Spiral hose production line

Product Description

Winding hose production line, the production process standard of winding hose mainly includes the following steps:

Mixing rubber: Use a mixer to mix the inner rubber, middle rubber, and outer rubber according to the formula.

Extrude the inner glue: Extrude the inner glue and coat it on the soft core or hard core coated with the release agent.

Winding steel wire: winding copper-plated steel wire or copper-plated steel wire rope on a winding machine or braiding machine, and simultaneously winding the middle layer of rubber sheet between each two layers of copper-plated steel wire or steel wire rope.Coating the outer layer of glue: Coat the outer layer of glue on the extruder again, and then wrap the lead or cloth vulcanization protective layer.Vulcanization: Vulcanization by vulcanization tank or salt bath.Finished product processing: remove the vulcanization protective layer, pull out the tube core, crimp the tube joint, and conduct a sampling inspection.

When using a high-pressure winding hose, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Bending radius: The bending radius should not be less than the given bending radius to prevent damage to the hose skeleton or early damage due to over-stretching.

Pressure balance: The pressure should be balanced and adjusted gradually during use to avoid sudden pressure increase and damage to the pipe body.

Clean the inside: After transporting corrosive liquid, the inside should be cleaned to prevent residues from corroding the pipe body for a long time.

Rubber/Silicone Extrusion Production Line Industry knowledge

The Rubber/Silicone Extrusion Production Line is a critical part of manufacturing processes in industries that require custom profiles, gaskets, seals, and other rubber or silicone-based components. Extrusion is an efficient method for shaping rubber and silicone materials into specific forms that meet precise technical specifications. This process is widely used in automotive, construction, electronics, medical, and consumer goods industries.

Key Materials in Rubber/Silicone Extrusion

  1. Rubber:

    • Natural rubber and synthetic rubber (such as EPDM, NBR, SBR) are commonly used in extrusion processes. These materials offer excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear, chemicals, and heat.

  2. Silicone:

    • Silicone rubber is known for its superior high-temperature resistance, flexibility, and excellent electrical insulation properties. It is often used in specialized applications such as gaskets, seals, and medical devices.

  3. Additives:

    • Various additives, including curing agents, fillers, plasticizers, and colorants, are incorporated into the rubber or silicone compounds to achieve desired performance characteristics, such as improved elasticity, strength, and UV resistance.

  4. Masterbatches:

    • Masterbatches are used to enhance the color or performance of the rubber/silicone material, adding pigments, fire retardants, or anti-oxidants.

Key Stages in Rubber/Silicone Extrusion Production

1. Material Preparation

  • Rubber or silicone compounds are prepared by mixing raw materials (rubber or silicone polymers) with curing agents, fillers, and additives. This is typically done in a mixer (like an internal batch mixer or open mill) to create a uniform compound.

2. Extrusion

  • The mixed rubber or silicone compound is fed into an extruder machine, where it is melted and forced through a die to form a continuous shape (such as tubing, seals, profiles, or custom parts). The extruder uses a screw mechanism to push the material through the die, where it is shaped and cooled.

3. Curing/Vulcanization

  • For rubber materials, curing (or vulcanization) is a critical process that involves heating the extruded material in a vulcanization oven or using ultraviolet (UV) light for silicone. This process cross-links the polymer chains, providing the rubber or silicone with its final properties, such as increased strength, elasticity, and heat resistance.

4. Cooling and Calibration

  • After extrusion and curing, the shaped rubber or silicone product is cooled using water baths or air cooling systems. The product is also calibrated to ensure it meets the desired dimensions and tolerances.

5. Cutting and Finishing

  • The extruded rubber or silicone product is cut into the required lengths or shapes. Further finishing steps, such as trimming, surface polishing, or additional curing, may be performed to meet customer specifications.

6. Quality Control

  • Products undergo rigorous testing for properties such as elasticity, hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and aging. Tests ensure that the extruded rubber or silicone components meet industry standards and customer specifications.

7. Packaging and Distribution

  • After passing quality control, the finished products are packaged for shipment. This could involve bundling, sealing, or wrapping the products, depending on the type of end product and customer requirements.

Key Equipment in the Rubber/Silicone Extrusion Production Line

  • Mixers: Machines used to blend raw materials and additives into a homogenous compound before extrusion.
  • Extruder: The primary machine that melts the compound and forces it through a die to form the desired shape. Extruders are available in single or twin-screw configurations.
  • Curing Oven/Vulcanizer: Used to cure the rubber, making it durable and elastic. For silicone, UV curing may also be used.
  • Cooling Systems: Water baths or air cooling systems that help solidify the extruded material and ensure it maintains the desired shape.
  • Cutting Machines: These are used to cut the extruded products to the correct lengths or shapes.
  • Testing Equipment: Instruments that measure physical properties like hardness, tensile strength, and elasticity, ensuring that the material meets required standards.
  • Packaging Systems: Automated systems that bundle and prepare the finished products for shipment.

Applications of Rubber/Silicone Extrusion Products

  • Automotive Industry: Gaskets, seals, hoses, and weatherstripping for vehicles.
  • Construction: Seals, window gaskets, and insulating strips.
  • Medical Devices: Tubing, seals, and other precision silicone components used in medical applications.
  • Electronics: Insulating parts, seals, and gaskets that require high thermal or electrical resistance.
  • Consumer Goods: Flexible products such as grips, seals, and custom molded parts used in everyday products.
