Custom Silicone industrial equipment manufactured for various industries
Benefits of Custom Silicone Industrial Equipment
Custom silicone industrial equipment offers several benefits over traditional materials, including:
- High-purity and chemical resistance properties: Silicone are renowned for their exceptional resistance to chemicals, heat, and extreme temperatures. This makes them an ideal choice for applications where contamination or chemical exposure is a concern.
- Ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures: Silicone equipment can operate in environments with temperatures ranging from -50°C to 200°C (-58°F to 392°F) and pressures up to at least 15 Mpa, and exhibit physical properties such as semi-transparent appearance, varied plasticity, hardness (Shore A units), density (g/cm³), tensile strength (Mpa), elongation (%), and tear strength (KN/m) depending on the specific type of silicone product.
- Customization options for complex geometries and designs: Silicone can be molded into intricate shapes and designs, making them suitable for applications where traditional materials cannot accommodate complex geometries.
- Cost-effectiveness compared to traditional materials: Custom silicone equipment often proves to be more cost-effective in the long run due to its durability, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to wear and tear.
Designing and Manufacturing Industrial Equipment with Silicone
The design and manufacturing process for custom silicone industrial equipment involves several stages:
- 3D modeling and prototyping: The first step is to create a 3D model of the desired equipment using computer-aided design (CAD) software or other digital tools.
- Manufacturing techniques: Depending on the complexity and size of the equipment, various manufacturing techniques can be employed, including injection molding, compression molding, die cutting, dispersion molding, overmolding and more.
- Material selection and testing procedures: The type of silicone used will depend on the specific application and requirements. Testing procedures are conducted to ensure that the equipment meets the necessary standards for purity, chemical resistance, and durability.
