RUBBER BASED PRODUCTS

RUBBER MOULDED ARTICLES

INTRODUCTION

The project profiles envisages the manufacture of rubber moulded articles (both natural and synthetic rubber), mainly auto components, components of electrical and other machine parts which are having good demand in these days.  As there is a good production of natural rubber in the country and to increase the demand of natural rubber, user industries are to be encouraged.  With more or less some infrastructure a number of items could be manufactured with slight change of formula and moulds.  Some of the items envisaged are:

  • Brake Pedals

  • Dust covers

  • Clutch Pedals

  • Wiper Blade Components

  • Wind Screen Beadings

  • Door Channels

  • Rubber Beadings

  • Rubber Mats

  • Rubber Washers

  • Gaskets

  • Brushes

  • Components for Electrical Goods

 MARKET POTENTIAL

Since automobile industry is in a boom, the requirement of auto components for new vehicles as well as for replacement is very high.   There is a tremendous growth of two wheelers, three wheelers, LCVs, Heavy Vehicles and passenger cars, Considering this growth, the potential for auto components is very high.

Electrical and Electronic industry are also in the growing side.  There are a lot of rubber components required in this line.   So some of these items could also be manufactured using the same plant and machinery with die modifications.

 BASIS AND PRESUMPTIONS

The unit will work for 300 days on two shift basis.

The unit will take 3 years to achieve its full capacity.

Salary and wages are based on local prevailing rates.

Interest on capital investment is taken as 17.5% per annum.

Margin money of 25% is to be raised by the propoters.

Cost of plant, machinery, building and materials are taken on current rates.

 PRODUCTION DETAILS & PROCESS TECHNIQUES

In the process of moulded rubber goods, the rubber is mixed with rubber chemicals, thoroughly is a mixing mill and thus the required compound is made.  The properties of rubber products differ according to the different composition of rubber chemicals.  The rubber compound is to be filled in the mould and then heated for a definite time at a definite temperature.  Then the mould is opened and the finished product is taken out of the mould.  Thus different moulded rubber goods can be manufactured.

The rubber composition varies depending upon the mature of the various items.  The raw materials and chemicals used are as follows:

Natural rubber, Stearic acid, Oil softener, Zinc oxide Pigments, Accelerator, Anti-oxidant and sulphur.

The compounding of rubber is done in a rubber mixing mill.  The machine consist of 2 rollers geared in such a way that one of the rollers, revolves slightly faster than the other roller.  The rolls are heated to about 50 degree Celsius for starting the mixing operation.  In the course of the mixing operation sufficient heat is generated and sometimes it is required to cool the roller by passing cold water through them.  The raw rubber is first masticated and then the other ingredients are incorporated by sprinkling then on the sheets and the passing them through the rollers, the rubber passed and repassed through the rolls until the various ingredients are properly incorporated.  Sulpher is added last and care is taken to see that the temperature of the roll does not exceed 45 degree Celsius

 QUALITY AND STANDARDS

Goods are manufactured to suit different models of automobiles based on the specifications given by the company.

SYNTHETIC ADHESIVE (RUBBER BASED)

 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The rubber and all the compounding ingredients are worked in a Rubber mixing mill.  The mastication tile and order of mixing of the ingredients vary with the type of rubber used.  It is very important to stadardise the mixing procedure and conditions to avoid gelling of whole adhesive mass.  Extreme cleanliness should be observed in handling raw materials to avoid foreign particles.   After mixing the rubber compound it is cut into small pieces and transferred to dough Mixer along with solvent mixture.  Generally 2-3 hours are required for a batch of 150 kg.  The dough (thick soln) thus formed can be diluted to desired viscosity Ford cap is ideal to determine viscocity.  Tackifiers may be dissolved in the solvent and added to the dough of Rubber Compound.

 QUALITY CONTROL & SPECIFICATION.

There are different specifications for rubber adhesives used by different Industries such as automobile, tyre and tubes, footwear etc.   A good equipped testing laboratory is essential to maintain quality as per customer’s specification and also for the developmental work.

 Proposed Production
