The problem
A conventional machine heats the entire oven. We heat the mould.
A case study shows that gas-fired rotomoulding achieves a thermal efficiency of around 3.5%, while electric direct mould heating reaches 51%. That difference translates into measurable gains in cycle time, energy use and cost.

Closed-loopprocess control
Direct electric heating.
Moulds with individually controlled heating zones. Closed-loop regulation delivers precise temperature control and a stable process. Result: consistent, controllable wall thickness, a wide process window and high reproducibility.

90%less energy
Up to 90% less energy use.
A case study shows a leap in thermal efficiency from 3.5% to 51%. PPWR, NCPN and CSRD proof. Zero refractory, zero NOx. What you don’t burn you don’t have to emit.
IVThe answer
The next generation of rotomoulding. Fast. Precise. Sustainable.
A compact production cell that brings together speed, precision and sustainability. Direct electric heating and closed-loop process control deliver maximum process control and predictable product quality.

IVWhat we do
Four services, one partner.
One team for engineering, mould-making, machine building and service. We support every step from idea to production.
01
Engineering & Product Development
From sketch to validated product. We get involved early.
02
Mould making
5-axis CNC from solid aluminium. Fully in-house.
03
Machine building
Direct electrically heated rotomoulding machines.
04
Pilot & Service
From test phase to turnkey production. We stay after delivery.
NLOur facility
Under one roof.
Engineering, mould making and machine building with no handoffs. Our NL facility where your mould and your machine are built side by side.
Visit our facilityVIUnder one roof
The only NL-based combination of engineering, mould and machine building.
Design to production in one team. That means short lines, fast support and a single point of contact for the complete system. We deliver a stable production process, products within spec and reliable service.

R&D · Material validation
Beologic NV · Space Shuttle
An R&D mould that targets the hardest features.
For Beologic we developed a rocket-shaped R&D mould to test recycled and multi-layer rotational moulding materials. Threads, kiss-offs and sharp corners are in there on purpose — precisely the features that are hardest to mould. Beologic mills tensile bars and test pieces from the products for lab analysis. So you validate material and process in one run.
