What is Rubber Machinery?

Machinery used to manufacture various rubber products such as tires, including general rubber machinery, tire machinery and other rubber product machinery 3 categories.

Rubber machinery in general “Machinery for preparing rubber or semi-finished products, including raw material processing machinery, rubber mixing machines, extruders, calenders, curtain canvas pre-treatment devices and cutting machines.

Rubber mixing machines are divided into two types: open type and closed type.

Open rubber mixing machine: It is mainly used for hot mixing, tablet pressing, rubber breaking, plasticizing and rubber mixing. It consists of rollers, roller bearings, roller pitch adjustment device, emergency brake device, frame, machine base, transmission device, and heating and cooling system.

The working principle of the open rubber mixer is: raw rubber or rubber material is fed into the nip by friction between two rollers rotating at different speeds and subjected to strong shearing and compression to increase the degree of plasticity. This double roller open rubber mixing mill began to be used in production in 1826. Its structure is relatively simple and it is still commonly used in modern times.

Closed Rubber Mixing Machine: It is mainly used for plasticizing and mixing rubber. It has one more mixing chamber than the open mixer. After the raw rubber and compounding agent are loaded into the mixing chamber from the feed hopper, the material door is closed, the upper bolt of the pressing device is pressed down, and the two rotors of the mixing chamber mixture rotate in opposite directions at different or the same speed.

The charged rubber material is subjected to constant agitation, rolling and strong kneading between the rotors, between the rotors and the mixing chamber, which leads to oxidation and chain scission, which increases plasticity. At the same time, the rubber material is evenly dispersed and mixed due to shearing, so as to achieve the purpose of mixing the rubber.

Since the invention of the elliptical rotor enclosed rubber mixer in 1916, the enclosed rubber mixer has developed rapidly in the rubber industry. Subsequently closed rubber mixers with other types of rotors appeared. The mixing cycle of a modern closed rubber mixer is 2.5-3 minutes and the maximum capacity of the mixing chamber is 650 litres.

The extruder is used to extrude treads, inner tubes, hoses and various rubber strips, and is also used to coat cables and wire products. The most common is the screw extruder. Its working principle is: the rubber material is stirred, mixed, plasticized and compacted in the barrel by rotating the extrusion screw, and then it moves in the direction of the machine head and finally extrudes a product of a certain shape. From the mouth Depending on the needs of the product, various machines can be used for compound extrusion of a variety of rubber materials.

Screw extruders are divided into two types: hot feed and cold feed. Hot feed extruders generally feed strips that have been preheated by an open rubber mill. The rubber material fed by the cold feed extruder does not melt with heat, so the hot melt equipment can be omitted.

The calender is mainly used for pasting or rubbing curtain canvas, rubber material pressing, laminating, pressing and embossing. The main working part of the calender is the roller, and the number of rollers is usually 3 or more. When rubber material with a certain temperature and plasticity is fed into the gap of counter-rotating rollers, it is strongly squeezed and stretched under the action of friction to form the required product. The first calender was made and used in production in 1857, and it has been continually improved thereafter.

Especially since the 1950s, the development of the plastics industry has strongly promoted the improvement of high-precision and high-speed calenders. In order to obtain calendered products with a uniform thickness, new calenders are generally equipped with roll deflection compensation devices. The thickness of the calendered semi-finished product is measured with special equipment, and some calenders are also equipped with an automatic thickness adjustment system controlled by an electronic computer.

Tire Machinery

This type of machinery includes tire building machines, tire displacement machinery, tire molding vulcanizers, bladder vulcanizers, cushion belt vulcanizers, tube splicers and tube vulcanizers, as well as tire machinery, retreading machinery tires and recovered rubber production machinery. More than 60% of the world's rubber is used to make tires, so tire machinery occupies an important place in rubber machinery. Figure 2 is a flowchart of tire production.

The tire making machine is used to roll and process various components such as rubber cord, wire cord, and tread into a green tire. According to the purpose, it is divided into two categories: ordinary tire making machines and radial tire making machines.

The cords of the cords of the common tire carcass intersect at a certain angle. When forming, the cord tube is first placed in the building drum, and then wire loops are placed on both sides, and the cushioning layer and tread rubber are covered in the middle to form the shape. The green tire becomes cylindrical.

