Applications for Rubber Molding Products
Molded rubber products are used in many different ways in nearly every industry. Because it can be designed to fit into virtually any piece of equipment without leaking, molded rubber is an extremely popular choice.
Our custom-molded elastomer replacement parts are designed specifically for oil, gas and agriculture applications and supporting production and manufacturing facilities and companies. We know that these industries require the highest-quality products to keep their processes running smoothly, and we are dedicated to providing each of our customers with exactly what they need.
Types of Rubber Molding Processes
Rubber molding products are created using several different processes. The best process for your project depends on the specific needs of your application.
Compression Molding
With this process, raw rubber materials known as pre-forms are placed into the top and bottom plates of a mold. The plates are then pressed together so the rubber fills the mold cavity. Once the plates have been compressed, the mold and excess rubber are removed.
This method is ideal for smaller production runs. It is also an economical process with lower tooling costs than other processes. It is not ideal for intricate shapes.
Injection Molding
With injection molding, heated rubber is injected into a mold that has a series of cavities. This method has a reduced cycle time because it lessens the need for pre-formed rubber. It is ideal for more complex shapes and designs because the heated rubber can easily flow into the cavities.
Injection molding is best suited to medium and high-volume production runs for shorter overall production time.
Transfer Molding
This process is similar to compression molding in that it also uses pre-forms rather than heated rubber. With transfer molding, however, the pre-forms are placed into the "pot," which is the top portion of the mold. When the mold is closed, the rubber is compressed and pushed through the mold. When it has been formed, the custom rubber molding is flashed and the excess rubber is removed.
Transfer molding is ideal for medium to large production runs and reduces tooling and production for a cost-effective solution. The molds can accommodate a high number of cavities and allow for tight tolerances.
