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
