Contract Moulding

Contract Moulding is a division of Francis Ward Limited that solely specialises in Contract Rotational Moulding.

 

Contract Moulding may be the new name in the rotational moulding industry, however through the parent company of Francis Ward there is over 50 years of in-depth expertise in Rotational Moulding. Such expertise has led Francis Ward to become the leader in the challenging process of rotational moulded Intermediate Bulk Containers for hazardous substances.

 

Rotational moulding (often referred to as Rotamoulding or Rotomoulding) is a process ideal for producing hollow plastic products, such as tanks, containers, garden furniture and sporting products. By using additional post-moulding operations, complex components can be produced - the list of goods made can be endless!

 

Just a few of our successful contract moulding partnerships

 

Why Rotational Mould

  • Cheap tooling costs in comparison to injection and blow moulding
  • Low investment costs for low volume products allows for quick entry into market
  • Process provides uniform wall thickness, even at corners and with defined angles
  • It is a stress free, low-pressure process, that produces strong and durable products. In comparison, blow moulded stretches the plastic resulting in finished goods with built in stresses acting as weak points
  • Wide range of materials to select from to give product optimum resistance to liquids, solids, chemicals and weather conditions
  • Special moulded-in features - screw threads, metal inserts, logos and strengthening ribs can all be incorporated in to the design

 

 

Why Contract Moulding

  • Parent company, Francis Ward is held in high respect for over 50 years expert rotational moulding service
  • Proven track record of working in challenging markets
  • Machine capacity to manufacture up 3.5m long products
  • Have multiple vertical carousel machines that make it cost effective to produce small sized products.
  • BSI EN 9001:2008 accredited
  • Internal design with SolidWorks™ to manage projects and give 3D visualisation.
  • Agreement to work with Rota Design - Specialists in the field. Will also create 3D models from designs in resin.
  • Strong relationships with leading Polymer Suppliers
  • Extensive experience of testing and quality checking for compliance with UN hazardous transport regulations, that goes beyond BSI accreditation.
  • Have internal metal welding and fabrication when required for finished products.
