The Rubber Group uses a DESMA 968.400 ZO Benchmark (S2) for large part injection molding.
Rubber Compression Molding: An Introduction
Rubber compression molding produces elastomeric parts by placing a pre-measured amount of rubber into a mold, closing the tool, and applying heat and pressure.
Rubber Molding Processes: Compression vs. Transfer vs. Injection Molding
There are three types of rubber molding processes: compression molding, transfer molding, and injection molding. Each has its own advantages and applications.
Rubber Material Selection for Molded Parts and Products
Rubber material selection involves physical properties, chemical resistance, temperature range, environmental factors, cost, and standards and regulations. The Rubber Group can help you to select the right rubber and provides custom rubber molding services that include injection, compression, and transfer molding as well as rubber-to-metal bonding.
Engineering Design Reviews for Molded Rubber Parts
Engineering design reviews are critical to the success of any product, especially those involving molded rubber parts. Rubber molding supports a variety of applications and can produce parts ranging from simple seals to complex components for demanding environments. To ensure part quality and reliability, rubber molders need to conduct thorough engineering design reviews Engineering Design Reviews at The Rubber Group …
Manufacturing Resilience: Inside Rubber Magazine Profiles The Rubber Group
Medical transfer molding provides tight control of part tolerances and can fill hundreds of mold cavities from a single pre-formed material. For both short runs and high volumes, this flexible manufacturing method supports complex shapes, thin-walled parts, and consistent dimensions.
The Right Rheometer for Your Molded Rubber Parts
Medical transfer molding provides tight control of part tolerances and can fill hundreds of mold cavities from a single pre-formed material. For both short runs and high volumes, this flexible manufacturing method supports complex shapes, thin-walled parts, and consistent dimensions.
When Does Wasteless Rubber Molding Make Sense?
Wasteless rubber molding usually isn’t waste-free. However, it can significantly reduce the amount of material that’s lost to runners and transfer pads.
Flashless Molding for Rubber Products
Flashless molding uses precision tooling to mold rubber parts with only small amounts of flash. The tooling is more expensive, but flashless molds reduce costs over time by eliminating secondary operations.
Value Stream Mapping at The Rubber Group Provides Customer Benefits
The Rubber Group recently completed a value stream mapping project that will reduce waste, remove production bottlenecks, and improve the overall effectiveness of our processes.
