Advanced rotomolding for large-format parts: the importance of release systems in Rock and Roll machines.

The rotomolding sector continues to evolve towards increasingly efficient processes, especially in the manufacturing of technical parts, tanks, urban furniture, nautical components, or large-volume industrial elements. Within these processes, the well-known Rock and Roll machines remain a highly used solution when working with large parts or complex geometries.

In this context, one of the most important factors for optimizing production, surface finish, and mold durability is the use of suitable release solutions for rotomolding.

At Clades Composites we work with different technical solutions for the industrial rotomolding sector, including specific products for demanding processes and continuous production cycles. Within these applications, the systems from the Ababol range help improve part release, reduce mold residue, and increase process stability even under high abrasion or temperature conditions.

Our experience in the technical consultancy of multiple projects related to the rotomolding sector allows us to ensure that, in order to maximize process efficiency and stability, it is highly recommended to work with the complete mold preparation and maintenance cycle: cleaner, sealer, and release agent. The correct combination of these solutions helps improve surface finish, optimize manufacturing cycles, reduce mold buildup, and minimize release issues.

Additionally, our water-based release agent range is especially effective in rotomolding processes and Rock and Roll machines, where the process temperature itself promotes the controlled evaporation of the water used as a carrier. This allows the formation of a uniform and homogeneous release film, enabling clean applications, fast drying, and efficient part release.

Water-based solutions also provide additional advantages such as cleaner application, lower waste generation, and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC), aspects increasingly valued in modern industrial processes.

Rock and Roll machines have specific technical characteristics due to their biaxial movement and the type of parts manufactured. Therefore, correctly selecting each stage of mold treatment can help reduce surface defects, improve final part finish, decrease mold cleaning times, optimize production cycles, and increase mold service life.

In sectors such as nautical, tanks, furniture, agriculture, automotive and industrial solutions, Rock and Roll rotomolding continues to be a highly efficient system for certain geometries and part sizes, where process stability makes the difference in profitability and final quality.

At Clades Composites, we collaborate with manufacturers and processors, providing technical solutions for composites and rotomolding adapted to every production need.
