design and structural capabilities such as <br />rugged rim, sealed stop bar journals and granite finis <br />
