RMS^® SINGLE ROLL ROLLER DIE (SRRD)

As dimensional tolerances continue to become more critical, conventional extrusion systems become less effective and reliable. The solution to this problem is the RMS Single Roll Roller Die (SRRD) system which combines the flexibility and economy of a simple rubber extruder head with the accuracy and dimensional control of a calender. The result is high-quality stable product that maintains superior dimensional characteristics with absolute consistency.

• Flexibility of a pressure head with the accuracy of a calender
• High degree of flexibility by way of simple, inexpensive, easy-to-change tooling
• Low-pressure process results in reduced compound temperature and increased line speed
• Trim-less die design eliminates scrap and rework

Problem: Most extrusion systems rely on the “push” principle where compounds are forced with high pressure out of the die. Die swell characteristics and high temperatures caused by the high pressures can no longer be tolerated with modern dimensional requirements and production needs.

Solution: RMS, a rubber extrusion company, has developed the SRRD that uses the “pull” principle. The compound is brought to the roll face where it is exposed to the atmosphere thus eliminating the high pressure of the “push” system. This allows for higher productivity on temperature-sensitive compounds. The “pull” principle uses the roll surface to pull the compound past the shaping die with no die swell. The result is a dimensionally accurate and advanced extrusion system at a lower cost.

RMS^® Single Roll Roller Die (SRRD): Key Benefits

• Improved dimensional accuracy of extruded flat or profiled components
• Maintains dimensional consistency at different speeds
• Suitable for temperature-sensitive compounds
• Can extrude single compound, multiple components
• Compact and flexible system for production or development applications
• Eliminates die swell due to the pull extrusion principle
• Reduces extrusion temperatures due to lower head cavity pressures
• Enables extrusions to be produced at increased line speeds
• Inexpensive and quick-change (under 1 minute) dies for different products
• Most compounds are able to run trim-less
• Quick and easy head clean out
• Can be used with any cold or hot feed extruder
• Suitable for applications including apex, sidewall components, inner liner and additional components onto an existing line

INNER LINER ABRASION STRIP / CHAFER APPLICATION

Enables precise application of extruded strip onto inner liner. These extrusion systems can be easily retrofitted to existing inner liner production lines.

• Application of extruded strips to hot inner liner.
• Typical System Comprised of the following
