Silicone extrusion is a cost-effective continuous molding process. With extrusion, you can achieve high-volume product output in a relatively short period of time.
The silicone material is thermally cured through specific molds and equipment to form the required cross-section, complex contours, and continuous lengths.
This process is especially suitable for the production of unrestricted tubular or strips silicone rubber products, such as medical silicone tubes, silicone wires, sealing strips, gaskets, or other complex-shaped products.
First, the pretreated silicone raw material enters the extrusion machine, and under the action of high temperature and high pressure, it is output into a continuous silicone strip, whose shape is determined by the die and extruder head on the machine. After that, the silicone strip will be repeatedly Pulled and heated several times to achieve the purpose of curing.
Most customers are keen to use a silicone extruder to extrude silicone into regular-shaped silicone products in plates, tubes, or strips. The finished product produced by this method can be cut arbitrarily. Due to the difference in process and process shape, the application of extruded silicone products is mostly in the fields of medicine and food machinery.
