Roller’s Application In Rubber Mixing
In the rubber and plastic production process, compounding is a very important step. During the rubber mixing process, rollers play a significant role. The roller is composed of a roller body and bearings, and different materials and surface treatments can be adopted according to different rubber blending requirements. As the main accessory of rubber refining equipment, the roller has the function of mixing and coloring rubber or plastic. The following are the main applications of rollers in rubber refining machines.
1. Changing rubber molecular chains
After passing through the loading machine, rubber raw materials and auxiliary materials are added to the rubber mixer for mixing. The pressure generated by the rotation between the rollers and the cutting effect of external forces cause the molecular chains in the rubber raw material to break and reconnect. Under the joint action of the rubber refining machine and auxiliary raw materials, rubber raw materials become easier to process.

2. Mixing materials
Rubber raw materials are generally hard and difficult to mix directly with auxiliary materials. When the rubber raw materials enter the rubber mixing machine, the rollers continuously rotate, squeeze, and stretch the rubber. Combined with external cutting force, the rubber can be fully mixed with auxiliary raw materials to achieve the mixing effect.
3. Heating
By adjusting the temperature or using heating rollers, the rubber raw material can be heated to a certain temperature, making it softer and easier to process.
During the use of the rubber mixing machine roller, it is necessary to pay attention to regular maintenance, safety production, and avoid improper operation that may cause damage to the roller. The application of rollers in the rubber and plastic industry also includes rolling, printing, extrusion, etc. If you need equipment or more rollers in the rubber and plastic industry, please consult Futian Roller.
