Compounding area is like a HEART
of Rubber Units and it is the pumping area
of component quality. So proper care should
be taken while compounding. The main Quality
aspect is decided by this area. If this
area is ok every thing should become ok.
The operators
working in this area are well trained and
most experienced. Proper compounding recipe
is made and tested in lab for customers
requirements. The recipe is displayed in
mixing area. Raw material specifications
are made for incoming raw materials and
every lot is inspected, verified with test
report given by approved suppliers along
with every lot and approved as per sampling
plan before issuing to mixing.
The approved
raw materials are issued to production based
on production indent. Another critical area
in mixing is raw material weighing. The
weighing of ingredients are controlled by
computer aided Batch Weight Controller
Machine. The ingredients are weighed
as per compounding recipe. The batches are
mixed as per mixing sequence provided. Master
batches are mixed in kneader and final batches
are mixed in Open mill adjacently.
Distinct
codes are given for every batches for traceability.Test
buttons and test slabs are cured as per
standard provided and properly tested for
specifications as per plan. The processing
behavior of the batches are confirmed in
Rheometer. Once the batch is passed after
proper ageing it will be warmed and feeded
in Barwell preformer.In
barwell preformer air inside the compound
is removed by using vacuum and slugs are
cut for required shape and weight to avoid
more wastage.
