Extrusion
Rubber extrusion is a manufacturing process in which a prepared rubber compound is continuously forced through a die under controlled pressure and temperature conditions using a screw and barrel system. This process enables the continuous production of profiles with the desired cross-sectional shape, including seals, gaskets, hoses, and various sealing profiles.
During the extrusion process, flow stability, temperature control, and line speed are critical parameters for maintaining precise dimensional tolerances and consistent product quality. After exiting the die, the extruded products are vulcanized using microwave, hot-air, or salt-bath curing systems to achieve their final elastic and mechanical properties.
As a highly efficient and repeatable manufacturing method, extrusion is one of the fundamental technologies of modern rubber production. With our in-house extrusion and co-extrusion lines, rubber compounds of varying hardness and density can be manufactured according to customer requirements, including products with metal carriers, flocked surfaces, and self-adhesive tape applications.
