Traditional Student Desk Benefits From New Manufacturing Process

A new product is being introduced into the school furniture market aimed to make school administrators and purchasing managers take notice. The Durable Desk it is called and the traditional wood-and-metal school desk may soon be a thing of the past. The Durable Desk has become a reality through a manufacturing process, called rotomolding.  Though not a new process, it has now been perfected enough to make these desks a durable reality.

The rotational molding process has been around since the mid-1800’s and was used to make items from artillery shells to hollow chocolate candies, but the invention of plastics in the 1950’s set the stage for the creation of a vast number of products we use today.  The process consists of creating a mold into which the plastic is placed and then heated while the mold is constantly turning.  The plastic adheres itself to the mold, the mold is cooled and the product is then separated from the mold.  In the past, the process was wrought with inconsistencies, but the advent of new technology has allowed manufacturers to carefully control the process and the outcome.

Rotational molding has several advantages, all of which benefit school desks.

1. The school desk is now a single piece, so it does not have any joints, welds or screws to wear out or deteriorate.

2. Because of the manufacturing process and inherent design strengths, the desk is much stronger and more durable than traditional desks.  The manufacturer of these desks has tested its strength against strict standards and the desk passed with success.

3. The desk is made of a hard plastic material and needs only occasional cleaning and is highly resistant to the elements making it ideal for use in any environmental condition.

4. The desk is made of a 100% recyclable material, so it is much kinder to the environment, thereby teaching impressionable minds the importance of environmental responsibility.

5. Finally, because of this manufacturing process, the Durable Desk can be produced more cost effectively than traditional desks.

All in all, the Durable Desk seems to be the first real improvement in school desks in the past 50 years.
