Compression Hydraulic Presses, Traditional Processing Applications
High Cost Materials – reduced waste can provide lower overall manufacturing cost. Compression molding produces the lowest amounts of scrap material. It does not require additional rubber to fill a runner cavity of an injection mold, or the transfer pot of a transfer mold.
High Durometer Materials - Medium hardness materials (60A-90A) work the best in compression molding. Compression molding is easily capable of molding material of even higher durometers. Higher cavity pressure can be difficult to obtain with other molding processes without degradation of material properties.
Filled Materials -The compression molding process is well suited for molding materials that are combined with stiffening fillers. Fiber orientations are not altered of destroyed as commonly observed in injection molding.
Virtually all thermoset materials, from bulky material compounds to very high durometer materials.
Mostly every molding industry from industrial to aerospace.
