Rubber Shockproof Plate/Rubber Screen Vulcanizing Molding Machine With Push-Pull Mold By Electric Heating

 

1. Molding Process
   • The raw rubber material, usually in the form of sheets or compounded rubber with additives (such as fillers, accelerators, and antioxidants), is placed into the mold cavity of the vulcanizing machine. The mold is designed according to the specific shape and dimensions of the shockproof plate to be produced.
   • The machine then applies pressure through a hydraulic or mechanical system. The pressure forces the rubber to fill the mold completely and take on the desired shape. The upper and lower platens of the machine move towards each other to exert this pressure, ensuring that the rubber is evenly distributed within the mold.
2. Vulcanization
   • Simultaneously, heat is applied to the mold. The heat source is usually electrical heating elements located in the platens or around the mold. The combination of pressure and heat triggers the vulcanization process.
   • During vulcanization, the rubber molecules undergo cross - linking reactions. This chemical process significantly improves the physical properties of the rubber, such as its elasticity, hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to abrasion and aging. The temperature and pressure are maintained for a specific period of time, depending on the type of rubber and the desired characteristics of the shockproof plate.

1. Frame
   • The frame of the vulcanizing molding machine provides a stable and rigid structure. It is typically made of high - strength steel to withstand the high pressure and forces exerted during the molding and vulcanization process. The frame design ensures the precise alignment and movement of the upper and lower platens.
2. Platens
   • The upper and lower platens are key components of the machine. They are usually made of heat - resistant steel to endure the high temperatures during vulcanization. The platens have a flat surface that comes into contact with the mold and transfers the pressure to the rubber material. Some platens may also have grooves or channels for the circulation of heating or cooling media to control the temperature more effectively.
3. Mold System
   • The mold is designed specifically for the shockproof plate. It consists of an upper and a lower part that fit together precisely to form the cavity for the rubber. The mold's interior surface is usually polished or treated to prevent the rubber from sticking and to ensure a smooth finish on the final product. The mold may also have inserts or features to create specific patterns or textures on the shockproof plate.
4. Pressure System
   • The pressure system can be either hydraulic or mechanical. A hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump, cylinders, and valves. The hydraulic pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which is then used to drive the cylinders and apply the desired pressure to the platens. A mechanical pressure system might involve a screw - driven mechanism or a toggle - joint system to generate the force.
5. Heating System
   • The heating system mainly consists of electrical heating elements, temperature sensors, and a temperature - control unit. The heating elements are strategically placed to heat the platens and the mold evenly. The temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the mold and send feedback to the temperature - control unit. The control unit adjusts the power to the heating elements to maintain the appropriate vulcanization temperature.
6. Control System
   • A modern vulcanizing molding machine is equipped with an advanced control system. This system allows operators to set and monitor parameters such as pressure, temperature, and vulcanization time. It often has a user - friendly interface, like a touch - screen display, which enables easy adjustment of these parameters. The control system also includes safety features such as emergency stop buttons and over - temperature or over - pressure alarms.

1. High - Quality Products
   • The combination of precise pressure and temperature control during vulcanization results in shockproof plates with excellent physical properties. The vulcanized rubber has enhanced elasticity and strength, providing better shock - absorption capabilities and longer service life.
2. Customization
   • The machine allows for the production of shockproof plates in various shapes, sizes, and with different physical properties. By changing the mold and adjusting the process parameters, manufacturers can meet the specific requirements of different applications.
3. Efficient Production
   • It enables batch production of shockproof plates. The automated control system reduces the production time per unit and increases the overall production efficiency, leading to cost - effective manufacturing.

1. Automotive Industry
   • In vehicles, rubber shockproof plates are used in the suspension system, engine mounts, and body mounts. They help to reduce vibrations and noise, improving the comfort and safety of the vehicle occupants.
2. Construction Equipment
   • Construction machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and cranes use shockproof plates to protect the equipment's components from vibrations and shocks. This helps to extend the life of the machinery and improve its performance.
3. Industrial Machinery and Equipment
   • In factories and industrial settings, shockproof plates are used in machines like generators, compressors, and pumps. They help to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the surrounding environment and protect the machinery from damage caused by shocks.
