Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing rotomolded products, and to an installation for carrying out such a method. The method is characterized by the simultaneous use of a plurality of spherical receptacle members, each without a dedicated rotary drive, each of which containing at least one molding die that is suppliable with raw material, and by the simultaneous use of a plurality of processing devices which are operated in a mutually independent manner, each for carrying out at least one of a plurality of production steps, using in each case one of the spherical receptacle members, wherein a plurality of processing devices which are configured as rotating stations are used in a temporally parallel or temporally overlapping manner, and/or wherein a plurality of processing devices which are configured as cooling stations are used in a temporally parallel or temporally overlapping manner, and/or wherein a plurality of processing devices which are configured as supply stations are used in a temporally parallel or temporally overlapping manner, and/or wherein a plurality of processing devices which are configured as retrieval stations are used in a temporally parallel or temporally overlapping manner, and wherein the spherical receptacle member conjointly with the content thereof and without the rotary drive is in each case retrieved from the processing device which has just terminated a processing step, said spherical receptacle member thereafter being fed to a processing device that is immediately vacant for the respective next processing step.
