Powering Industry with Precision: Elbex's Custom Rubber Extrusions for Manufacturing & Industrial Needs

July 8, 2024

Manufacturing and industrial applications face a variety of unique challenges, including extreme environments and strict regulatory standards that result in very specific material requirements. Rubber extrusions play a vital role in addressing these needs by absorbing movement, preventing damage, sealing systems, and more. As a leader in providing custom rubber extrusions, you can count on Elbex to create solutions tailored to these manufacturing and industrial needs.


Custom Rubber Extrusions: Engineered for Industrial Performance

Thanks to Elbex’s ability to design and manufacture custom rubber extrusions, you can have confidence that the finished product will be specifically engineered for industrial-grade performance. 


Our rubber extrusions act as buffers to minimize vibration, shock, and movement between surfaces, absorbing movement to prevent damage. This can be especially useful in creating airtight and watertight seals for windows, doors, and other building elements, as effective sealing fenestration systems can improve energy efficiency and prevent leaks.


As part of this process, Elbex helps select materials capable of withstanding the harsh conditions often found in industrial settings, including extreme temperature fluctuations, sunlight, and chemical exposure.


Elbex’s Expertise in Industrial Applications

The Elbex team has decades of experience creating custom rubber extrusions for industrial applications. This enables us to effectively determine the design specifications and materials that work best for the needs of your application. At the same time, our team is able to work alongside industrial engineers to develop solutions that meet specific project requirements and regulatory standards.


Featured Products: Elbex’s Industrial Rubber Extrusion Solutions

Elbex is capable of producing a wide range of industrial rubber extrusion solutions. For example, our pipe seals and ramps protect and seal pipes and cables from damage in industrial settings, while extruded rubber expansion joints accommodate movement, reduce vibration, and prevent damage. 


Gaskets and seals provide water resistance, air barriers, and vibration elimination, while extruded rubber glazing systems create a tight seal for windows and doors that improves energy efficiency and sound insulation. These and other applications provide significant value in industrial settings.

Freezer and refrigerator door gaskets play an essential role in ensuring that these appliances are energy efficient, preserve food, and prevent frost buildup. Worn or damaged gaskets can result in significant energy loss, as well as temperature fluctuations that lead to food spoilage – which can prove costly in both residential and commercial kitchens. As a leading manufacturer of high-quality, durable air barrier seals for refrigerators and freezers, Elbex ensures that your appliances deliver the quality performance your own customers deserve. The Importance of Airtight Seals in Refrigeration Properly functioning gaskets are vital in any quality refrigerator or freezer. Properly functioning gaskets prevent the escape of cold air and the entry of warm, humid air. This reduces the compressor’s workload and lowers the appliance’s energy consumption. Keeping out humid air also prevents frost buildup inside freezers, which is a common maintenance issue. Even more importantly, maintaining consistent internal temperatures extends the shelf life and quality of stored food, preventing spoilage. By reducing energy consumption and food waste, airtight seals can greatly lower costs. Elbex’s Expertise in Refrigerator and Freezer Door Gaskets At Elbex, we bring extensive experience with refrigerator and freezer door gaskets to create airtight seals specifically designed for your appliances. We use our knowledge of various elastomers to select materials like flexible PVC, TPE, and silicone that remain flexible at low temperatures, resist tearing and wear, and are food-grade compliant. We also use state-of-the-art extrusion and molding processes that ensure tight tolerances, consistent quality, and superior sealing performance. Our airtight barriers are designed for durability and longevity, even for demanding or unique applications. We can also collaborate with your manufacturing team to develop custom gasket profiles that match the specific requirements of your refrigerator and freezer models and their door configurations. Benefits of Choosing Elbex’s Refrigerator and Freezer Door Gaskets When you work with Elbex, you can have confidence that our precision-designed seals will deliver consistent, long-lasting performance. From materials selection to design, our gaskets will resist cracking, tearing, and compression set, even on frequently used refrigerators and freezers. We also ensure that our gaskets are easy to install and replace, minimizing downtime when maintenance is needed. And with our customization options, we can tailor everything from aesthetics to functionality based on your specific needs. At Elbex, we are committed to providing high-quality, custom-designed refrigerator door gaskets and air barrier seals for refrigerators and freezers. As an appliance manufacturer or service provider, you can count on Elbex to help you achieve optimal refrigeration performance. Contact us today to learn more.
