Moulding Rubber can be made into components by a number of processes, including extrusion, calendering, coating onto fabric and moulding. Harboro has concentrated on moulding in all its aspects and operates a wide variety of machines using all the common moulding processes. The choice of moulding method will depend upon factors such as the finish desired, the number of components required, the money available for tooling etc., and should be discussed in detail with a rubber manufacturer.
