Transfer moulding
Transfer moulding_Rubber Processing This is a variation on compression moulding and involves loading a pre-formed blank of rubber in a cavity connected to the mould cavity by a runner. The blank is compressed when the mould closes and is forced under pressure into the mould cavity. The safety considerations are the same as for compression moulding.
Injection moulding
This produces precision mouldings. The rubber is pre-heated and a rotating screw forces it into the mould cavity under pressure. Vertical injection moulding machines are more common than the horizontal type generally used in plastics processing.
Injection moulding machines can have a manual mode where the operator removes the moulded item at the end of each cycle. More common are semi-automatic or fully automatic machines where conveyor or pick and place robots remove the moulded product. Injection moulding machines tend to operate at faster speeds and on shorter cycle times than compression/transfer moulding, which effectively increases the potential risk to the operator from mechanical hazards.

How to Make Rubber Hose

1 overview The main raw materials of rubber products are raw rubber, various complexes, as well as fiber and metal materials as skeleton materials, the basic production process of rubber products includes plastic refining, mixing, calendering, pressing, molding, vulcanization 6 basic processes. Rubber processing process is mainly to solve the plastic and elastic contradictions of the process, through a variety of processing means, so that elastic rubber into plastic plastic rubber, in the addition of a variety of complexes to make semi-finished products, and then through vulcanization is plastic semi-finished products and become high elasticity, physical and mechanical properties of rubber products. 2 Rubber processing Technology 2.1 Plastic Refining Process Raw rubber molding is the process of transforming raw rubber from a strong elastic state to a soft, easy-to-process plastic state by means of mechanical stress, heat, oxygen, or the addition of certain chemical reagents.

Mixing Once the compound ingredients have been weighed out they are mixed together using specialised machines capable of dealing with the high stresses involved in shearing rubber. Mixing can be either by internal mixing or external/open mill mixing which have very different safety problems. Internal mixing (eg. Banbury or Intermix mixers) The compound ingredients are fed into an enclosed mixing chamber via a feed hopper and mixed by the shearing action of two winged rotors and the walls of the mixing chamber. There is therefore a continuous nip. A powered ram or floating weight in the feed throat forces ingredients into the mixing chamber, which is usually water-cooled. The mixed compound is discharged via a sliding or hinged door below the mixing chamber, usually onto a two- roll mill, roller die, twin-screw extruder, conveyor, skip hoist, or wheeled truck.

VULCANISATION (INCLUDING PRESSES, AUTOCLAVES AND CONTINUOUS VULCANISATION)

Moulding Introduction All vulcanising methods can cause burns. Insulate hot machine surfaces to prevent accidental contact where possible. Otherwise, warning signs and protective clothing (for lower arms as well as hands) are likely to be required. Compression moulding Compression moulding is the most common moulding technique used in the rubber industry. It involves pressing uncured rubber between heated moulds so that the rubber compound first fills the mould cavity before curing to produce the finished article. The presses are usually hydraulically or pneumatically powered and the moulds can be heated electrically, by steam, or by oil. Compression moulding presses are generally vertical (the moving platen is raised or lowered in the vertical plane). The bottom platen can be up stroking or the top platen down stroking. Moulds may be fixed to both the platens, part fixed to a platen, or totally free to be drawn out of the press and loaded and unloaded on a press table. These lo
