    Three-Fold Advantages of Rubber Compression Molding

    Of all available processes used for molding purposes, compression is the oldest and simplest. Especially for larger parts, as well as small to medium production runs, rubber compression molding is ideal. With this particular process, uncured rubber in the form of a preform goes on top of a mold cavity. Depending on the type of equipment, the operator can place the rubber on top of one or multiple cavities. With the rubber in place, the mold lid closes. At that point, a press pushes down, forcing the mold plates together. This part of the compression molding technique is what turns the preform ...Read More

    The Benefits of Choosing Rubber Compression Molding

    Among the different methods used for making rubber products is compression molding. For this, the manufacturer mixes the material and uses only the volume needed. The next step involves cutting the rubber into continuous strips. From there, the rubber compression molding process entails feeding the strips into a machine with a screw that fills the barrel with the predetermined amount of material. With the compression molding technique, the rubber then goes into a heated metal mold. As it softens and with the lid closed, the rubber conforms to the mold’s size and shape. After cooling, the exp ...Read More

    What Are the Benefits of Rubber Compression Molding?

    Rubber compression molding is a tried and proven method of manufacturing simple parts and components made from a raw rubber material. An easy way to visualize this process is to think of how a waffle iron makes waffles. For compression molding products, a skilled operator places uncured material inside a mold cavity. That cavity then closes, heats, and once the material cures, it ejects from the mold in a product shaped and sized according to the customer’s specifications.   Although not overly complicated, there are essential rubber compression molding process steps to follow. Missin ...Read More
