What type of services does our group of manufacturing at Alpha Contract Manufacturing Group inc. offer?

From mold making to machinery parts, rubber is an integral part of our environment. This is precisely why our group offers you a complete solution in industrial subcontracting to carry out your project.

Here is an overview of our industry standard services in Boston:

Bonding rubber to metal

This technique refers to bonding or attaching rubber to metal parts or surfaces. This is often done using adhesives or mechanical fasteners, such as screws or bolts. Bonding rubber to metal is often used in the manufacturing of products that require a combination of the unique properties of rubber (e.g. flexibility, shock absorption) and the strength and durability of metal.

Rubber cut or machined

This is the process of cutting or shaping rubber using specialized equipment and techniques. This may be done to create precise shapes or to remove excess material. Rubber cutting and machining can be done using a variety of methods, including waterjet cutting, laser cutting, and CNC machining.

Contact molding

This is a method of molding rubber in which the rubber is placed in a mold and then brought into contact with a surface or shape to be replicated. This is often done using a process called “vacuum forming,” in which the rubber is placed over a heated surface and then vacuum pressure is used to hold it in place while it cools and hardens.

Molding of rubber or silicone by compression and by transfer

This refers to the process of creating rubber products by forcing the raw rubber material into a mold using either compression or transfer methods. Compression molding involves placing the rubber material into a mold and then applying pressure to shape it, while transfer molding involves injecting the rubber material into a closed mold using a plunger or screw. Both methods are commonly used in the industrial rubber industry to produce a wide range of products, including gaskets, seals, and hoses.

The industrial rubber is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear, making it perfect for products that need to withstand harsh conditions. It’s also able to be molded and shaped into a variety of forms to meet specific needs. Making it a highly versatile quality product.

It’s a very important material used in a wide range of industries; including the car industry, the medical industry and construction. Its unique properties makes it ideal for a lot of different applications.


What are some of the different types of industrial rubber?

  • Natural rubber: This type of rubber is made from the sap of rubber trees and is known for its excellent elasticity and tensile strength.

  • Synthetic rubber: This type of rubber is made from petroleum-based chemicals and offers a wide range of properties, including excellent resistance to heat and chemicals.

Recycled rubber: This type of rubber is made from used or scrap rubber and is an eco-friendly option for many applications.

  1. Compounding (or formulating): Chemicals are added to a rubber base to create a compound. These chemicals can help stabilize the rubber or make it stronger. This is done to create a compound that can be molded and shaped into specific products.
  2. Mixing: After compounding, we can mix additional ingredients to the rubber using professional mixers. This is done in two steps to improve ingredient dispersion and prevent the rubber from getting too hot. We first create a masterbatch with ingredients like carbon black, and then we add the chemicals needed for vulcanization after the rubber has cooled.
  3. Molding (or Shaping): The rubber compound is then molded into the desired shape using a variety of methods, including injection molding, extrusion, and calendering. The specific technique we use depends on the final product we want to create.
  4. Vulcanization: This is the final step of the process, where we heat the rubber with sulfur, an accelerator, and an activator to form cross-links between the long rubber molecules. This improves its elasticity, resilience, tensile strength, viscosity, hardness, and weather resistance.
  5. Finishing: The vulcanized rubber product is then trimmed and finished to meet specific tolerances and specifications.

 

Industrial rubber processing is an important part of the manufacturing process for a wide range of industrial products, including conveyor belts, gaskets, industrial hoses, and tires. It requires specialized equipment and expertise to ensure that the products meet the necessary performance and quality standards.

  • Resistance to wear and tear: Industrial rubber is resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for products that will be subjected to frequent use or exposure to harsh conditions.
  • Resistance to heat and chemicals: Many types of industrial rubber are resistant to heat and chemicals, making them suitable for use in a variety of industries.
  • Temperature: The temperature range in which the rubber will be used is an important factor to consider when selecting the right material. Some types of rubber are more resistant to heat than others, and it is important to choose a material that can withstand the specific temperature range required.
  • Chemical resistance: Depending on the application, it may be necessary to choose a rubber that is resistant to certain chemicals. For example, if the rubber will be used in a chemical processing plant, it is important to choose a material that can withstand exposure to corrosive chemicals.

Performance requirements: The specific performance requirements of the application should also be taken into account when selecting the right industrial rubber. For example, if the rubber will be used in a conveyor belt, it is important to have in your inventory a material that has good tensile strength and is resistant to wear and tear.
