New Rotoline rotomolder boasts an enclosed oven

TNC 30 Rotoline's new automated rotomolding machine can use different colors and materials in each layer of the large, closed, multilayer tanks it makes. Unlike the open-flame rotomolding machines often used in the manufacture of such tanks, the TNC 30 features a completely enclosed oven.  

What's new? The machine, which has been on the market a couple of months.

Benefits Large-scale, safe production of tanks. The new machine has no exposed heating elements and requires very little operator involvement. Compared to open-flame machines, it consumes less gas and produces tanks that require less time to cool. It can produce one tank every 2.35 minutes, or about 12,000-14,000 tanks every 22 days — an output that would require 10-12 open-flame machines and as many operators.
