The production of components using High-Temperature Vulcanization (HTV) silicone necessitates a machine reaction that is commensurate with the unique material characteristics. The RT Series was designed by Dekuma with these specific needs in mind. To control the unique flow and curing properties of HTV compounds, this injection molding machine is constructed from solid silicone. Every component of the system is developed to assist manufacturers in their quest for consistent, long-lasting, and meticulously manufactured silicone components.
An Injection System for Material Consistency
The foundation of this HTV injection molding machine is its Optimized Injection System. The engineering team at Dekuma focused on refining both the plasticization and injection phases to work in unison with solid silicone materials. The design improves screw feeding, which promotes a steady and reliable flow of material into the barrel. This action is critical for achieving a uniform mixture, a state known as homogenization. The system also facilitates better venting, allowing trapped air to escape during the plasticizing stage. For any solid silicone injection molding machine, this process is a key step in preventing voids and ensuring the structural integrity of the final molded part.
Interface and Control for Process Management
A sophisticated machine requires a clear and dependable interface. The Dekuma solid silicone rubber molding machine uses an Austrian B&R control system, recognized for its precision and reliability in industrial settings. This system is paired with a 10.4″ TFT color touch screen, providing operators with a clear visual overview of the entire production cycle. The interface makes the setup and monitoring of parameters a more straightforward task. This level of control is essential for an HTV injection molding machine, as it allows for the exact adjustment of temperature, pressure, and cycle times, which are all vital for processing HTV silicone correctly.
The Result of Technical Integration in Production
The combination of an optimized mechanical system and a precise control unit defines the output of the RT Series. The machine’s ability to prepare the material consistently, followed by accurate injection and curing, creates a stable production environment. This stability is what manufacturers using a solid silicone injection molding machine depend on for maintaining high-quality standards run after run. The technology integrated into this HTV injection molding machine from Dekuma aims to reduce variability, which in turn supports a higher yield of acceptable parts and contributes to overall operational productivity.