The main difference in the structure between radial tires and ordinary tires is that the cords of the cushion layer and the axis of the carcass are 90° 75° (almost orthogonal), so the diameter of the cushion layer does not it can be changed significantly after molding, so the carcass is made. After that you need to expand to the rough final shape and then attach the damping layer. Therefore, the structure of the radial tire making machine is also different from that of the ordinary tire making machine.

A molding machine completes the entire radial tire building process, which is called the one-time molding method. The carcass is made by a modified ordinary tire making machine, and then formed on the radial tire making machine, which is called the two-stage forming method.

Production speed adjustment of blow molding machines

Reduce the speed by increasing the exhaust time and full pressure time, while reducing the overall temperature of the light box. For every 0 and 1S increase in light box temperature, the overall temperature needs to be reduced by 1%. (The shortest exhaust time is 0, 8S, below 0, 8S, the bottle skipping phenomenon will occur due to irregular exhaust). Whether the speed increases or decreases, do not go too fast. Each time Z changes more than 0, 3S. Observe the quality of the bottle and adjust the speed after the quality of the bottle is stable. Every time you adjust the speed, you must carefully observe the quality of the bottle and adjust the temperature of the light box at any time.

 Every time the blowing cycle of the bottle changes by 0 or 1S, the output of the bottle changes by about 50 per hour. The blow molding machine should adjust the blow molding speed reasonably according to the speed of the filling machine. Plastic system debugging 1) The heater of the plasticizing system must be fixed evenly, and the heater and the heated surface should be evenly and tightly attached. For mica heaters, tap lightly with a rubber mallet while tightening to ensure a tight fit, which facilitates even heating and prolongs the life of the heater. 2) The thermocouple probe must have sufficient spring preload to ensure accurate temperature measurement. 

3) The compression bolt of the die head of the oil storage cylinder cannot be fully tightened. Press it down lightly to allow room for the thermal expansion and contraction of the barrel; the axis of the barrel  injection machines manufacturers  should remain straight without bending. 4) Before heating, be sure to turn on the barrel cooling water and the die cooling water to prevent blocking and clogging of the barrel feeding part, and to prevent the oil tank seal on the gearbox and the die from premature aging. 5) A magnetic frame must be placed in the hopper to prevent iron filings from entering the screw, thereby damaging the screw and mold parts or blocking the mold channel. 6) When the cold machine starts, it is usually recommended to reduce the extrusion speed. Usually the speed is gradually increased after the tube blank is extruded from the die.

 7) Under normal circumstances, before extruding the tube blank from the mold, personnel shall not stand directly in front of and under the mold. When the tank machine takes the first 3 shots, the personnel should stay away from the mold and shoot manually. The pressure should normally not be too high (usually no more than 5 MPa). 8) The automatic injection pressure of the gas cylinder machine should not be too high. The actual time for automatic injection is usually more than 5 seconds. Too fast speeds can result in incorrect wall thickness tracking and melt fracture. 9) For machines equipped with a wall thickness control system, the wall thickness controller must be manually started and run once before starting extrusion to prevent the die from closing completely and causing damage to the part.

