Rubber Extrusions for the Industrial Manufacturing Industry
 

ELBEX is proud to offer high quality, custom rubber extrusions for the manufacturing industry to help absorb movement and prevent structural damage. Our engineers will work hand in hand with you to find the right solution for your project, and choose materials that meet regulatory standards and any applicable codes.

Our rubber extrusions are most commonly used in the industrial and manufacturing industry as buffers to reduce movement between surfaces, greatly reducing the risk of structural damage. In addition, our rubber extrusions are frequently used to seat and seal fenestration systems and facades. Industrial and Manufacturing engineers must choose the right materials to ensure lasting structural integrity. Our engineers can work with you to select the right materials in regards to your specific project. Contact us today to let us know what you need for your project!

Applications in the Manufacturing Industry

Our rubber extrusions play a vital role in the performance of a wide range of industrial and manufacturing systems. Our products can be manufactured to withstand extreme environments that manufacturing and industrial environments are subject to, including direct sunlight and dramatic changes in temperature that can cause expansion and contraction. Whether you need a rubber extrusion for a specific product you’re manufacturing, or for the actual factory building itself, our rubber extrusions fit the bill.

  • Pipe ramps
  • Glazing system profiles
  • Silicone sheeting
  • Expansion joints

Bulb Seals for Maximum Sealing Power

Bulb Seals are designed to track into a channel and fill a void or gap, creating a seal. They consist of a mounting mechanism and a bulb section that does the actual sealing.

Depending on the intended application and surrounding conditions, many different materials can be used. But no matter the material, our manufacturing processes yield a strong, durable bulb seal that stays in place and delivers reliable sealing power.

Bulb Seal Applications

Bulb seals are most commonly used around doors, windows, and hatches to provide sealing and insulation. This gives them their alternate name, “trim seals.” They are also sometimes used in industrial mixing and processing applications in which water, dust, or extreme heat need to be sealed off and contained to a specific area or vessel.

  • Automotive - Vehicles are exposed to the elements, and bulb seals can be used to seal off key components to protect the interior.
  • Residential - Bulb seals are often used as weatherstripping around doors and windows.
  • Process Industries - The pharmaceutical and food processing industries often use bulb seals to seal the doors and hatches of industrial mixing and drying equipment.
