Rubber Extruding
The extruder is a power driven screw contained in a cylinder. Rubber is fed into the cylinder at one end and the rotating screw pushes the uncured material out of the opposite end through a die cavity.
The rubber is under significant shear and heat is generated during this process. The rubber upon exiting the die cavity is conveyed onto a belt where it is cured or wound onto a plate for autoclave cure.
