Rubber Injection Molding Services
Our rubber injection molding services accommodate high-volume, custom-molded products and other projects requiring reduced cycle times. Next to liquid injection molding, our injection molding process offers the shortest cure time, with moderately complicated tooling needed.
An Overview of the Rubber Injection Molding Process
In this custom rubber molding method, rubber material or compound is fed into an injection barrel and warmed by the temperature-controlled barrel or through the shearing action of an auger-type screw or plunger. The material is then fed into the runner system and mold cavity through hydraulic or electric ram pressure.
Next, rubber is cured through the heating of the rubber from the injection process and the heated mold. The cured rubber part is removed and allowed to cool, with excess material removed.
The Advantages of Custom Injection Molding Services
- Highly Accurate and Precise: Rubber injection molding offers high precision and accuracy. This unique process gives rubber parts manufacturers the capability to produce a wide range of components with extremely tight tolerances and complex geometries.
- Highly Consistent and Repeatable: Injection molded rubber parts can be produced consistently with virtually perfect repeatability from one product to the next. All tolerances are held and quality is uniform, ensuring component compatibility.
- Extremely Customizable: An extremely customizable manufacturing process, injection molding can produce a wide variety of rubber products of different sizes, shapes, designs, and materials.
- Less Material Waste, Higher Sustainability: The injection molding process is extremely efficient. Manufacturing materials are precisely controlled, generating minimal material waste and making for a more sustainable production process.
