High quality production technology
1
CALANDER LINE
We produce our rubber using rubber mixtures from suppliers that guarantee required quality and parameters, including certificates.
We first process the rubber mix on a line of two-cylinder machines that are unique and enable us to prepare rubber sheets, that make a basis for a quality product.
We leave these rubber sheets to mature for some time and they continue further into the vulcanisation process.
2
ROTOCURE PRESS
The vulcanisation process takes place in the rotocured presses. Those allow us to produce different thickness (up to 15 mm), width (up to 1400 mm) with variable design or top layer.
Our rotocured presses are managed by modern software, with which we have full control over the process including data backup.
3
INSPECTION AND CUTTING TABLE
After the vulcanisation process, the rolls are placed on the control table, where edges are trimmed for required width and the roll is divided into individual lengths. During this process we check the correct thickness and make a visual assessment, so that final goods is guarynteed in the required quality.
We package the final product into a protective foil and move them onto paletts, or onto paletts with protective extension and attach them securely. At this stage the product is ready to be delivered to the customer.

In 1958, the company Buzuluk in Komárov, Czech Republic, begins to manufacture the first high quality machines designed to manufacture rubber by rotocuring.

Unbeatable rubber industry
Since its first establishment in 1905 in Bratislava, rubber production goes through all history crises (economic crises, plant fires, changes of owners, moving factories, second world wars).
