Bladder Curing Press

The SHB type Bladder Curing Press have been designed especially for manufacturing and curing the bladders used in the AUBO, BOM & AUTOFORM presses.

The control of hydraulic system included in the equipment is designed such that the lower mould half carrying the uncured rubber approaches the upper mould half with high velocity during the first closing stage, reducing the total closing period to minimum.

In the beginning of the pressing operation the closing speed is slackened automatically in order to obtain slow and uniform compression of uncured material.
After laps of the curing time, the press opens automatically and the bladders for AUBO and BOM presses are removed from the lower core plate. the bladders for AUTOFORM presses are detached by a pneumatic device
which is included in the delivery on request.

The moulds which are generally executed according to customer's drawings are made of high grade steel. The two external mould portions and the core are cured by a direct steam connection.

The presses and hydraulic power unit are delivered complete and ready for connection, excluding curing platens. A timer for automatic press opening after termination of the curing period as well as steam and condensate pipings are normal features of supply.
