Production methods
Autoclave vulcanisation (shaped hose, special parts)
Autoclave vulcanisation involves curing rubber under pressure and high temperature in an autoclave.
First, the moulded rubber part is placed in a mould or on a core. Then the mould is placed in an autoclave, where the rubber is vulcanised by exposing it to high pressure and high temperature for a set period of time. After curing, the finished product is removed from the mould.
Advantages of this method include high strength and durability of the finished product, as well as the ability to create complex and customised details.
Limitations may include longer cycle times and higher energy consumption compared to other methods.
This technology is widely used to manufacture moulded hoses, special parts and other technical components in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries, where high performance and quality requirements are crucial.
