A rotational molding oven for forming an object from a mold. The oven includes a cavity for retaining the mold, a burner for heating the cavity and melting the resin and a device for rocking the mold between - 45 DEG and 45 DEG from a horizontal plane. The rocking device is outside, extending into the cavity, maintaining the mold in the center of the cavity. The rocking device facilitates distribution of resin within the mold and improves thermal flow of heat within the cavity thereby increasing thermal efficiency and minimizing the size of the cavity. The rocking device includes a first track outside the cavity, a carriage assembly, a drive assembly connected to the carriage assembly and a guide assembly connected between the first track and carriage assembly for translating up and down the first track, causing the carriage assembly to move therewith and the mold to rock about the central axis of the cavity. The carriage assembly is positioned below the guide assembly at all points during translational movement. The drive assembly includes a spindle bearing connected to the carriage assembly and a spindle arm extending from the spindle bearing and through a side of the cavity for releasably connecting to the mold for rotating the mold through multiple complete 360 DEG rotations in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. A cooling system consisting of exhaust fan, air intake damper and water spray is positioned in the cavity for cooling the mold containing the melted resin.
