Hydraulic
tanks provide a number of challenges that require the correct process
and the correct material to produce a tank that is durable yet light-weight
and cost-effective.
Rotational molding is the ideal process for manufacturing hydraulic
tanks because it offers the following advantages:
- Design freedom that maximizes capacity
- Low-cost tooling
- Uniform wall thickness - thickness actually built into corners, where it's often needed the most
- Seamless and leak-free
- Clean with no rust, corrosion, contaminants
- Light-weight
- Resistant to denting and cracking
- Capable of molding in threads, outlets and inserts
- Paintability and post-mold decorating
Liquid Nylon 6 is often the best choice for hydraulic tanks because it allows
for many design features not available with standard rotational molding,
including:
- Baffle walls
- Large metal fittings and inserts
- Sharp corners
