NFM IDDON are recognized world leaders in the design and manufacturer of process machinery for the extrusion and curing of silicone rubber profiles, hoses and wire insulation.

Working closely with material manufacturers, we have an in-depth understanding of the process requirements across the broad range of silicone grades.

The latest generation of "SILCURE" Extrusion Systems provide the optimum in process efficiency and control.

The modular approach to machinery design and line integration ensures that the most appropriate configuration of machinery is available to suit individual customer requirements.

Extruders with screw diameter range from 300mm to 150mm with L/D ration of 10:1 (12:1 on larger size machines) are designed specifically for the processing of silicone compounds. These machines provide highly efficient cooling suitable for the most heat sensitive polymers. The unique screw design and precision drive control ensures exact output stability across a wide screw speed range.

Hot Boxes provide the high intensity heating to initiate the cure. These machines utilize the latest in electrical energy implementation and may employ either infrared or radiant heaters. Operating temperatures in excess of 800°C can be attained and with the use of multi-zone heating the correct balance of heat can be applied about the most complicated profiles. Standard units are available in length of 750mm, 1000mm, 1750mm, and 2500mm. Hot boxes can be mounted either horizontally or vertically depending on he process requirements.

Extension tunnels are used to maintain the cure temperature without over heating the products.  Horizontal units and vertical units are available with a range of standard and optional features.  Horizontal flat belt extension tunnels utilize either Teflon coated PTFE or stainless steel belts with automatic belt tensioning and tracking systems.  Typical operating temperatures are between 250 and 350°C.

Hot boxes and Extension Tunnels are designed for easy access to the heat chamber for threading up of the profile or hose.  Fully insulated and interlocked panels provide full operator safety.

A complete range of specially designed line ancillaries are available which can be operated independently or be fully integrated into the control system.  These include low tension caterpillar type haul-off units, capstans, single and twin head winders, high speed cutters and various types of cooling units.

Electrical control and line integration plays a key role in ensuring overall plant efficiency, quality control and fully functionality for special applications.  We have developed a PLC system which incorporates the latest in drive, temperature and process control with high resolution touch screen operator interface.  The basic modules are used for the machinery functionality and these can be further extended to incorporate gauging, product temperature and quality functions.

Quality and Value

All Extrusion systems supplied by NFM Iddon are subjected to rigorous and thorough pre-delivery testing and quality checks.  Customers are encouraged to attend the factory prior to dispatch to witness first hand the equipment standards.  Throughout the manufacturing stages open communication channels are established with all relevant parties, this ensures complete understanding of all aspects of the contract and helps build the levels of confidence required in today's supply chain partnership.
