A customer in the medical and dental industry approached Rhino, Inc. in need of roto-molding of a surpass HDPE chemical tank. The tank was to be used as a component in a cleaning machine which would chemically sanitize surgical and dental tools. We worked closely with the client to fulfill all requirements and expectations. Our in-house design engineer and operations manager gave input as to the modifications necessary to more easily manufacture the part.
We expertly performed roto-molding and mold manufacturing. The manufacturing process involved CNC machining of the aluminum mold in our tooling shop, American Roto Tool. Additionally, we cut and fit three components from a single part.
The material used for the tank was Surpass HDPE. The product, finished with 33 shot peen, was 16.375 inches long, 26.85 inches high, and 19.691 inches wide. It weighed 7 pounds. The temperature range during production was ambient to continuous 150 °F. We worked within tolerances of ±.030 of an inch.
Upon full inspection of the chemical tank, consisting of a water leak test and testing to ensure consistent material flow, we shipped the product to the client. They were completely satisfied with every aspect.
