Optimising components for lorries and buses
Trucks and buses have become stylish as well as being durable workhorses. Attractive styling is often easier to achieve with the rounded and textured lines of plastic mouldings. Rotomouldings produced by tecni-form can be made in almost any colour and texture, including exactly matching the colour of the major assembly or vehicle under consideration. If the part does not show, however, recycled plastic can be used that would give a worthwhile cost saving.
Not only is elegant detailing possible but, by using rotational moulding, it can usually be done at lower cost than with other processes because tooling is much cheaper. This makes rotomoulding especially suitable for shorter production runs and for prototyping.
tecni-form have made heater ducts, consoles, tanks, flexible gaiters (boots), seat parts and innumerable fluid reservoirs - to name a few examples. Some contain embedded metal parts such as threads or unions. tecni-form have the edge on most other moulding companies in their well-developed capability to assemble multiple plastic and metal parts completely ready for you to fit. Furthermore they can take complete charge of sourcing the parts for you.
The Possibilities of Rotational Moulding
Maybe you are wondering whether to use plastics more in your area of interest. Have a look at the section of this site describing the full rotational moulding process. You may find something that gives you an idea. If you want to discuss a project, you will find the tecni-form design department are happy to talk to you.
