- It is ideal for use in myriad harsh or extreme conditions, such as high temperature environments or applications with significant chemical exposure.
- The continuous rubber extrusion process can produce parts in a variety of lengths and shapes relatively cost-effectively and with very little material waste.
- It solves challenges for our extrusion customers from part development and manufacture, to polymer selection, through meeting end customer requirements.
Rubber extrusion is a process used to manufacture rubber products. The process uses an extrusion machine to force synthetic or natural rubber material through a shaped die under high pressure. The material used is typically soft, un-vulcanised rubber. The process shapes the workpiece in a soft, pliable state, after which it is vulcanised to harden the workpiece into a usable final product.
A rubber extruder machine is composed of two primary parts. A heated shearing screw pushes the raw material along a conveyor as compounds are fed into the extruder. As the material moves along the conveyor, it is heated and softened to make it pliable. The softened material is pressurised by the shearing screw and forced into the die where it takes its final shape.
Extruded Rubber Profiles
SYNTHETIC RUBBER PRODUCTS rubber extrusion, the term profile refers to the shape of the extruded rubber product or the cross-section of the die used. Extruded profiles can be as simple as a "U" shape or highly complex, multifaceted shapes with intricate details. Extruded rubber profiles include:
- D-, e-, J-, L-, P-, and T-shaped profiles
- U channels
- Half-round profiles
- Round cord
- Squares
- Rectangles
It is used in a variety of industries and applications to protect from extreme weather, drown out noise, and more. Extruded rubber seals can be manufactured in a variety of shapes, including:
- Squares
- Cord
- Custom hollow shapes
- Rubber tubing
- Locking gaskets
- Rubber edge trim
- Trim seals
