General information
- Short Summary
- Dutch manufacturer of high technical rubber products and specialized in rubber-to-metal bondings seeks mould manufacturer specialized in rubber mould making. Areas of focus are Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
- Full Description
-
As an international firm specialized in the manufacture of rubber products and rubber-to-metal bondings they are seeking new and durable relations with companies that are specialized in mould making and have experience in mould making for the rubber industry.
The manufacturing of moulded rubber products and rubber-metal connections takes place in the Netherlands and Bulgaria, where the company’s machine park houses more than 100 presses. The machine park houses two types of presses: injection presses for smaller moulded rubber items and compression mould presses for bulkier and heavier rubber products. Due to the wide range of product dimensions, 20mm up to 3000mm, this allows them to serve a large share of the market.
In addition to the pressing facilities, departments for rubber pre-processing, metal pre-processing and product post-processing also form part of the manufacturing process. The moulds that shape the products are designed in the Netherlands and thoroughly tested before use.
Injection press
When an injection press is used, the rubber is injected hot directly into a mould. This is especially suitable for larger production series, because production times are relatively short. An injection press is capable of injecting volume with high precision, which reduces the amount of waste. The products they manufacture on their injection presses can range in size from tens of grammes to a maximum of 20 kg. This frequently involves coloured products, as well as many full-rubber products and rubber-metal connections.
Compression mould press
In a compression mould press, rubber is compressed under high pressure. The mould has already been placed into the press, and the rubber is then fed into the press manually for each product. The press then closes, exerting an impressive force of up to 2,000 tons. Due to the combination of heat and the closing force, the rubber is shaped according to the result required. The largest compression-mould press at the Dutch company has a pressing plate surface of 1800 x 1800mm. - Advantages and Innovations

- IPR description
-
The Dutch company is looking for a reliable partner to manufacture their rubber moulds according to their specifications. And if necessary is able to engineer their moulds by SolidWorks.
For making the mould different manufacturing processes are needed such as milling, turning, boring and EDM by electrodes. Also optional surface treatments as hardening, chrome plating and laser engravings.
Technical specifications manufacturing:
- Geomrt. Product spec. acc. NEN-EN-ISO 1101/K
- Overall tolerance according to: ISO/NEN 2768-1 m
- Cavity tolerance up to ±0.05mm, depending of product specifications
- Surface roughness product cavity from Ra. 1,6 up to Ra. 0.8, depending on product specifications.
Partner Sought
