In contemporary society, rubber products are closely related to our lives. For enterprises, shaping rubber into various forms of craft products is a challenge. Team MFG has over a decade of industry experience in the field of rubber molding services. We provide top-notch custom rubber molding services to meet the precise needs of various industries.
Our rubber injection molding process utilizes a state-of-the-art hopper and heated barrel system. This method efficiently feeds uncured rubber, then pushes it through a plunger into a heated chamber, ensuring precise mold filling. Our process is designed to support a wide range of durometers and custom shapes, with an emphasis on reducing flash and ensuring quicker cycle times.
High-Volume and Low-Volume Capabilities: We are equipped to handle both high and low-volume production, adapting our techniques to suit your needs.
Sophisticated Parting Lines: Our expertise in setting parting lines minimizes flashes on rubber molded parts, ensuring a high-quality finish.
Temperature Management: We rigorously control the molding temperature to balance flow, quality, and strength of the final product.
Rubber Compression Molding Service
Recognized as one of the most cost-effective and widely used methods, compression molding is ideal for low to medium production volumes. This process involves pre-heating the rubber material and compressing it into the mold cavity using a high-pressure press. It's particularly advantageous for producing large, bulky products like gaskets, seals, and o-rings.
Mold Construction: We design a two-plated mold, adaptable for closed and open structures.
Material Placement: The molding material, mixed with a curing agent, is placed in the heated cavity.
Mold Compression: The material is compressed, ensuring full contact with all mold areas.
Heating and Curing: The mold is heated to cure the rubber effectively.
Final Processing: After molding, we remove overflows and prepare the product for delivery.

Rubber molding shapes rubber into different products. It uses heat and pressure in a mold. This method is quick and saves costs. It also makes parts that are accurate and strong. The process includes three types: injection, compression, and transfer molding. Each type has its own use and benefits. This makes rubber molding important in making various rubber items.
Rubber Injection Molding
Advantages of Rubber Injection Molding
- Superior precision: Ideal for intricate designs requiring exact dimensions. - Efficient production: Suitable for high-volume manufacturing, offering consistency. - Minimal waste: Produces less scrap material, enhancing cost-effectiveness.
Disadvantages of Rubber Injection Molding
- Limited material compatibility: Best suited for silicone rubber molding and similar materials. - Higher initial costs: Investment in specialized machinery can be substantial.
Rubber Compression Molding
Advantages of Compression Molding
- Versatility: Adaptable for various materials, including black rubber molding. - Cost-effective: Lower tooling costs, making it suitable for custom rubber molding projects. - Simplified process: Easier to manage and maintain, especially for flexible rubber molding.
Disadvantages of Compression Molding
- Limited complexity: Not ideal for extremely detailed or thin-walled designs. - Longer cycle times: May not be suitable for large-scale production demands.
Rubber Transfer Molding
Advantages of Rubber Transfer Molding
- Customization: Excellently suited for qualiform rubber molding, allowing for unique part designs. - High-quality finish: Produces parts with smooth surfaces and precise details. - Good for small parts: Ideal for manufacturing small, intricate components.
Disadvantages of Rubber Transfer Molding
- Increased waste: Can generate more material waste compared to injection molding. - Complex tooling: Requires intricate mold designs, which can increase production costs.
