Manufacturing methods: from latex to finished part

Epidor SRT uses state-of-the-art technology for machining parts from elastomer dollas, sheets or raw material. The basic polymer of an elastomeric compound is rubber, produced from natural or synthetically manufactured latex. Currently, more than 32 synthetic elastomers or rubbers are known. The initial step is the design of the elastomer formulation to which we demand certain properties such as hardness, color, degree of chemical resistance or remaining deformation, among others. First stage: Formulation preparation In this stage...

Why should vibrations be taken into account?

Excessive vibrations that may occur suddenly or gradually in machines are not always given sufficient importance. But the consequences are manifold, such as, for example: Noise nuisance due to increased noise. Decreased safety of plant personnel Increased energy expenditure Unnecessary maintenance Reduced machine availability Quality defects Material damage Unscheduled downtime Vibrations may be due to a machine design problem. In this case, we will try to improve the design to minimize...
