LightManufacturing is a company innovating in sustainable plastic moulding with its Solar Rotational Moulding (SRM) process. Unlike traditional methods that heat moulds with fossil fuels, SRM uses a system of mirrors (heliostats) to concentrate sunlight. This process significantly reduces the environmental impact of plastic production.
Editor Rebekah Jordan spoke to LightManufacturing’s CEO Karl von Kries to learn more about the company’s SRM systems that can achieve even heat distribution through a combination of mould rotation and controlled heating during sunlight hours. The interview also delves into the technology’s high level of automation, which allows for precise temperature control and consistent part quality.
