Mold heating is not needed as the platens are heated.

How does to make a rubber gasket by Compression Molding?

The most cost-effective and widely-used rubber molding method is compression molding. It is best used for low to medium production volumes for larger parts where tightest tolerances and flawless finishes are not required. This process involves compressing pre-heated material into a mold using a press, completely filling the mold cavity and holding it until cured.

 

What is the rubber transfer moulding process?

 

Like compression molding, transfer molding also utilizes a press and mold. The main difference is that in transfer molding, a piston forces the material through a passage into the mold cavity. While transfer molding can be more costly and take more time than compression molding, this method produces more complex products with a tighter tolerance control while still maintaining a higher production rate.

 

What is the rubber injection molding process with rubber gasket material?

 

Rubber injection molding is considered the most cost-effective rubber molding way, special for high-volume rubber parts with small size, but high tight tolerance request. The rubber injection molding process is more precise compared with

rubber compression molding and rubber injection way, because the rubber injection molding process is with more better pressure, temperature, material liquid speed control to mould cavities. Of course, the rubber injection mould cost is higher

than other compression mould and transfer mould. 

 

How to make rubber part with burrs, no deflashing-Cryogenic Deflashing and Finishing

 

 

 

At Melon Rubber, we offer both deflashing way manual trimming and cryognic deflashing.  different part structure, different rubber mould design, different deflashing trimming way.

for example, like to middle or big size custom rubber gasket,  manual trimming is more better way to control cost and part quality. also for O-ring or rubber silicone flange gasket, cryogenic deflashing is most versatile and effective way to remove flash from custom rubber part. Flash comes from mould parting line. This is when excess moulded material escapes from the mould cavity during production. In

cryogenic deflashing process rubber parts are placed inside a barrel and liquid nitrogen is used to chill the parts so that the flash becomes brittle. The temperature of the flashing on the rubber is reduced to below its glass transition temperature, a point at which rubber behaves like glass and becomes easy to remove but does not crack the part. Once chilled, the machine tumbles the parts around on themselves allowing all the flash to break off. Cryogenic deflashing does not degrade the parts or harm their finish in any way. Edges stay sharp and recessed areas are completely cleaned of flash.
