Compression molding is a method in which the rubber is usually
preheated. It is then placed in a heated mold cavity. The mold is closed
and pressure is applied to force the rubber into all parts of the
cavity. This method is particularly good for molding large intricate
parts.
Compression molding machine usually consists of a top and bottom plate
mold that is machined to a custom configuration. Further, an elastomer
preform is added between the plates and the plates are compressed under
heat and pressure for a specific amount of time. The variables are
closely monitored and adjusted to compensate for variable differences
during each cycle. After the elastomer is cured properly, the mold is
opened, the part is removed, the mold cleaned and the cycle is repeated
for the next mold.
Some of the important Rubber Compression Moulding Presses are:
- Compression Moulding Presses for Neolite Rubber Sheets
- Compression Moulding Presses for Rubber Mats
- Compression Moulding Presses for Silicone Rubber Key pads/Parts/
Medical Parts etc.
- Compression Moulding Presses for Belts, Conveyor Belts &
Transmission Belts
- Compression Moulding Presses for Dead end & Polymer
Insulators
