Rubber Manufacturing,

 

Rubber is a crucial material widely used in various industries due to its flexibility and durability. The manufacturing of rubber is a complex process carried out using two primary sources: natural rubber and synthetic rubber.

 

Manufacturing Process:

 

1.⁠ ⁠Mold Production: The geometry of the desired part is created by using CNC lathes and milling machines on metals of suitable hardness.

 

2.⁠ ⁠Raw Material Preparation: Natural rubber sheets or synthetic rubber polymers are first prepared for the mixing stage.

 

3.⁠ ⁠Mixing: The rubber is mixed with carbon black, oils, antioxidants, and other additives. This ensures that the rubber acquires the desired properties.

 

4.⁠ ⁠Vulcanization: The mixture is subjected to a heating process called vulcanization. This process increases the rubber's flexibility and enhances its durability. Vulcanization is typically carried out using sulfur or other chemicals.

 

5.⁠ ⁠Shaping and Cutting: The vulcanized rubber is shaped by pouring it into molds or using extrusion methods. It is then cut to the desired size and shape.

​

6.⁠ ⁠Quality Control: The manufactured rubber products undergo a quality control process. This ensures that the products meet the standards for durability, flexibility, and other essential properties.

 

Rubber manufacturing plays a vital role in the production of various products used in industries such as automotive, construction, medical, and consumer goods. Therefore, a high-quality and efficient manufacturing process significantly impacts the performance and durability of rubber products.
