Get Instant QuoteWhat is Silicone Compression Molding?
Silicone compression molding, also known as Rubber Compression Molding, silicone compression molding, which widely used to produce different shaped of elastomer silicon rubber molded parts & products. Silicone compression molding, not only can produce simple design & structure seal, but also can produce precision compression molded products, mainly depends on mold plate process controls etc. Silicone compression mold is one of the most cost-effective tool to make rubber seal or the silicone rubber parts.we can run low volume production for customer with rapid tooling, the lead time is about 2-3 weeks.
The Process of Silicone Compression Molding
Silicone compression molding process is more simple once compared to LSR injection molding, silicone transfer molding or extrusion molding.
Firstly, we will manufacture a compression mold with CNC machining and polishing. In simple silicone parts design, there will be a two plates mold includes a cavity side and a core side. Then, mold plates will be assembled and inserted into a compression molding machine.
After that, silicone materials like HCR (High Consistency Rubber) or LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) will be loaded into mold plates, compression machines will set heat and pressure with according time, allow silicone materials to spread throughout mold cavities and solidify.
Finally, release pressure from compression press, then separate mold plates and remove silicone parts. This is a normal compression molding cycle for simple silicone parts.
Hord has different size of compression molding presses. This guarantee our capability from small to large size rubber parts, single cavity molds to multi-cavity molds. We can configure our molding equipment to satisfy different production demands.
Benefits of Compression Molding
Below are the many advantages of silicone compression molding:
● The loss of raw material is minimal and will not cause too much loss, usually 2% to 5% of the product quality.
● The internal stress of the end product is low as well as a small warping deformation while the mechanical properties are stable.
● The life of the mold cavity is small with a low maintenance cost.
● Molding equipment also costs less and the mold structure is simpler. You can produce multiple cavities at a low price and compared to injection molding it has a lower manufacturing cost.
● It is suitable for large flat products. The size of the products that can be molded through this method is determined by the mold clamping force of the mold pressing machine and the size of the mold plate.
● If you require parts in batches, compression molding is suitable at a relatively low price.
● Molds that have a high number of cavities can be placed on a certain plate to improve productivity.
