The invention relates to a method for operating a rotational molding apparatus that comprises a rotatably mounted rotational-molding mold holder having a rotational-molding mold. The method is characterised in that a trajectory of a reference point of a component for a rotation process, in particular a component of the rotational-molding mold holder or the rotational-molding mold, which component rotates during a rotation process, is selected from one of a plurality of possible trajectories that can be achieved by the rotational molding apparatus, and in that a rotation process is subsequently performed in which rotational-molding material introduced into the rotational-molding mold accumulates on the inner face of the rotational-molding mold and in which the reference point moves along the determined trajectory.

A cavity mold comprises two or more sub-molds; and one or more gasket disposed between two adjacent sub-molds; wherein the gasket seals heating and cooling mediums when the cavity mold is assembled; wherein each of the two or more sub-molds comprises an outer casing; an inner casing on which a molded item is formed, wherein the cavity mold is assembled, a cavity is formed in the space between the outer casing and the inner casing; at least one heating/cooling mediums input pipe that is fluidly coupled with heating and cooling medium sources and the cavity, wherein heating and cooling mediums are pumped or compressed via the at least one heating/cooling mediums input pipe into the cavity, thereby the heating and cooling mediums pass through the cavity of the cavity mold; and at least one heating/cooling mediums return pipe that is fluidly coupled with the heating and cooling medium sources and the cavity, wherein the heating and cooling mediums are pumped via the at least one heating/cooling mediums return pipe out of the cavity; and wherein at least one of the two or more sub-molds further comprises a feed channel being through the outer casing and the inner casing; wherein the feed channel allows molding materials to be fed into the inside of the inner casing. A cavity mold system employs the cavity mold.

Rotational moulding system configured for determining at least one suitable temperature-time program and at least one suitable motion-time program for the rotational moulding of an object by means of the rotational moulding system on the basis of a predetermined rotational moulding thermal characteristic of a raw material to be used for the rotational moulding of the object. Computer-implemented method for using the rotational moulding system.

A Molded Air Intake System and Method for Internal Combustion Engines. The method of the present invention permits the single-shot molding of an air intake system, such as by roto-molding. The resultant air intake system has an internal pipe element and an external element, both of which are formed with superior molding tolerances. The internal pipe element is defined by an inner mold form that is insertable and removable from an external mold form. The final molded part defines an outer wall and an inner wall and an MAFS mounting pad having inner and outer apertures formed therethrough.

A single layer solar rotational molded article prepared from a blend of (a) from 1 wt % to 99 wt % based on the weight of the blend, of at least one of a first composition and a second composition, each comprising a melt flow index of from 0.05 g/10 mins. to 20 g/10 mins. and (b) from 1 wt % to 99 wt % based on the weight of the blend, of a third composition comprising a melt index of 0.05 g/10 mins. to 20.0 g/10 mins. In an exemplary embodiment, the first composition is a powder resin, the second composition is a binder resin, and the third composition is a recycled material in the form of polyolefin containing waste. The blend can include an additive such as, for example, pigments and colorants, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, anti-static agents, flame retardants, textured material, the like, or any combination thereof.
