Production Process
1. Project- New Product Commissioning
When our project unit will launch a new product, by purchasing 3 pieces of the original product;
1 product is sent to our R&D laboratory, for raw material tests,
1 product is sent to the molding room for making molds (scanned in a 3D scanning device). Here, the product is revealed by reverse engineering from the original products. One product is archived to bear witness samples.

2. Mixture Preparation: 

Dough recipes are prepared in automation. The mixes we produce in our dough house, are kept in the resting room with air conditioning feature before extrusion. Products waiting for a suitable time are put into production in accordance with FIFO system. 

Materials Used
ACM
AEM, HT AEM
NBR, HNBR
VMQ, FVMQ
FKM

EPDM

3. Extruder Hose Shooting:

With our cold-feed extruders of small to medium frame size, we have compact and reliable working machine. Special screw and barrel designs and configurations guarantee the high quality we require. We have high output and quality service.

Modern control concepts and functionalities specifically adapted to our application guarantees ease of operation and efficiency.

Owing to their ample screw torque and large screw speed range, our extruder can be used for many applications.

4. Vulcanization Line Automotive uses autonomous lines for hot-air vulcanization of profiles, insulating hoses or special products. Hot-air circulation at high air velocities provides for good heating rates of the rubber extrudate. 2 units of Ø 2 meters, length 5.5 meters, 12 bar pressure Autoclave boilers (45 minutes 180 ° C, 8 bar pressure is vulcanized. 5.
