Deep-Dive Into the Compression Molding Process
Compression molding transforms vulcanized rubber into strong, precision components through a high-pressure process that creates parts vital for reducing noise and friction in machines. This cost-effective method uses heated molds and pressure to produce durable rubber components that meet specific engineering requirements and quality standards.
Compression Molding Defects: What Can Go Wrong
We manufacture precision rubber parts through compression molding, where potential defects can arise from incomplete cavity fills, improper elastomer fillers, or incorrect vulcanization processes. While defects like blisters, chips, discoloration, shrinkage, and flow lines can occur, our expertise and careful attention to calculations and variables ensure high-quality parts that meet specific design requirements.
Three Benefits of Rubber Compression Molding
Compression molding, one of the oldest rubber shaping methods, uses metal presses to apply pressure to rubber, creating durable parts. This cost-effective process is suitable for various production runs and part sizes, offering versatility and repeatability while maintaining quality, though it may not be ideal for very small, intricate parts.