Process of rapeseed oil pressing

1 Pretreatment of rapeseed Pretreatment includes crushing, steaming and peeling. The purpose of rapeseed peeling is to remove the main fiber and pigment body, otherwise it will reduce the feeding value of the cake. On the other hand, the leaching process is conducive to solvent penetration (the leaching can improve the porosity of the blank). In theory, peeling (that is, removing 15 percent of the material) will increase leaching equipment capacity by 15 percent. Remove these black skins before leaching and the oil is lighter and requires less decolorization. The dry peeling of rapeseed can adopt different technologies, such as pneumatic impact, cracking between rolls or deformation cracking, and the deformation cracking effect is the best and oil loss rate is the lowest. 2 Use rapeseed to make oil Rapeseed is first rolled to destroy the seed layer and rupture the oil cells. The steam stir-fry can rupture the remaining intact cells, improve the oil bead aggregation, increase the fluidity, and passivate the enzyme, especially the mustard enzyme. Billet in steaming in the frying pan, steaming Fried within 77 ~ 100 °C 15 ~ 20 min (depending on the rapeseed varieties). In most cases, the blanks after rolling and steaming are pre-pressed with a press machine to reduce the oil content from 42% to 16% ~ 20%. This prepress process also compresses the fine cake into a large sheet. The cake was leached with hexane solvent to extract most of the remaining oil. Leaching pulp finally in steaming offline (DT), steam spray treatment of 30 min (temperature is 100 ~ 130 °C), with removal of hexane and improve the quality of meal nutrition (by removing volatile mustard glucoside). Protein denaturation may occur during the initial stage of steaming and dissolving. It is an effective method to passivate the mustard enzyme in rapeseed and rolled stock by microwave. Myrosinase passivation depends on the initial feed moisture content (ideal moisture content is 10%). The drawback of microwave treatment is that the sulfur content in oil increases, which is caused by the long processing time. Many rapeseed processors add an extruder after prepress and before leaching. This kind of extruder is a kind of auxiliary equipment, its benefit is enough to make the cost economical. The latest design is to combine the prepress and extrusion units into one device, which has the advantage that no additional power is required. 3 Cake processing technology Rapeseed meal is a high quality protein source and can be used as animal feed instead of meal. Scientists in Scandinavia have developed a new method for making high-protein rapeseed meal. The key is deliberate heat treatment. In order to reduce the residual solubility in the meal as far as possible, only when the water content of rapeseed is less than 5%, can the best dissolute effect be obtained. Foreign scientists have investigated and studied the production of edible protein concentrate and protein isolate from rapeseed, but they have not put into industrial production. Danish scientists have developed a water-enzymatic process for preparing rapeseed oil. The pretreatment includes a rolling process and a heat treatment process to passivate myrosinase and other enzymes. The meal -- a mixture of rapeseed powder and molasses -- has been used to feed animals with a digestibility of 77.2%, a price of 92.7, and a net protein utilization rate of 71.5%. 4 Oil processing Rapeseed oil is refined by traditional chemical neutralization. A newly designed method of total degumming has been adopted. With the total degumming process, the phospholipid metal complexes use a strong acid to decompose insoluble metal salts and phospholipids (acid type). The latter is partially neutralized so that it is converted into a hydrated compound which can then be removed from the oil. After a certain contact time, add the alkali solution and mix into the acid oil emulsion to prevent the formation of fatty acid salts. This is especially important in terms of yield. Then, the oil was degummed by the first centrifuge, so that the gel phase with the lowest oil content and the oil still containing the residual glue were obtained. Then, the oil passes through the second centrifuge to get the gel-free oil and a type of oil-rich gel phase, which is recirculated.    A new method of separation impurities by 350 centrifugal filter is developed in Xi 'an filter qingbao filter plant. The method uses low density particles and centrifugal force. These particles form an inner layer of suspended solids through which the liquid must pass. The filtration accuracy of these particles can also be changed according to the characteristics of different oils. This adsorption is counter-current, in the operation process, the used particles can be replaced. The advantage of this method is that when oil is extracted, it is filtered through coarse filtration and water washing and then directly poured into the centrifuge. A small amount of dissolved phospholipids or emulsified water can be isolated from a large amount of oil, resulting in a clean oil. This centrifugal force exerts a force of several kilograms on the particles and the emulsion water. This method can be used to separate sulfur or phosphorus in rapeseed oil (which passivates nickel catalysts) and to separate colored ingredients or substances that affect smell. At present, there are mainly three ways to develop and utilize rapeseed resources at home and abroad. Second, detoxification of the cake; Third, rapeseed dehulling oil, deep processing. In order to improve the utilization quality of rapeseed meal, "double low" (i.e. low erucic acid, low glucoside) quality rapeseed was successfully cultivated and popularized in China. In order to remove the content of thioside in rapeseed meal, various detoxification methods were proposed. Such as heating inactivate and detoxify the thiosidase, enzymatic hydrolysis, distillation, filtration detoxification, water leaching of thiosidase detoxification, microbial fermentation detoxification, and so on. However, these detoxification methods can only remove the sulfur glycosides and cannot solve the harm of other harmful substances to livestock. The dehulling technology of rapeseed (also called skin) to produce oil has created certain conditions for the comprehensive development and utilization of rapeseed. The technological route of oil production is: drying - cleaning - hulling (removing the shell) - granulation - leaching. Compared with the traditional Chinese process of drying - cleaning - rolling - embryo - prepressing - leaching - oil production, the process of decanting oil production omitted the process of steaming and prepressing, which can avoid excessive protein denaturation caused by high temperature treatment in the process of steaming and prepressing, so that the water-soluble protein in the cake can be effectively preserved. At the same time, by removing the shell, the content of melanin, crude fiber, sinapine, tannin and other polyphenols was reduced, the wool oil was clear and transparent, and the quality of the cake was improved, providing quality raw materials for further processing. Utilization and comprehensive utilization of rapeseed Rapeseed oil from seeds is good cooking oil. Non-erucic rapeseed oil is used to make margarine and as raw vegetable oil (salad oil), shortening and flavoring oils. The main characteristic of rapeseed oil, which is composed of various fatty acids, is high in erucic acid (generally 40-55%) compared with other edible vegetable oils. Erucic acid is the long chain fatty acid of 22 carbon. By quality improved, erucic acid rapeseed oil of oleic acid and linoleic acid content increased significantly, linoleic acid is in the fat does not have, only rely on the supply of vegetable oil, easy to human digestion and absorption, and reduce serum cholesterol in the human body and glycerin three esters, softening blood vessels and prevent the formation of thrombus, have to human body fat metabolism plays a particularly important role. Rapeseed oil with high erucic acid (erucic acid content is 55-60%) is an important industrial raw material and used as lubricating oil in the casting steel industry. Generally, rapeseed oil is widely used in machinery, rubber, chemical industry, plastics, paint, textile, soap making and medicine. The protein content of rapeseed cake after oil extraction is up to 36-38%,and its nutritive value is close to that of soybean cake, so it is a good concentrate.   Characteristics of rapeseed oil peeling and cold pressing Its features are as follows High peeling rate. The rate of one peeling is over 98% to 99% Good peeling effect. After peeling, the proportion of half kernel and whole kernel is up to 80%, and the powder degree is less than 3% The preprocessing is simple. Before peeling, rapeseed does not need to be classified. Rapeseed water content of about 8% can achieve the ideal peeling effect. Post-processing is simple. After peeling, due to high peeling rate and low powder degree, there is almost no whole seed. It only needs to separate the two materials of kernel and skin, which is simple and easy to operate, and the necessary unpeeled and whole seed recovery and re-removal process can be omitted. The percentage of kernels after separation was less than 1%. Read the full article

