Rubber extrusion performed on a rubber extruder machine is a process used to manufacture a wide range of rubber products. The process makes use of an extremely sophisticated extrusion machine to compel synthetic or even natural rubber materials through a state-of-the-art die under extreme pressure. The materials used to carry out this process are generally typically soft and un-vulcanized rubbers. The process gives shape to the material in a soft and pliable state which is later vulcanized for hardening and converting into a high utility end product.

How a rubber extruder machine works 

A rubber extruder machine is equipped with mainly two parts – a heated shearing screw, and a conveyor. The screw in the machine acts as a material pushing agent through the conveyor and fed the compounds into the extruder. As material goes ahead with the support of the conveyor, it gets heat-treated and softened until it gets pliable. The shearing screw then pressurizes the softened material while forcing it into the die in which it gets into the final desired shape.

Features of extruded rubber products 

Manufactured in a facility provided by the rubber and HFFR cable extrusion machine manufacturers in India, extruded rubber products are extremely lightweight, flexible, reliable, and long-lasting. These products are ideal for use in a wide range of harsh or extreme conditions such as environments where temperatures are extremely high, and conditions in which chemical exposure is robust. Most extruded rubber products manufacturers adopt continuous rubber extrusion methodology to manufactures parts in different lengths and shapes. This process is very cost-effective and leaves very little waste material behind.

Some of the major products produced through rubber extrusion

  • Extruded Rubber Profiles

  • Mandrel formed hoses
  • Door, cabinet, and window seals
  • Vibration reducers
  • Gaskets
  • Spliced gaskets
  • Window seals for mass transit, and
  • Pressure switch square tubing.
