Sustainable Precision

Astronaut develops and produces fully automated production cells for the rotomoulding industry. High-precision rotomoulding with directly electrically heated moulds offers full control over temperature and cycle times. Thanks to the ability to selectively heat specific zones of the mould, material waste is minimized and energy efficiency maximized. This technique is ideally suited for producing complex, high-quality parts where tight tolerances and reproducibility are crucial.

Advantages of electric rotomoulding with Astronaut Machines

  • The full electric system consumes less energy.
  • Direct electric heating reduces wasted energy.

  • Electric heating elements and direct feedback offer accurate control of process parameters.

  • Consistent quality and -control reduces scrap rates.

  • Locally emission-free.

  • No open flames and safer working environment.

  • Reduced energy use and less maintenance compared to gas-heated systems.

  • Fewer consumables (no burners).

  • Independent control of heating zones.

  • Independent control of biaxial rotations.

  • More stable temperature regulation (standard up to 250°C).

  • Suitable for high performance polymers, such as bio-based PA11.

  • Easy integration with automation and control systems, data logging, and predictive maintenance.

  • Remote monitoring and quick response to process deviations.

  • Lower carbon footprint due to energy efficiency.

  • Better suited for clean production environments.

  • Suitable for higher percentage recycled contents.
