大多数塑料水箱是通过称为滚塑成型的过程制成的。 艺术、科学和看似神奇的混合物被用来将小塑料颗粒变成一个功能性的密封水箱。 您首先需要一个模具，钢或铝，以获得更好的传热，一个含有原材料和稳定剂的合适塑料混合物，以及一个非常大的烤箱。 将塑料颗粒研磨成细粉，精确测量出19kg，制成350L的Aquacomb罐，并倒入铝模具的一半中。 它用螺栓固定并连接到大型 3 轴旋转臂上。 模具在大烤箱内花费近一个小时缓慢旋转和旋转，使内部的塑料粉末融化成浓稠的液体并覆盖整个模具内部。 我们使用聚乙烯，因为它的特性非常适合长期储水（非反应性、强韧、柔韧性、非浸出）。 当模具从烤箱中取出时，它继续旋转 20 分钟左右，同时里面新生的水箱冷却下来。 然后我们可以将其移除并使其完全冷却，在该阶段我们对储罐进行压力测试，以确保它可以承受非常高的压力，并检查是否有任何缺陷。 然后，我们使用改进的超声波机器检查罐壁的厚度，并为其提供序列号以实现完整的可追溯性。 新水箱现在可以送上路，以帮助一位幸运的房主节水！ 在下面的幕后制造视频中亲自查看此过程！ 了解有关 Aquacomb 的更多信息
Most plastic water tanks are made through a process called rotational moulding. A mixture of art, science and seemingly magic is used to turn little pellets of plastic into a functional airtight water tank. You first need a mould, either steel or aluminium for better heat transfer, a suitable plastic mixture containing raw material and

世界各地的水资源短缺、限制和极端天气事件 最近，我们的新闻头条包括限制、稀缺、干旱和洪水等术语。 欧洲正面临至少 500 年来最严重的干旱（Blenkinsop，2022 年）， 非洲大陆三分之二的地区处于警戒或警告状态，减少了内河航运、电力生产和某些作物的产量（Whitt & Imster，2022 年）。 7月底，超过43%的美国地区处于干旱状态 （Ellerbeck，2022） . 美国最大的两个水库 – 米德湖和鲍威尔湖，为数百万人提供水和电，有达到“死侍”状态的危险。 如果达到“死侍”状态，这将意味着大坝的水位非常低，水不能再流向下游并为水力发电站供电。 （联合国，2022年）. 内华达州南部水务局估计内华达州南部只剩下8年的水资源储备 （守夜，2022 年）。 中国整个夏天都在打破高温记录，其最大的淡水湖鄱阳湖正在干涸，世界第三大长江正在枯萎，拥有 4.5 亿人口和中国 1/3 的农作物（Whitt & Imster，2022）。 肯尼亚、索马里和埃塞俄比亚四年来的降雨失败使非洲之角面临灾难。 根据联合国世界粮食计划署（WFP）的一份报告，到9月，干旱使2200万人面临饥饿的风险。 该地区正在经历40年来最严重的干旱状况，看不到尽头 （惠特和伊姆斯特，2022 年）。 Water Scarcity During Driest Month 图片来源： 缺水时钟 最重要的是，2022年干旱将削弱世界许多地区。 根据联合国环境规划署（UNEP）的数据，在过去20年中，90%的重大灾害是由洪水，干旱和其他与水有关的事件引起的。 （联合国，2022 年）。 “我们正处于十字路口”，联合国防治荒漠化公约执行秘书易卜拉欣·蒂奥（Ibrahim Thiaw）说。 “我们需要转向解决方案，而不是继续采取破坏性行动，相信边际变化可以治愈系统性失败。 （埃勒贝克，2022 年）。 在新西兰很容易沾沾自喜，因为这些国际头条新闻出现在我们的冬季和频繁的降雨中。 很容易忘记 2021 年是有记录以来最热的一年，奥克兰从 2020 年
