Production of own rubber compounds
Production of the specially developed Kroll and Ziller rubber compound by mixing, rolling, calendering and granulating. What remains at the end is a granulate that can be ideally further processed by our process technology.
Production of the inserts
Production of inserts from various materials using CNC laser cutting technology. Larger diameters are welded afterwards. In a further process, the inserts are prepared for the vulcanization process by priming and covering. This is necessary to create a good as well as inseparable bond between the elastomer (rubber) and the metal insert.
Extrusion
The produced pellets are shaped by the extruder, the insert is placed directly into the raw rubber mixture. The gasket blank is ready.
Vulcanization
Kroll und Ziller has a huge stock of molds in which all possible standard dimensions of various standards are available. The blank including the insert is placed in such a mold and vulcanized by our vulcanizing presses at a coordinated temperature and pressure. This is how natural rubber becomes rubber.
