On Monday 2nd of March 2026 493K are proud to present a workshop in association with ARMSA:

Spin into Control

with 493K’s Dr. Gareth McDowell

at Plastics SA, Midrand Auditorium

With a quarter of a century of rotational moulding expertise, Dr. Gareth’s seminar will ensure you leave in a spin – understanding more of the theory behind good rotomoulding and knowing how to put it into practice.

With LIVE demonstrations on 493K’s benchtop machine, you will experience a deeper insight into;

1. Materials – Variety is the spice of life
2. Quality – A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link
3. Moulds – The shape of things to come
4. Machinery Types – What do you drive, a Fiesta or a Ferrari?
5. Rotations – The world keeps on spinning
6. Temperature – If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
7. Release agent – Avoiding sticky situations
8. Flanges – Cleanliness is next to Godliness
9. Vent tubes – The importance of breath work
10. Multi-layers – The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts
