Extrusions are those things that come out of a forming die to be used for a number of different things. This was true when you played with Play Do as a child and it is true today. Many industries use parts coming out of an extruding machine for all sorts of things. There are many materials that can be extruded, however, the most flexible material is the rubber extrusion.
What the technicians put into the machine is the raw rubber with various compounds mixed in. This machine will melt the rubber and prepare it for the forming it must go through. It will then be directed to a barrel ending at the forming die. This die is the most important part of the piece of equipment.
Dies are made from very strong steel and designed to very exacting standards. They can create a number of different forms. Some of those will be a variation of a flat bar. Round holes are fairly common and many will have a device that allows them to form a hollow tube.
These types of extruded rubber items are the perfect item to serve as seals on space craft and even airplanes. This is because of the need for something to keep things tight while undergoing the stresses of high altitude flight. The need for a seamless item eliminates the danger of a spliced item coming apart when it is needed the most.
Pharmaceutical needs arise when a fine tube for administering medication is needed. There are also tubes, made in this same way, which must be inserted into a living person to replace veins and arteries that have given up the cause, so to speak. These are very small and must last a long time to be of any help in these cases.
Tubes, highly cleanable tubes, are needed for food production as they bring ingredients from the storage tanks into the blending areas. They need to be able to be sanitized and they must be strong and able to bend around corners. Occasionally, they will need to be run over by pallet jacks and bounce back into shape as only rubber can.
These kinds of extrusions are better than the older method of cutting pieces of material for seals and piecing them together. The process being discussed makes a single piece without any splices and able to resist leaks, as appropriate, or voids that can endanger what is being protected. This provides a level of security that was not as possible before this process was invented.
Seals in aerospace applications and safety for food being processed are benefited by these types of rubber items. Safety of your prescription drugs, maintaining the temperature of items placed in a refrigerator or freezer is also very important. The many forms that can be designed and brought out of a batch of rubber are what make the modern world the safe and secure place it is.
