Viscount Rotational Mouldings provides expertise in the manufacture and delivery of custom moulded plastic products

Viscount Rotational Mouldings (VRM) specialises in the manufacture of rotationally moulded plastic goods. From the initial conception of the idea, to design – right through to delivery, VRM strive to make the entire process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Rotational moulding is especially well suited to the production of large, hollow plastic parts. A diverse range of forms of all sizes and dimensions are easily achieved.

Tooling is economical and with VRM’s experience, the process is straightforward. Rotational Moulding offers very competitive advantages over other plastic manufacturing process such as injection moulding and blow moulding include but not limited to:

• Affordable low production runs.
• Rapid mould fabrication – enabling end product delivery sooner.
• Fast, simple de-moulding procedures.
• A multitude of colours are available, while changes of material can be achieved without any waste associated with purging of machinery.
• Material (shot weight) use is optimised for maximum efficiency with minimum waste. A technique such as insulating parts of the mould to prevent the formation of material where it is not required is one such example.
• Low-pressure manufacture reduces moulded in stress, material flow lines, ridges, etc.
• Wall thicknesses are consistently uniform. Wall thickness can be achieved that are thin in comparison to the parts overall size and shape, providing economy of raw material use.
• The process is very flexible allowing for a variety of surface textures, mould in graphics, insert plates, etching and a host of other decoration and markings to be moulded into the part.
• Inserts are an easy addition, saving on secondary operations time and ensuring integral strength of fittings, valves and joins.

Your needs are the driving force in our product development. At VRM, we offer the ability to turn good ideas into great products, utilising the rotational moulding process.

To assist our customers, VRM offers the latest design and moulding technologies with the capability of producing parts that range in size from 2 Litres up to 25,000 Litres. Rotational moulding is an incredibly versatile process. The choice of materials is equally diverse with the entire colour spectrum available.

Cost effective tooling and the ability to produce economical small production runs, gives VRM the means to supply what you need, on time and within budget.

Viscount Rotational Mouldings (VRM) continues on its path of innovation with the introduction of the new P5 – 800 Pit. Complementing the range of VRM’s infrastructure pits with an increased depth capacity enabling deeper conduit to be protected without the need of an additional collar.

Made from UV stabilised Black Polyethylene the P5 – 800 Pit is both durable and lightweight.

The new pit is compatible with VRM’s standard P5 lid.
For more information on the P5 – 800 Pit or any other of the VRM range please contact the VRM team!

A Victorian first – the use of polyethylene noise abatement panels along Peninsular Link.

Viscount Rotational Mouldings (VRM) is manufacturing the innovative new sound wall panels for the Peninsula Link project. The sound wall panels have a host of advantages:

• Endless design possibilities
• Environmental benefits
• Graffiti resistant
• Easy to maintain
• Light weight and safe to install
• Excellent acoustic properties
• Freight economies

Viscount’s Detector Pit and Lids

Detector Pit:

VRM’s Detector Pits are manufactured from strong UV stabilised black Polyethylene.

They provide an alternative to expensive, heavy and fragile, concrete cable housing.

Plastic Resin Lockable & Nonlockable Lid

Manufactured out of high density polyethylene, the plastic detector pit lid is available both as lockable and nonlockable.

The lockable lid comes with a bolt mechanism to secure the lid to the pit. Both lockable and nonlockable lids are tethered to the pit.

Cast Iron Lid:

VRM provides the full service; pits and lids included, ensuring a perfect fit and assembly every time. The Detector Pits’ Cast Iron Lids are manufactured from high strength, ductile iron grade 600-3 to AS1831, enabling lightweight construction while maintaining maximum strength and integrity.

• VicRoads approved (#PA 030 264)
• Class B 80kN load rated to AS3996:2006
• Non-slip surface.
• Blends in to surrounding environment.
• Nameplate options available
• 300mm galvanized chain for tethering lid to pit

Designed to satisfy the electrical, drainage and rail markets

The 600mm X 600mm X 900mm Pit is designed to satisfy the electrical, drainage and rail markets. Manufactured from UV stabilised black Polyethylene, this Pit is both durable and lightweight.

VRM’s 600’ Pit is designed to be used with a Class B galvanised steel lid or grate. The Pit can accommodate two pipes of 100mm diameter, with a belmouth fitting, passing through the lower portion of the sidewall. Also a 150mm diameter pipe can be used in the top section of the Pit in between the ribbing. The height of the Pit can be reduced utilising the two cutting guides in the lower section.

The height of the Pit can also be increased, by using the top half of an additional Pit to create an extension collar. That will then be fitted on top of the original Pit.

AUSGROUP and ABIGROUP acknowledged the hard work and contribution that Viscount Rotational Mouldings’ (VRM) team has made to Peninsula Link’s Noise Wall project with brekkie for all.

The Noise Wall, which is being manufactured by VRM, is being installed along the new 27 kilometre Peninsula Link, (the new road that runs from Eastlink in Carrum Downs to Mount Martha) ensuring that noise pollution is kept to required standards.

Approximately 5,000 Noise Wall panels have been and will be manufactured for the project.

VRM’s water tanks

Viscount Rotational Mouldings’ manufacturing plant in Carrum Downs is now capturing storm water and using it for the flushing of toilets onsite.

Prior to the installation of rainwater tanks the factory was using approximately 3,500 Litres of mains water per day, an average of 47 Litres per individual.

Due to the introduction of the rainwater tank storage system, usage of mains water has dropped to 451 Litres (just over six Litres per person, per day).

Every day an average of 3,049 Litres is saved from mains water usage.

Viscount Rotational Moulding floatation range is expanding. The additional products are featured in the re-released ‘flotation systems catalogue.’
