Extrusions.

Informational literature describes the extrusion services and capabilities of this rubber products manufacturer. Unlike other extru-ders which focus largely on the mass production of standard items, the literature explains that this company concentrates on the custom extrusion of complex profiles from traditional elastomers, such as nitrile, EPDM and polychloroprene, and from high performance materials, such as fluoroelastomers and ethylene/ acrylic elastomers. At its 15,000 square foot plant in suburban Philadelphia, PA, the company is said to operate an advanced extrusion line featuring a 3" cold feed extruder with multi-range temperature controls, a horizontal in-line electric curing oven and an electric autoclave with programmable controls. Capabilities of the extrusion line include large diameter extrusions in complex profiles, tolerances as close as [+ or -] 0.015", tighter controls over temperature and pressure, improved productivity and virtual freedom from talc and other impurities, according to the literature. The company is said to be unique in maintaining, under one roof, a full array of complementary services, including rubber compound testing and development, custom mixing, design and machining of dies and molds, custom molding and cryogenic deflashing.