A stock 1960 Chevy Impala gets a street machine makeover

Creating a unique vehicle is always a blend of artistry and mechanical skill. Whether it’s a restored original, a restomod, or an off-the-chart custom, lots of decisions have to be made before you can even begin. The toughest one is assessing the time, tools, and talent required to complete the task. Sometimes, doing it yourself is simply not an option and the best decision is to contact a pro. Once you get there, the question is, what’s the best strategy when you happen to be a pro?

It’s a situation that the team at StreetHeat Customs in Melbourne, Florida, has faced and solved many times. Matt Verzi and Gavin Broome have been building one-of-a-kind customs for clients for almost two decades. Their high-end patina trucks and cool restomods have been the subject of numerous magazine articles and they have a strong client base, both domestic and abroad. When it’s time to begin the next creation, their strategy is simple. Rather than hunting for a dirt-cheap project vehicle and spending time and money just to bring it back to “good,” they buy it good to begin with and start the enhancement process from there. As a result, they can usually complete the project in half the time and, since time is money, they always come out ahead. That’s the approach they took with this beautiful 1960 Chevrolet Impala two-door hardtop.

In fact, this car was well known to them for several years, as part of the South 40 collection near their shop. As the owner of South 40 regularly repositions cars within his collection, the StreetHeat guys are always eager buyers for his high-quality rides. Verzi recalls, “From the beginning, this 1960 Impala two-door hardtop caught our eye but it was always out of our reach. It was a frame-off restoration, brought back to incredible factory condition and garaged throughout its life. Seeing the car over the years and making many trips back and forth gave us plenty of ideas about what we could do with it if we ever got it.”

