What Is Rubber Extrusion?
Rubber extrusion is a processing method used to manufacture various rubber products by melting rubber material at high temperatures and extruding it from a mold.
The operating principle of rubber extrusion consists of three main stages: mixing and heating, extrusion, and cooling and shaping. Firstly, rubber material and additives are mixed and heated to melt at high temperatures using an extrusion machine. Next, the melted rubber is extruded into a mold by the screw of the extrusion machine, and finally, the rubber extruded from the mold is cooled and solidified, shaping its form.
Rubber extrusion is utilized in a wide range of products, including hoses, sealing materials, tires, and long-length products, as well as components with complex shapes. Its characteristics include high productivity and the ability to manufacture products with intricate shapes. Moreover, it is widely employed across various industries due to its relatively low manufacturing cost.
