Silicone strip feeders.A growing market segment is said to be the molding of gum silicone rubber Noun 1. silicone rubber - made from silicone elastomers; retains flexibility resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range synthetic rubber, rubber - any of various synthetic elastic materials whose properties resemble natural rubber into parts for the automotive, medical and other industries. This company has engineered and developed, as part of its hydraulic press hydraulic press Machine consisting of a cylinder fitted with a piston (see piston and cylinder) that uses liquid under pressure to exert a compressive force upon a stationary anvil or baseplate. The liquid is forced into the cylinder by a pump. systems, equipment to automate the feeding of silicone silicone, polymer in which atoms of silicon and oxygen alternate in a chain; various organic radicals, such as the methyl group, CH3, are bound to the silicon atoms. strip, slab or pig stock into these presses. Various types of silicone feeders are available for both injection and compression molding Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is closed with a top force or plug member, pressure is applied to force the material into contact with all mold areas, and heat . The company offers feeders for both its custom TechniMold line of injection and compression presses, as well as its economical Maxim press lines. For strip feeding of silcione, the Strip-Assist conveyors are said to insure continuous feeding. Silicone strip is said to have low green strength and can separate unless it is supported as it is fed into an injection unit. As an alternative to strip feeding, the company offers Silicone Stuffers to feed injection presses. The Silicone Stuffer assembly contains a reservoir and ram, allowing the operator to intermittently in·ter·mit·tent adj. 1. Stopping and starting at intervals. See Synonyms at periodic. 2. Alternately containing and empty of water: an intermittent lake. load the stuffer with silicone material. Silicone Stuffer/Screw-Feeder systems feed transfer pots used in compression molding.
