FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Shuttle Machines

1What products can I mold on the SHUTTLE machine?

The SHUTTLE machine is suitable for producing medium and large plastic items such as tanks, garden furniture, or water equipment. With the ability to handle multiple molds in one cycle, it allows manufacturing a variety of components, including industrial containers, toys, and complex-shaped parts, while maintaining consistent product quality.

2For which industries and applications is the SHUTTLE machine intended?

The SHUTTLE machine is used in many industries, including chemical, construction, automotive, recreational, and marine sectors. It is ideal wherever large hollow parts are produced, such as weather-resistant tanks, furniture, or infrastructure elements like road barriers.

3What types of arms does the SHUTTLE machine offer and what are they used for?

The SHUTTLE machine can be equipped with straight, U-shaped, or L-shaped arms. The choice of arm depends on the shape and weight of the molded part. U and L arms provide better stabilization for heavier or elongated molds, while straight arms are suitable for standard applications.

4What does it mean that the SHUTTLE machine has a hybrid power source?

A hybrid power source means the molds can be heated using electricity, gas, or fuel such as heating oil. This provides flexibility in energy selection, reduces heating costs, and ensures production continuity if one energy source is unavailable.

5Why choose the SHUTTLE machine?

The SHUTTLE machine is a modern and versatile solution in rotational molding. It allows production of products of various sizes in a single cycle, providing high flexibility when changing the product range. Energy-efficient components result in low operating costs while maintaining high quality and production safety.

6Can different products be molded simultaneously on one SHUTTLE machine?

Yes. The independent arms of the SHUTTLE machine allow parallel work with different molds. This enables simultaneous molding of various products or parts of different sizes without stopping the entire production line.

7Does OREX provide after-sales service for the SHUTTLE machine?

Yes. OREX provides comprehensive after-sales support including delivery, installation, and full servicing of SHUTTLE machines. A team of specialists assists clients during installation, commissioning, and operation, minimizing downtime risks.

8Does the SHUTTLE allow precise control of process parameters?

Yes. The SHUTTLE machine is equipped with advanced automation and control systems, such as PLC. This allows precise setting of time, temperature, and other process parameters, while the system monitors and maintains set values, ensuring repeatability and high production quality.

9What benefits does rotational molding with the SHUTTLE machine provide?

Rotational molding allows the production of large, seamless parts without joints, increasing their strength. The process generates minimal waste, and molds are cheaper than in injection molding. The SHUTTLE machine further enhances these benefits through production flexibility and high efficiency for medium and large series.
