Multiaxis rotational molding apparatus (11) includes a plurality of spaced generally horizontally oriented arm members (17-20) each having one end (21) extending from an upstanding frame section (22) with one mold assembly (32-35) rotatably mounted adjacent a free end thereof. Each mold assembly includes a plurality of separable mold sections (36) including plate sections (38). A plurality of movable elongated mixing chambers (47-49), each including a plurality of adjacent axially aligned rotatable driven mixing sections (52-54). A control portion (15) includes an indexing mechanism (67, 68) sequentially orienting a dispenser of each mixing chamber with each mold assembly to control formation of molded structures continuously in a preselected multiaxis molding profile. Also, a method of forming molded structures with the molding apparatus is disclosed.
Multiaxis rotational molding apparatus including a support portion, a molding portion, a mixing portion and a control portion;
A method of continuously forming integrally molded structures in a multiaxis rotational molding operation including the steps of forming a plurality of preselected polymerizable mixtures including mixing liquid reactive resin forming material and particulate solid additive material substantially continuously while tumbling said materials along a generally cylindrical path in a preselected orientation and reversing the direction of said tumbling as said materials advance along said cylindrical path;
