Rubber Molding Strip Feeders

Another important piece of auxiliary equipment, a rubber strip feed aids in the operation of rubber injection molding machines. Both simple and effective, the feeder lifts the rubber strip from the basket near the feed throat area of the screw barrel and creates a specific length of slack closer to the feed zone so that the screw augering is not solely responsible for trying to pull the rubber a long distance.

Without a rubber strip feed , injection molding machines are liable to sheer the rubber, especially on large, vertical machines. This slows production as the operator has to continually spend time feeding the rubber himself, when the screw augering fails to pull the rubber into the machine correctly on its own. The Twin Pines rubber strip feed puller solves this problem with an electronic puller that can be adjusted depending on the machine and the specific type of rubber in order to create an exact amount of slack. This ensures efficient and steady production from your rubber injection molding machines.
