Extrusion molding is a manufacturing process used to make products that have a fixed cross-sectional profile such as pipes and hoses.

To create extruded rubber parts, a rubber compound or mixed elastomer is forced under pressure through a die that is shaped like the end product. The material is fed into an extruder, which is a cylindrical barrel that contains a helical screw.

What are the advantages of using extrusion molding?

Extrusion molding provides the following advantages:

Continuous process can produce lengths of up to 60 feet;
Consistent cross-section results in the production of complex shapes;
High production volumes;
Low cost per pound of materials used;
Good for producing tube-shaped products such as pipes and hoses.
The two primary advantages of extrusion custom rubber molding are its ability to create very complex cross-sections, and to work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses.
