Abstract
The manufacturing technology of the rubber industry is based on a number of key processes and operations, some of which have undergone a continuous evolution since the founding of the first rubber companies. These processes and operations form the building blocks from which a complex and diverse range of manufacturing systems are assembled. For conventional vulcanized rubber products, on which this book concentrates, a sequence of processes and operations is necessary to complete manufacture. It is possible to draw complex generalized flowcharts for the manufacture of typical products, but in the majority of cases these flowcharts can be reduced to three fundamental stages:
