  • Monitoring a Rubber Mixing Process
    A customer contacted us to find out if we could provide a data acquisition system for a very old piece of equipment used to blend raw materials for rubber compounds, which was used in a development lab. During the rubber mixing process, several parameters needed to be measured and charted
  • Mixing of Vulcanisable Rubbers and Thermoplastic Elastomers
    Mixing of Vulcanisable Rubbers and Thermoplastic Elastomers. Describing the current state of the art in mixing from a practical viewpoint, this report offers a historical background against which the latest developments are set, and summarizes the range of mixing techniques applied in the industry.
  • How White Rubber is Made
    Additives and pigments are important, but producing white rubber involves more than just mixing chemicals. Choosing a curing process and selecting rubber compounds are also important. Curing, or crosslinking as chemists call it, is a process that alters the properties of polymers. Henry Ford
  • Batching And Controls Solutions For The Rubber Industry
    A global manufacturer commissioned Sterling Systems And Controls, Inc. to create a customized Batching and Mixing Control System to improve rubber compounding batch integrity and increase overall production through automation.
  • Dow Corning helps a customer solve their customers' problems
    ST Services manufactures meter/mix dispensing equipment that their customers. use for molding silicone rubber medical products. Founded in 1995, they sell. about $1 million worth of equipment a year. Part of their customers' process. involves pumping uncured liquid silicone through pressurized
  • Using Temperature to Stabilize Dispensing Processes: Applying Lessons Learned by the Automotive Manufacturers to the Composites Industry
    The flood of advanced materials developed over the last 20 years has created changes in virtually all of the products that we see and use every day. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the automotive industry. What started with bolted and welded steel, rubber, fabric and glass is now a complex
  • Aseptic Processing, the Japanese Way
    Processing Current Good Manufacturing Practices, 400vials/minute for 2-mL vials and 200 vials/minute for 7-mL vials. In the future, the system will be equipped to handle 10-mL vials. Glass vials, 2 mL and 7 mL There are a total of five types of rubber stoppers used: lyophilization stoppers for both 2-mL
  • Importance of Hardness Testing
    Shore D is used for harder materials. To better understand these scales, a rubber band measures at a hardness of around 30 Shore A, whereas a hard hat measures at a hardness of about 80 Shore D. There is some overlap in these two scales, as tire treads have a hardness of approximately 70 Shore
