For maximum uniformity, re-soften the elastomer on a two-roll mill at time of use. Extrude the elastomer through an unheated die to make rod, tubing and coated wire. Vulcanize after extrusion by passing the material through a horizontal or vertical heated chamber. The residence time will vary based on the temperature of the chamber and the size ...Web

Rubber is passed through two-roll mills, shredders, granulators. • A particle size of 200 µm can be achieved. • High surface area. • Temperature can reach up to 130°C. • Oxidation of crumb rubber due to heat. • Requires excess water for cooling. Wet grinding • Grinding by mixing water with the crumbs, producing a slurry. •Web

Softening of high consistency materials is most often accomplished with the use of a two-roll mill. For two-part systems, the recommended sequence is to first soften Part B on a cooled two-roll mill followed by the Part A. CAUTION: The temperature of the milled material must be kept as low as possible to give maximum work time.Web

The stress fields in two-roll mills were first carefully discussed by Bergen. 33 Flow processes and material characteristic problems associated with rubber on mills were later described by Tokita and White. 34 These latter authors 35 also discussed how material characteristics, specifically the tearing and crumbling of elastomers, affect mixing ...Web

From the left: roll mill with two rolls and two speed mixers.
