Caring for pets & livestock
tecni-form have picked this market sector to demonstrate how rotationally moulded plastic components are often used in association with animals - not just domestic pets, but also livestock and animals with a living to earn. All animals need to be fed, watered and housed - and some need to be cleaned, disinfected, de-bugged, exercised, restrained and even entertained.
Plastics for feeding & watering
An obvious use for rotationally moulded hollow plastic containers is as tanks and plastic containers for food and water. So you will find rotomoulded feed tanks, drinking troughs, mangers, fish food containers and fish tubs. Rotational moulding is also used to manufacture sheep dipping tanks.
Rotationally moulded plastics for exercising & housing animals
Rotationally moulded plastic components are used to make animal housing, for example calf shelters, hutches and kennels. Hollow plastic components can be assembled with hooks, locks and clips to achieve the finished product. Rotomoulding is also used to manufacture plastic show-jump blocks, squeaky toys for dogs, and even casings for sheep shears.
The possibilities of rotational moulding
The possibilities are endless. You may get some ideas for your area of interest if you have a look at their section describing the full rotational moulding process.
