DESMA is a leading supplier of machinery, tooling, and complete production systems for the manufacture of screen panels and other wear items produced from thermoset rubber for the mining industry. A DESMA rubber injection molding machine, combined with DESMA Cold Runners, tooling, and ancillary equipment, allows suppliers of these large rubber articles to greatly increase production efficiency by reducing cycle times compared to compression molding.
What makes DESMA the ideal choice as a partner in these applications?
- DESMA regularly builds large rubber injection presses with large capacity injection units required for this application. We specialize in ONLY building machines for the rubber industry (no thermoplastics), so we have optimized our solutions to meet the needs of this unique application.
- The DESMA FIFO-A injection unit can be purchased with the ability to inject up to ~23,000 ccm (~60 lbs @ 1.2 SG) in one shot! This is well suited to producing the large articles needed for the mining industry.
- DESMA offers many customized solutions for the automated movement of heavy mold plates and molded articles through our sliding and lifting systems, as well as in-house robot integration.
- DESMA has been building molds for the rubber industry for 40+ years, including for mining applications. We have an intimate understanding of the details required to produce flexible, long-lasting, and high-performing tooling.
- The DESMA FlowControl cold runner is an ideal tool for the production of screens or other large elastomer parts, as it allows increased mold temperature and reduced curing time by dosing material directly into the mold cavity.
DESMA is a global company based in Germany, holding the largest footprint in North America (DESMA USA) among rubber injection molding machine makers.
