Technology extrudes rubber and plastics at the same time with the same tooling.

The Syncroflow Series is designed for advanced rubber and plastic applications extruded simultaneously and in the same tooling. The plastics can be run on the inside or the outside layer because the Syncroflow tooling is designed with a barrier that insulates and separates the extruded materials from each other. This extra layer facilitates the processing of two materials within a wide range of processing temperatures.

With a fully adjustable design, Syncroflow allows for separate concentricity and gum space adjustment on each of both layers. Manufactured with 420 stainless steel, the Syncroflow design is said to have a proven outstanding flow pattern for low volume extrusion, and all the components are designed to hold tight/ close tolerances. The Syncroflow Series is available in standard sizes from 1/8" to 6" in diameter.

This technology is said to present new opportunities for manufacturing composites, i.e., rubber and plastics, including hose, medical or specialty tubing, plus other complex composite material products. Instead of the normal two-step operation or in tandem, the Syncroflow allows a one-step process that is said to provide excellent adhesion of materials in the molten state. Secondly, there is said to be less chance of contaminants being trapped between the layers of plastic and rubber.

The company manufactures tips, dies and breaker plates using state-of-the-art computerized CNC machining and EDM equipment.
