2. Manufacturing Rubber Parts

Injection Molding Rubber Parts

A modified version of the plastics manufacturing process of rubber parts is called rubber injection molding.

Process Of Injection Molding Rubber Parts

• Prepare the materials.
• Use a screw feeder system to put uncured rubber in the machine, in this process no performance is required.
• Bring in as much material as possible for the mold with screw feeder to eliminate uncertainties thus production of material waste.
• Heat the rubber and move it to the barrel for pliability and then push it into the runner system.
• Curing process starts when material begins to fill the mold cavities.
• After you complete the curing process, remove the components and create room for the incoming materials.

Rubber Extrusion Components

Is a process of forcing parts and soft, unvulcanized rubber compounds under pressure from an extruder through the die of the cross section.

Process Of Extruding Rubber Components

• Decide the appropriate extrusion either hot or cold.
• To the hopper, feed the unvulcanized rubber.
• Send the rubber through the bottom of the hopper and onto the conveyor by gravity.
• Heat and pressure is created by a screw while conveyor moves the rubber to the die.
• At the end of the conveyor, pass the softened rubber through the opening of the die.
• The rubber begins to take shape inside the die.
• Complete component shape of the rubber passes through the die.
• Decide the best post-processing methods for the component e.g. vulcanization, dusting, drilling, coiling etc.

Compression Molding Rubber Parts

Roughly shaped preforms created like the desired product with a rubber compound or mixed raw materials is called compression molding process.

Process Compression Molding Rubber Components

• Discern the amount of material you need to fill each cavity.
• To the measurements, preform the uncured rubber.
• Put the rubber into the mold cavity.
• Over the rubber materials, close the mold.
• Depending on the materials and components, apply heat and pressure to the material for a specific amount of time.
• Open the mold and remove the components that are fully cured.
• Trim the overflow material and flash by hand or a deflasher.

Transfer Molding Rubber Parts

Is the process of preparing preforms using secondary raw materials and putting materials into a pot between top plate and plunger.

Process Of Transfer Molding Rubber Components

• Discern the material which is enough for the component.
• With these measurements preform the rubber.
• Put the preform into part of the mold.
• Close the mold and then apply pressure.
• Push the rubber through a sprue.
• Fill the mold cavities with the material.
• While the rubber cures, heat further and apply pressure to mold.
• Release the mold and removal components.
• Remove overflow material and flash.

Rubber Metal Bonding

A superior mechanical bonding process of rubber to metal parts or plastic parts is called rubber metal molding.

Process Of Rubber Metal Bonding Parts

• Degrease and clean all contaminants
• On the metal components, spray a special, heat-activated adhesive.
• Prepare the part for rubber overmolding and then insert the parts into the mold cavity.

Hold the part in place with a special magnets when molding a specific area.

• To begin the molding process, close the mold and the rubber.
• Cure the rubber then activate adhesive with high molding temperature to form a mechanical bond of rubber to metal or plastic.
