The Shuttle rotational molding machine series work with a central oven, two stations and two carts with straight or offset arms. Composed by two cooling stations, it offers a special ratio of productivity/economy, as well as, advantages of easy mold changing and the option of working with one or two stations.
It is indicated for manufacturing different products, and allows the use of different molds at the same time, producing with different times and recipes on each cicle. With Shuttle machines, some accessories can be added, such as, the gas flow meter. It works integrated with the machine's control software, providing gas consumption records by cycle, by number of parts produced and by weight of material processed.

Composed by three support bases (chassis), one for each station (cart) and the third for the central oven, which has an exclusive horizontal cylindrical shape, with a diameter up to 5 meters. Made of treated carbon steel, it is equipped with a recirculation fan with start and speed control by variable frequency drive, recirculation duct and burner. Both carts have a “Central” arm (STRAIGHT) or a “C” type arm (OFFSET) option. Each has three gearmotors, in addition to a double cooling system and variable frequency drives.
The machine is equipped with a Main Panel where all electromechanical and programmable components are installed and connected. It also has two individual control podiums for each station, giving the operator three control and operation places. All panel connections to the field devices are made using quick plugs (plug and play), reducing the time needed for installation. It also has a complete electrical design, easy to interpret, enabling quick checks and agility in maintenance.
The machine's Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is loaded with a software management control system which gathers information from multiple sensors such as temperature and pressure, installed in various parts of machine, doing all the interlock and control functions of machine operation and providing a specific an concise input to controller of the gas burner.
See below a small sample of the variety of products that can be manufactured by the rotational molding process.

The Shuttle machine has 2 carts that can be equipped with a straight arm or an "C" offset arm, both build with a reinforced structure, heat treated to release the steel stress.
The cooling, load and unload stations allows the Shuttle machine to work simultaneously in two stations at the same time, with different recipes and molds.
