Elastomers - Import export

In the area of elastomer technology, the Zimmer Group uses the most modern production processes to manufacture sophisticated workpieces from elastomers. In addition to the transfer molding process, in which the elastomer is placed in a mold, pressed into shape with a die and vulcanized under pressure and heat, we also use the injection transfer molding process. Here, the starting materials are pressed into the mold on an injection molding machine and vulcanize out there. With these two processes, we process a wide range of elastomers such as NBR, silicone, EPDM, FPM or polyurethane. In terms of quantities as well as dimensions, the sky's the limit, because we can manufacture almost any quantity required, from special solutions in quantities of one to medium-sized small batches and large series of more than 10,000 units.

In the cryogenic blasting process, an enrichment of rubber and plastic waste powder takes place due to fine abrasion during the treatment procedure. Thus the performance and processing time of the blasting-media will deteriorate and decrease its jet-energy. In our cryognic deflashing machines, the blasting-media is primary screened by the treatment drum perforation, however, after a long operating time the amount of rubber and plastic waste powder increases. In order to guarantee a constant, statistically secure and economic processing, this powder has to be removed periodically from the blasting-media. Our automatically working blasting-media recovery machine consists of a suction & drying system and a vibrating-screen unit. The used blasting-media has to be aspirated manually from the deflashing machine. The drying of the polluted wet and cold media takes place in the suction tank and the cleaning by screening with final separation into waste powder, waste media & re-usable media,

Cellular rubber made by KOPP is the ideal material for sealing, insulating, insulating, dampening and as rattle protection. Cellular rubber is a porous, closed-cell rubber quality that is available in various strengths and densities. It is manufactured using the so-called expansion process - based on natural and/or synthetic rubbers, such as EPDM and other synthetic elastomers. Cellular rubber is airtight and waterproof and therefore (unlike foam rubber) does not require an outer skin to be used as a seal. From our KOEPPcell® range you can get the following cellular rubber or elastomer types in our usual high quality at extremely interesting prices: • Natural rubber (NR-L, NR-S) • EPDM (EPDM-L*, EPDM-S*, EPDM- SUW*, EPDM-W*) * all also peroxidically cross-linked • Chloroprene rubber (CR-L, CR-S) • EPDM-PE blend • EPDM-CR blend (EPDM-CR-L, EPDM-CR-S ) • mixed-cell (semi-closed) EPDM (EPDM-SC) Technical properties Can withstand a wide range of requirements

Elastomer sleeves are available on request for Franke LSA slim bearings. They are used for tolerance compensation and for vibration decoupling. The smooth running can be significantly increased by an elastomer sleeve. Elastomer sleeves for the LSA 6/8 also offer additional sealing of the bearing due to the overlapping of the edges. Elastomer sleeves for Franke slim bearings are available from stock. They can be ordered when you buy a slim bearing and are then included in the delivery. For series production, elastomer sleeves are available by the meter for self-cutting. We recommend gluing the ends with cyanoacrylate glue (e.g. Loctite 406). The use of the elastomer sleeve slightly reduces the stiffness and accuracy of the bearing. The basic static load rating of the bearing also decreases slightly. We would be happy to advise you on the design and construction.

Siliconisation or other coating of elastomers is possible on option.

Elastomers are macro-molecular, organic substances with little cross-linked structure. As a result, they do not melt, are insoluble, partly subject to swelling and are elastic. Elastomers are based on rubber which is processed into various kinds of synthetic rubber, depending on the monomer. The various kinds of synchetic rubberdiffer slightlys in their properties so that they are used for different applications with regard to temperature, hardness, elasticity etc. In addition to generally common mouldings such as Orings, our delivery range also includes customized mouldedarticles, profi le cords, punched or cut seals manufactured to specifi cations or to drawings, plates or rollers. Elastomer materials: - NBR - EPDM - CR - CSM - FPM - VQM - NR - EPDM

Roller chains with elastomer profiles are ideal for applicationswhere fragile goods require gentle conveyor handling. ELITE chains are used for transporting goods that should not be scratched, such as coated or thin sheet metal, planed timber planks or pipes. The material iwis uses for the ELITE product range is nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with a hardness of 80 Shore A. NBR offers the optimum combination of cohesive friction, abrasion resistance and durability. Other profile types are possible for special applications and can be supplied on request. ELITE highlights: • All ELITE chain plates 1 are tapered and shot-blasted; production processes such as fine blanking and ball-drifting ensure a particularly high contact ratio • Seamless, cold-extruded, shot-blasted rollers 2 with extremely regular wall thickness • The standard rubber profile 3 is nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with a hardness of 80 Shore A.
