REMOVING EXCESS SALT FROM RUBBER EXTRUSION USING AIR KNIFE & SIDE CHANNEL BLOWERS

Dunlop

Rubber extrusion used in the manufacture of door and window seals is passed through a salt potassium nitrate bath to cure it and produce a gloss finish. salt adheres to the strip spoiling the appearance of the product and causing maintenance problems when it sticks to conveyor rollers. In addition, topping up the salt bath is a hazardous operation and needs to be kept to a minimum for safety reasons.

Two air knives mounted above the conveyor blow the water out of the buckets in a much shorter time allowing production to continue quickly.
