Our machine efficiency resultsin big savings when comparedto the competition:

• The Roto MachinesAerodynamically designed ovenwith closed loop control candeliver 30% improvements incycle time and 50% energysavings when compared withother machines.

• The Roto MachinesRotomoulding machine is one ofthe most efficient machines onthe market.

• The Roto MachinesAerodynamic oven re-circulatesthe heat in a closed loop systemand uses less gas.

• There is no extraction fan andspent gas is vented by over-pressure through a balancedflue - this ensures that very littleheat is lost.

• The Roto Machines Oven iscircular (not cubed like others),with less volume to heat up anda more efficient Aerodynamicheat circulation (see sketch).

• The Roto Machines Oven hasonly one opening door. Heat isretained in the back of the ovenduring opening. Most otherRotomachines have openingdoors each end of the ovenresulting in large loss of heatwhen opened.

• The cycle times are quicker with the Roto Machinesmachine – quicker operation,less heat loss and less volumeto heat = quicker re-heat.

• Robust design engineered forcontinuous cycle use.

The Roto Machines control systemis one of the most advancedsystems available, featuring a fullyintegrated modular system withimproved operator control andfacilities. It is easier to use, serviceand maintain and allows for futureupgrades.

Using the latest Industrial basedMitsubishi Q series PLC andoperator touchscreen it provides a very robust reliable operatingplatform. There is no PC, no crashes,no re-boots, just industrial PLCprocess control reliability. The system is designed as amodular construction with plug and socket wiring.

Communication is controlled by anetwork BUS system significantlyreducing slip rings and wiring butgreatly improving the controlfunctionality. So all our control is viaa single 3 core cable – providing asimple control solution with easyfault finding & diagnostics.

All the panels are mounted andfactory wired to motors andinstrumentation with plug andsocket wiring to the main controlpanel for quick, easy assembly atthe customer’s factory.

The machine can be easilyconfigured for clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. A completecarriage can be easily removed andre-connected via plug and socket.

Features Include:• Latest Mitsubishi Q series PLC

with CC-Link BUSCommunications.

• Large industrial 15” colour touchhard screen.

• Intuitive, easy to follow andunderstand menu usinganimated graphics to clearlydisplay real time machine status.

• Ethernet switch/hub forEthernet communications.

• Data logging to compact flashmemory card and analoguemodem. This can also beaccessed by external computer / laptop.

• CC-Link BUS system makes itpossible to change all control & inverter parameters via theHMI touch screen.

• Temperature Control option -software included.

• Air injection option with fullcontrol and feedback vianetwork BUS system.

• New carriage and armpositioning system with controland feedback through thenetwork BUS system.

• Password protection for variousfunctions and levels of control.

• Data acquisition & recipe controlvia the HMI touch screen.

• Manual overrides with safety interlocks included in the software.

STB Engineering Ltd are manufacturers of pneumatic conveying and bulkmaterials handling systems with 40 years experience in materials handlingto the Plastics and Rotational Moulding Industries. We offer a specialistmaterials handling system for accurately dispensing weighed amounts ofpolymers into the actual mould prior to it entering the oven for processing.

An STB handling and dosing system can give significant benefits in factoryperformance through increased production; reduction in material costs,greater quality control, data logging and reduced labour & operating costs.These systems alleviate the need for manual handling of material ladendrums to the oven area for manual tipping into the mould.

Materials are pneumatically conveyed from storage silos, FIBC stations,pulverising system etc, to a weigh hopper which is located adjacent to theoven moulding process. The weigh hopper provides an accurate ‘Loss-in-Weight’ feed system into the mould via a specially designed STB swivelscrew assembly. An advanced control system allows the operator to selectthe mould charge by weight or by selecting a recipe pre-stored in thecontrol system.
