SILICONE RING PRODUCTION LINE
A production line has been developed for two different diameters.
The purpose of the line is to construct a ring by winding successive layers of 50-micron silicone onto aluminum drums.
SILICONE RING PRODUCTION LINE
The mission's challenge
The homogeneous layering of silicone required precise adjustments to temperature and viscosity, while keeping up with the desired production rates.
Specificity
Production management in ISO 8 roomTechnical characteristics
| Dimensions | 2500 x 1300 x 2900 mm |
| Thickness of the film layer | 50 µm |
| Rotation speed of the drum | 0.166 tr/min |
| Drum diameter | 200 and 1200 mm |
Operational characteristics
The process involves depositing silicone rings in 10 mm increments by winding 50 µm film onto aluminum cylinders. Polymerization is carried out using an infrared heating system.
