ROTATIONAL MOULDING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of rotational moulding where a heating structure is incorporated into the mould. Further aspects of the invention relate to a mould for rotational moulding comprising a heating element. In an embodiment, the mould is a pressure vessel for transporting and storing compressed natural gas. The heating element may be incorporated into the pressure vessel, or may be placed in contact with the pressure vessel for the duration of the rotational moulding process.

主权项

1. A method of rotational moulding, the method comprising:
providing a mould and a heating element in contact with the mould; placing a polymer within the mould; heating the mould by activating the heating element to thereby heat the polymer; and moving the mould so as to line an inner surface of said mould with a layer of said polymer, the polymer thereby forming a lining for said mould.
