Everything you need to know about Rubber Moulding Machine

Rubber moulding machines are synonymous with innovation and excellent performance. These state-of-the-art machines, which are preferred by the best in the industry, are designed using the latest CADD technology to ensure the highest levels of accuracy, efficiency and precision. This rubber moulding process uses a preformed piece of uncoated rubber that is placed in an open mould cavity. The mould is heated to a high temperature. When the mould is closed, the material is compressed and the rubber flows to fill the mould cavity. The combination of high pressure and elevated temperature activates the hardening of the rubber compound, also known as vulcanization. The optimum level of hardening is reached, the part hardens and cools, and then the mould is opened and partially removed. The cycle is repeated with another rubber blank inserted into the rubber mould.

Rubber moulding machines provide an ideal process for the production of small to medium volume rubber products. This rubber moulding process can produce a variety of precision rubber moulding components. Allows economical production of large, complex products. It is often used in the manufacture of environmentally friendly sealing products such as rubber O-rings, seals and gaskets. The process of a rubber moulding machine uses pressure and heat to fill a mould cavity, a rigid frame, also known as a die. The raw material, usually a potassium material such as plastic, glass, or ceramic, is compressed until it hardens or vulcanizes (i.e., begins to harden). The advantages of rubber moulding machines are greater accuracy, versatility and efficiency.
