Introduction to the Extrusion Molding Process of Silicone Rubber Strips and Its Applications

The extrusion molding process of a silicone strip extruder is also highly complex. Taking the production of tires with a silicone extruder as an example, during tire manufacturing at relatively low temperatures, the extrusion method is used to melt the silicone material, which is then forced through the die opening of the extruder head to form the desired shape. This is a challenging process that requires not only a thorough pre‑operation inspection of the extruder but also operators with substantial experience. Only by combining technical expertise with practical know-how can this process be executed effectively. Next, let’s explore the extrusion molding process and applications of silicone strip extruders. The extrusion molding technique employed by silicone strip extruders has relatively high technical requirements; however, it offers greater efficiency and helps reduce production costs, making it well worth widespread adoption across the industry. During operation, it is crucial to ensure that the extruder applies adequate pressure to the feed inlet to maintain stable product output. Accordingly, appropriate temperature‑control measures must be implemented—cooling the mold temperature is an effective approach. Additionally, since the rubber extruded from the die has not yet undergone vulcanization, it remains relatively soft and must be further cured in a vulcanization oven. After being extruded, silicone products pass through a pre‑heating vulcanization tunnel, where they are suspended in the air to achieve preliminary vulcanization and rapid curing.
