Product Specifications & Design Capabilities
We have extensive knowledge and experience in the design and manufacture of rubber moulded products that are custom designed in all standard and high-performance elastomers such as Natural Rubber, Silicon, Viton, Polyacrylic, and more.
A large number of in-house tools and moulds are constantly designed and manufactured for all our moulded rubber parts, including: Bellows, Boots, Dampers, Slider chains, Cap noise assemblies, and custom engine gaskets.
Precision Moulded Seals
Automotive Bellows & Boots
Engine Dampers & Mountings
Principal Moulding Methods
Our plants deploy the three primary modern moulding techniques, engineered to match production volume, part complexity, and dimensional tolerance:
1. Compression Moulding
FBT has years of experience supplying compression moulded rubber parts, which can range from simple profiles such as rubber seals to complex parts like slider chains and cap noise assemblies. Our focus is to ensure that the most cost-effective and reliable moulding technique is used. This is achieved by minimizing scrap and defects during various stages, including designing the mould with engineered venting to guarantee that air traps and flash defects do not affect the integrity of your parts.
2. Injection Moulding
Large components and high-precision components are manufactured using the injection moulding method. Injection moulding is ideal for multi-cavity moulds and is capable of producing high volumes of identical components per cycle. Injection moulding allows moulding parameters — such as injection pressure, melt temperature, and clamp tonnage — to be precisely controlled with digital CNC repeatability.
3. Transfer Moulding
Transfer moulding is deployed when characteristics such as superior surface finish, tight dimensional stability, and uniform mechanical properties (obtained in compression molding) combined with the higher automation capability and clean cavities of injection molding are required.
