Start a Automatic Rubber Latex Dipping Plant

(133). Start a Automatic Rubber Latex Dipping Plant
This automatic latex dipping plant was designed and invented for manufacturing latex products. The latex dipping machine can produce a variety of items such as gloves, swimming caps, balloons and condoms by different types of dipping equipment with particular types of moulds. Many countries throughout Southeast Asia and South America are abundant in natural rubber latex. All these countries are fully utilized their facilities for latex products, but the maximum outputs of dipped products are Malaysia & Thailand. However, apart from natural latex, the synthetic latex, such as nitrile, neoprem and PVC are also being developed for making different types of gloves but different types of chemical additives are also needed. Besides natural rubber latex or synthetic rubber, other auxiliary ingredients, such as vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, activators, retarders, auto-oxidants, stabilizers, thickeners, and coagulants are also required to mix with latex for appropriate quality products. 
The result of the chemical reaction brought about by mixing these natural and synthetic products together is a very high quality rubber latex which can be used to produce the various products commonly used for medical and industrial purposes as well as for everyday purposes. 
The machinery used in the plant outlined in this proposal is of the latest design. The ease with which this high performance, low power consumption, automated machinery can be used make the need for operators minimal. 
The plant itself was designed by companies with 30 years of experience in mechanical engineering for companies with vast reservoirs of knowledge and experience selecting to the use of rubber, chemicals, and their effects on one another. Though other countries may offer plants of a similar nature, none can match the quality or price of a Taiwan made rubber latex dipping plant. Moreover, the service offered by companies in the Republic of China make the establishment of this plant an ideal investment 

General Processing Information 
Automatic latex dipping products (surgical/examination glove) 


Process Description 

• The rubber or rubber latex is mixed with the organic and inorganic materials needed. However, before mixing, the chemicals are ground, finished and dissolved in water. 
• After the latex solution has been mixed, it is placed into the barrel of the automatic dipping machine. The dipping process is completely controlled by a microcomputer. Different products are made simply by changing the molds of machine models. 
• After edge rolling and spray flocking, the product is vulcanized in a high temperature oven. 
• After vulcanization, the product is placed in water, which separates it from the mold. The empty mold is then cleaned, cooled, and reused in the cyclical operation. 
• The product is then chlorinated and cleaned to enhance its appearance. 
• The product is then vulcanized for a second time to increase its quality and durability. 
• Each product is then inspected by the quality control machine, which rejects any defective merchandise. 
• Products passing quality control inspection are forwarded the edge-trimming machine, which removes any excess material caused during the dipping process. 
• The products are then automatically packaged and sealed in bags. 
• The finished products are then either stored or shipped to their final destination.

Plant Description 
From 3,000pcs~10,000pcs/hr depends the investor’s market requirement and available of plant space.

Raw materials: Natural rubber latex or synthetic rubber is the main ingredient used for making rubber latex dipped products. Other ingredients such as vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, activators, readers, auto oxidants, stabilizers, thickeners, and coagulatants are also required to make high quality latex dipped products.
