Production methods
Extrusion (profiles/hose)
Extrusion forces rubber through a mould to create long, continuous products.
First, the rubber material is mixed and prepared, then fed into an extruder. There it is heated and pressed through a mould (die) to create the desired profile or tube. The product is then cooled and cut into suitable lengths.
Advantages of this method include high production speed, cost efficiency and the ability to create long, uniform products with a continuous profile.
Limitations may include difficulties in producing complex shapes and the need for post-processing for some applications.
This technology is widely used to manufacture hoses, seals, pipes and other profiled products used in the construction, automotive and electronics industries, where durability and flexibility are key characteristics.
