When standard, off-the-shelf rubber components will not meet the requirements of your equipment or application, custom rubber fabricated parts can provide the exact size, shape, material and performance characteristics required.
Global Rubber Products provides industrial customers throughout Ontario with access to custom fabricated rubber components for machinery, equipment, maintenance, repair and OEM applications.
Custom rubber fabrication can involve cutting, slitting, die cutting, machining, vulcanizing, splicing and other processes to transform rubber sheet, sponge, foam, extruded profiles and other elastomeric materials into finished components.
Whether you require a single replacement component, a short production run or ongoing quantities for manufacturing and maintenance operations, custom fabrication can provide a practical solution when standard parts simply do not fit the application.
Custom rubber components perform many different functions throughout industrial and manufacturing facilities.
Rubber components can create seals between mating surfaces to help prevent leakage of:
• Water
• Oil
• Air
• Chemicals
• Dust
• Process fluids
Rubber naturally absorbs and isolates vibration. Fabricated rubber pads, bushings and isolators can help reduce vibration transmitted from machinery into equipment frames, floors and surrounding structures.
Reducing metal-to-metal contact with rubber components can help decrease operational noise produced by machinery and equipment.
Rubber bumpers, stops and pads can absorb impact energy and protect machinery, walls, equipment and products from damage.
Rubber liners, strips and wear pads can be placed between moving or contacting surfaces to reduce wear.
Certain elastomers can also provide electrical insulation in appropriately designed applications.
Custom seals can help protect machinery, electronics and mechanical components from dust, moisture and environmental contamination.
Rubber washers, spacers and pads can help maintain positioning while also providing cushioning between mechanical components.
Custom fabrication provides several potential advantages for industrial companies.
Components can be produced according to your required dimensions rather than adapting equipment to fit a standard catalogue part.
Rubber compounds can be selected according to oil, chemical, weather, temperature or abrasion exposure.
Having the correct replacement part available can help maintenance departments get equipment back into operation.
Custom fabrication can provide alternatives when original replacement parts are difficult or impossible to source.
Parts can be fabricated to the dimensions required for the application.
Depending on the manufacturing process, custom components can support development work, short production runs and larger ongoing requirements.
Custom pads, seals, machine components, gaskets, bumpers and wear parts are used throughout production machinery and automated equipment.
Specialty rubber and silicone components may be used in food-production equipment where suitable materials and appropriate specifications are required.
Rubber components are widely used for sealing, vibration isolation, impact protection, gasketing and assembly operations.
Farm machinery and agricultural processing equipment commonly require replacement seals, pads, gaskets, hoses, bumpers and other fabricated rubber components.
Construction machinery and equipment use rubber for isolation, protection, sealing and wear resistance.
Heavy-duty rubber components can provide impact, vibration and abrasion protection in material-handling and processing equipment.
Paper mills use rubber components throughout rollers, pumps, piping, production equipment and material-handling systems.
Rubber gaskets, seals and fabricated components can be used throughout pumps, piping systems, tanks and treatment equipment.
Maintenance departments often encounter machinery for which an original replacement part is no longer readily available. In these circumstances, a custom fabricated component may provide an economical replacement solution.
For more than 50 Years, Global Rubber Products has worked with industrial, manufacturing, service-trade and agricultural customers throughout Ontario.
