CF-2A-1000 Dual-Head Open-Flame Rotomolding Machine Installed in Fiji for Chemical Drum Production

In October 2026, Changzhou Yingchuang Rotomolding Equipment Co., Ltd. successfully completed the on-site installation and commissioning of a CF-2A-1000 dual-head open-flame rotomolding machine at a customer facility in Fiji. The machine was customized for the production of plastic chemical drums and barrels — marking Yingchuang Rotomolding's first successful installation in the Pacific Islands region.

The Fijian customer is a local packaging and plastic products company serving the chemical, agricultural, and fishing industries across Fiji and the broader Pacific region. Previously, the customer relied on imported plastic drums and containers for their packaging needs. With rising logistics costs and growing local demand for reliable industrial packaging solutions, the customer decided to bring chemical drum production in-house.

After researching rotomolding machine options, the customer selected the Yingchuang CF-2A-1000 dual-head open-flame rotomolding machine for its compact footprint, dual-head production capacity, and cost-effective open-flame heating system — making it the ideal entry-level solution for starting local chemical drum manufacturing in Fiji.

The CF-2A-1000 is a compact, dual-station open-flame rotomolding machine designed for medium-sized hollow plastic products. It is particularly well-suited for producing plastic drums, barrels, jerrycans, and similar packaging containers — offering high output efficiency in a space-saving design.

Key advantages for chemical drum production:

• Dual-head configuration: Two mold positions operate simultaneously, effectively doubling production output compared to single-head machines — ideal for high-volume drum manufacturing.
• Open-flame direct heating: Compact and cost-effective heating solution with fast heat-up times, perfect for standard-sized drums and barrels.
• Compact footprint: The machine's space-saving design fits comfortably in smaller workshops, making it accessible for customers with limited factory space.
• PLC control system: Fully automatic control with adjustable rotation speeds, ensuring consistent wall thickness and reliable repeatable production quality.
• Easy operation: Straightforward setup and operation make it suitable for teams new to rotomolding, with minimal training required.

One of the key reasons the Fiji customer chose the CF-2A-1000 is its dual-head design. Unlike traditional single-head rotomolding machines that produce one part at a time, the CF-2A-1000 features two independent mold arms on a single base frame, allowing two chemical drums to be molded simultaneously.

This design delivers significant practical benefits:

• Higher production output: Two drums per cycle effectively doubles daily output compared to a single-head machine, enabling the customer to meet local demand more quickly.
• Cost efficiency: A dual-head machine costs less than purchasing two separate single-head machines, while sharing the same control system and footprint.
• Flexible production: The two heads can run the same mold for maximum output, or different molds to produce multiple drum sizes on the same machine.
• Consistent quality: Both heads use the same heating and rotation system, ensuring uniform wall thickness and quality across all produced drums.

Yingchuang Rotomolding provided complete international installation support for the CF-2A-1000 dual-head open-flame rotomolding machine, from equipment shipment and ocean freight through customs clearance and on-site commissioning.

Despite the long-distance logistics to a Pacific island nation, our engineering team managed the installation efficiently, working closely with the local customer to verify foundation preparation, gas supply connections, and electrical requirements before the equipment arrived. On-site mechanical assembly, gas system setup, electrical wiring, and operator training were completed within the scheduled timeframe.

The CF-2A-1000 is now fully operational at the Fijian customer's facility, producing high-quality plastic chemical drums for local and regional markets — a successful milestone in Yingchuang Rotomolding's expansion into the Pacific Islands.