Sadly, the owner of the collection passed away and the vehicles were sold from the estate. Although the Impala was their goal, they had to buy 10 cars in a package deal from the collection in order to get it. The other cars were quickly sold off and Verzi and Broome began implementing all those long-simmering ideas, adding the best of everything and creating an exclusive build designed from the outset for future resale. Amazingly, just one short month later, the car rolled out of the shop completely transformed from factory stock to a slick, showstopping sled with serious attitude.

The car had good bones, outfitted from the factory with A/C, AM/FM radio, power brakes, and power steering. The Ermine White paint was in wonderful condition and the interior, although somewhat faded, still looked good. The odometer—zeroed out during restoration—had just 280 miles. Plans for the new millennium makeover began with a discussion about potential powerplants but, in fact, it was just a really quick chat.

The LS3 Connect & Cruise package from Chevrolet Performance is a team favorite thanks to its high power output, ease of installation, reliability, and factory warranty. They’ve used it multiple times in the past, always with great success. The 6.2L LS3 produces 430 hp in stock form and the boys added a cold-air kit and Hooker Super Comp headers that feed a custom 2.5-inch exhaust for an appropriately aggressive sound. The sophisticated V-8 is bolted up to a 4L60E transmission that multiplies the power to the 8.2-inch Eaton Positraction rear with 3.42 gears. A Champion radiator, Proform electric fan, and B&M trans cooler ensures the Impala’s temps stay in the green.

Naturally, replacing the original 283ci/170hp V-8 with a powerplant 2.5 times more potent demanded some serious planning when it came to handling. To give it that special StreetHeat touch, the X-frame chassis now runs Performance Online tubular A-arms along with Classic Performance Products 2-inch drop spindles. Hotchkis 1.25-inch sway bars front and rear and KYB gas shocks on all four corners add just the right dose of starch while the CPP 605 power steering conversion kit provides quick changes in direction.

The team achieved the car’s in-the-weeds profile with Air Maxx 2,600-pound bags, the AccuAir ENDO-VT extruded aluminum tank with the valves cleverly mounted inside, and a pair of black Viair 440 compressors on the outside. Taking technology a step further, the air system is managed by the e-Level self-leveling controller that also gives the driver three different ride heights at the touch of a button. Not only does the trunk-mounted installation look clean and compact, now this car really gets down!

Upgraded stopping power was one of the final big items on the list, accomplished with 13-inch, dual caliper Z51 Corvette brakes up front and 11-inch versions in the rear. Billet Specialties Dagger wheels did a great job of filling the wheelwells using 18x8s up front and 20x10s in the rear. Toyo rubber, 215/40ZR18 and 255/35ZR20, front and rear, respectively, wrap the Daggers. Thanks to aftermarket magic, the Impala’s formerly humble genes were transformed into right-now reflexes.

Moving inside, although the original interior was in fairly good shape, the new C.A.R.S. Inc. vinyl upholstery package is clearly an improvement, replicating the original and done in aqua houndstooth. The front and rear seats, door panels, kick panels, headliner, and carpet are all new. In the dash, the Dakota Digital VHX gauges, silver with blue lighting, provide modern telemetry with an analog look, perfectly in character for a ride from the ’60s. Subtleties continue with the factory steering column employing a Lokar adapter that connects the original Powerglide shifter to the modern 4L60E trans. Equally hip is the Gen IV SureFit A/C, Vintage Air’s latest release, featuring a fully electronic, microprocessor-controlled servomotor drive that eliminates cables and vacuum connections. There’s a panel under the dash for the horizontal vents and circular vents cool each end. Stock looking but full-featured, the RetroSound radio fits right in, playing tunes through a pair of Alpine speakers. And with that the additions to the car were finally complete!

As you can imagine, the cleaner, leaner, and decidedly meaner Impala is a source of pride, fulfilling the goal of showcasing StreetHeat’s style. Verzi and Broome smile when they say, “Our goal was to leave no room for improvement” We would say they definitely met that goal.
