Honeycrown's rubber molding service

Honeycrown's molding service can offer you short or long runs on even the most demanding of molded applications. Either send us your drawing or sample and we will do the rest.

Molding can be carried out in a number of ways such as:

• injection molding
• compression molding
• transfer molding

Compression molding

Rubber is pressed between 2 halves of a mould that have been heated. This is generally done with vertical presses. After it is formed, the part is cured at various temperatures for set times.

transfer molding

The preformed stock flows from a transfer pot to the cavities.

injection molding

Soft heated rubber is forced into a heated mold under a very high pressure. Once the product is cured, the mold is unclamped and the finished part is then removed.

Seal Design considerations

It is critical to the success of any sealing application to consider a number of inter-dependant variables if the required end product performance is to be achieved.

1. The medium to be selected and its chemistry

2. Pressure range and frequency of application

3. Clearance between mating components

4. Degree of lubrication present

5. Frequency and speed of relative motion

6. Surface finish on adjacent components

7. Method of handling and installation immediately prior to assembly
