Roto Machines Ltd
Best Oven Efficiency
Our machine efficiency results
in big savings when compared
to the competition:
•
The Roto Machines
Aerodynamically designed oven
with closed loop control can
deliver 30% improvements in
cycle time and 50% energy
savings when compared with
other machines.
•
The Roto Machines
Rotomoulding machine is one of
the most efficient machines on
the market.
•
The Roto Machines
Aerodynamic oven re-circulates
the heat in a closed loop system
and uses less gas.
•
There is no extraction fan and
spent gas is vented by overpressure through a balanced
flue - this ensures that very little
heat is lost.
•
The Roto Machines Oven is
circular (not cubed like others),
with less volume to heat up and
a more efficient Aerodynamic
heat circulation (see sketch).
•
The Roto Machines Oven has
only one opening door. Heat is
retained in the back of the oven
during opening. Most other
Rotomachines have opening
doors each end of the oven
resulting in large loss of heat
when opened.
•
The cycle times are quicker
with the Roto Machines
machine – quicker operation,
less heat loss and less volume
to heat = quicker re-heat.
•
Robust design engineered for
continuous cycle use.
Roto Machines Ltd
Best Control System
No buttons or keyboard, just a large industrial 15” colour touch screen - it’s so easy to use!
Touch a flag to select the language.
Touch the option you want.
Animated graphics showing real-time machine
status.
Oven, Mould & Polymer temperature displayed
in real-time with automated process controls.
Drive balance indication for easy set up.
The Roto Machines control system
is one of the most advanced

upgrades.
All the panels are mounted and
factory wired to motors and
instrumentation with plug and
socket wiring to the main control
panel for quick, easy assembly at
the customer’s factory.
•
Using the latest Industrial based
Mitsubishi Q series PLC and
operator touchscreen it provides
a very robust reliable operating
platform. There is no PC, no crashes,
no re-boots, just industrial PLC
process control reliability.
The system is designed as a
modular construction with plug
and socket wiring.
Communication is controlled by a
network BUS system significantly
reducing slip rings and wiring but
greatly improving the control
functionality. So all our control is via
a single 3 core cable – providing a
simple control solution with easy
fault finding & diagnostics.
The machine can be easily
configured for clockwise or anticlockwise direction. A complete
carriage can be easily removed and
re-connected via plug and socket.
Features Include:
• Latest Mitsubishi Q series PLC
with CC-Link BUS
Communications.
• Large industrial 15” colour touch
hard screen.
• Intuitive, easy to follow and
understand menu using
animated graphics to clearly
display real time machine status.
• Ethernet switch/hub for
Ethernet communications.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Data logging to compact flash
memory card and analogue
modem. This can also be
accessed by external
computer / laptop.
CC-Link BUS system makes it
possible to change all control
& inverter parameters via the
HMI touch screen.
Temperature Control option software included.
Air injection option with full
control and feedback via
network BUS system.
New carriage and arm
positioning system with control
and feedback through the
network BUS system.
Password protection for various
functions and levels of control.
Data acquisition & recipe control
via the HMI touch screen.
Manual overrides with
safety interlocks included in
the software.

Materials Handling Systems for Rotational Moulding
STB Engineering Ltd are manufacturers of pneumatic conveying and bulk
materials handling systems with 40 years experience in materials handling
to the Plastics and Rotational Moulding Industries. We offer a specialist
materials handling system for accurately dispensing weighed amounts of
polymers into the actual mould prior to it entering the oven for processing.
An STB handling and dosing system can give significant benefits in factory
performance 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 laden
drums 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 the
oven moulding process. The weigh hopper provides an accurate ‘Loss-inWeight’ feed system into the mould via a specially designed STB swivel
screw assembly. An advanced control system allows the operator to select
the mould charge by weight or by selecting a recipe pre-stored in the
control system.
