Rosti installs Roctool technology in China
Roctool (Euronext Growth - FR0010523167 - ALROC), specialists in molding technologies, was selected by Rosti, the
European headquartered technology led plastic moulding company and contract manufacturer, to offer major CO² reductions
with the installation of Roctool technology in their manufacturing processes.
Rosti sits at the centre of the supply chain and has a duty and an opportunity to make a positive environmental impact
on the plastics industry. After more than 1 year investigating the Roctool technology, Rosti installed its first
Roctool technology system in the China facility which also has one of the 3 Innovation Labs worldwide. The adoption
will allow up to 40% CO² reduction due to the patented heating and cooling processes.
Roctool's patented technology consists of quickly heating the tool surface by induction and cooling the tool also
rapidly with water cooling channels. With this new technology and capability, Rosti can offer key advantages to its
customers such as aesthetic, design and process improvements whilst also meeting commitments to reduce the carbon
emissions at the plant.
Rosti is a global technology led plastic injection moulding company and contract manufacturer to some of the world's
leading manufacturers in the packaging, consumer appliances, business machines and medical sectors. Founded in 1944
with headquarters in Malmö, Sweden, the Group has 3,200 existing employees across 9 facilities in Europe and Asia, with
the operations in Malaysia recently awarded Platinum by the Responsible Business Alliance.
"The rapid induction heating from Roctool, adapted to injection moulding, will increase our capabilities to deliver a
breakthrough in sustainability solutions" says Pat Williams, Senior Vice President Asia "Rosti is already working on
new customer applications where the Roctool process will be fully exploited as part of our 6R Sustainability
Commitment."
One of the key advantages of the Roctool system is the proven ability to mould plastic parts with no surface defects
and as a result avoid secondary operations which are CO² consuming. Avoiding secondary operation and still offering a
premium surface finish is becoming a trend in the industry in search of sustainability solutions.
For decades, Rosti has provided industry-leading injection moulding services, and continues to develop and invest in
cutting-edge technologies. Rosti capabilities include in-mould labelling and decoration, multi-k injection moulding,
liquid silicone rubber, injection blow moulding, clean room production and more.
Recent studies show a comparison between a painted part moulded conventionally and a Roctool part without any secondary
operation with the CO² savings attained at more than 40%. This CO² reduction becomes even more dramatic when combining
Roctool technology for top surface quality and recycled resins: in this case the CO² reduction can reach more than 80%.
Roctool technology can be used for many plastic applications including beauty packaging, consumer products, appliances,
automotive, industrial.
