Rotomolded Cooler Market Overview

Product Definition

Rotomolded Coolers are the core hubs connecting storage and transportation in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry chain. Their main function is to convert cryogenic liquid LNG (storage temperature approximately -162°C) into gaseous natural gas (NG) through specific processes. After adjusting the pressure and temperature according to downstream demand, they are then transported to city gas networks, industrial users, or power plants. They also undertake LNG receiving, storage, and metering tasks, making them a crucial link in ensuring a stable natural gas supply. Their existence resolves the contradiction between the convenience of long-distance LNG transportation and storage and the downstream demand for gaseous LNG, thus occupying an important position in the global natural gas trade and energy supply system.

Working Principle

The working principle of a rotational molding cooler relies on an internal insulation layer to insulate against external heat, maintaining a low internal temperature for an extended period. Typically, rotational molding coolers employ a three-layer structure: an outer shell, a foamed insulation layer, and an inner liner. The outer shell is made of high-density linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), offering UV resistance and impact resistance. The middle layer uses polyurethane (PU) or other closed-cell foam materials to form an insulation layer, significantly reducing heat conduction. The inner liner is made of food-grade polyethylene to ensure the safety of the contents. Heat is absorbed by ice cubes, ice packs, or refrigerant, maintaining the internal temperature for tens of hours or even days.

Production Process

The rotational molding process is the core of the rotational molding cooler. This process typically involves four steps: feeding, heating, cooling, and demolding. First, a measured amount of plastic powder is added to a metal mold. After the mold is sealed, it is continuously rotated horizontally and vertically in a heating furnace, causing the plastic powder to melt and evenly cover the inner wall of the mold. The mold then enters the cooling stage, gradually cooling and solidifying through air or water cooling. Finally, the mold is opened to obtain the finished product. This process eliminates the need for high-pressure injection or complex mold runners, enabling the manufacture of products with intricate structures, uniform wall thickness, seamless construction, and exceptional durability.

Advantages and Features

Compared to injection molding cooling boxes, rotational molding coolers offer advantages such as higher overall strength, better impact resistance, no leakage due to seam cracking, and the ability to withstand extreme temperature differences and outdoor environments. The thickness of its foamed insulation layer can be adjusted according to application, achieving longer-lasting cooling performance. Furthermore, rotational molding supports customized designs, allowing for the one-piece molding of handles, hinges, drain outlets, and cup holders, improving product integrity and sealing.

Application

In practical applications, rotomolded coolers are found in a wide range of fields. In recreational settings such as outdoor camping and fishing, they can maintain the freshness and low temperature of drinking water and food for extended periods, providing a cooling supply for outdoor activities. In the food processing and cold chain transportation industry, they can be used for short-distance transport of fresh fruits and vegetables and frozen foods, preventing spoilage due to temperature increases during transportation. In industrial production, they are commonly used to cool equipment parts, store low-temperature raw materials, or recycle industrial waste ice; some chemically resistant models can also be used to store low-temperature chemical reagents. In the medical field, they can be used as small cold chain equipment to temporarily store medical supplies requiring low-temperature preservation, such as vaccines and blood samples, ensuring quality stability during transportation. In addition, in special scenarios such as disaster relief and field exploration, rotomolded coolers can provide low-temperature drinking water and food storage for personnel, becoming an important piece of equipment for ensuring logistical supply.

Rotomolded Coolers Industry Chain, Industry Policies, Development Trends and Barriers to Entry

Industrial Chain

The upstream supply chain for rotomolded coolers mainly includes polyethylene (PE) raw material suppliers, foaming agent and insulation material manufacturers, and mold manufacturing companies. Representative upstream companies include ExxonMobil, BASF, SABIC, DuPont, and LyondellBasell, which provide high-density polyethylene and insulation materials for rotomolded coolers. Downstream, major customer groups include outdoor equipment brands, cold chain transportation companies, and pharmaceutical and food logistics companies. Representative companies include YETI, Pelican, RTIC, Igloo, and Coleman. Downstream applications are concentrated in outdoor camping, fishing and hunting, military equipment, and pharmaceutical and vaccine transportation, with demand for outdoor consumer products growing the fastest, driving the market expansion from industrial applications to the consumer end.

Industry Policies

Regarding industry policies, many regions globally are promoting energy conservation, environmental protection, and the application of recyclable materials. China's "14th Five-Year Plan Action Plan for Plastic Pollution Control" explicitly encourages green manufacturing and recycling of plastic products. European and American countries, through the Green Product Design Directive and the Plastic Packaging Recyclable Standard, promote the adoption of renewable raw materials and environmentally friendly processes by enterprises. Furthermore, some regions have imposed requirements on insulation performance and food safety standards for cold chain transportation equipment, such as the US FDA and EU EN 12546 certification systems, indirectly driving the technological upgrade of rotational molding coolers.

Development Trends

Industry development trends are characterized by lightweighting, modularization, and multi-functionality. With the expansion of the outdoor leisure industry and cold chain logistics, market demand for impact-resistant, leak-proof, and long-lasting cold-insulating products is rapidly increasing.
