Compression molding machine | What is compression molding？

Compression molding machines are commonly used to manufacture a wide range of products, including automotive parts, electrical components, medical devices, and consumer products. The compression molding process is known for its accuracy, consistency, and ability to produce high-quality parts with complex shapes and designs.

Additionally, compression molding machines may also be used to perform other functions, such as heating and cooling the plastic material, injecting the material into the mold cavity, and removing the finished part from the mold. Some compression molding machines may also be equipped with additional features, such as automation systems, to improve their performance and productivity.

Silicone molding process Silicone molding molds are preheated before vulcanization. Place specific raw materials into a cavity. The mold tool then shuts down and the compressor applies pressure to the mold.

The main function of a compression molding machine is to manufacture parts or products using the compression molding process. In this process, a preheated plastic material is placed into a mold cavity and then compressed using a clamping mechanism. The heat and pressure applied by the molding machine cause the plastic to flow and fill the mold cavity, taking on the shape of the mold.

The manufacturing process for rubber and silicon products includes material preparation, chewing, mixing, preforming, cutting, calendering, vulcanization and processing steps. Each step requires specific equipment and technology to complete. Vacuum compression molding machine is an industry that produces rubber or silicone parts such as O-rings, seals, keyboards, connectors, bushings, rubber medical products, etc.
