Rubber vulcanizing autoclaves play a crucial role in the rubber industry, transforming natural rubber into a vulcanized, cured, and cross-linked product. These autoclaves, also known as vulcanizers, not only cater to rubber but can also be employed for curing plastics. Depending on the type of rubber, the vulcanization process can range from room temperature for silicones to over 170°C for tires.
Vulcanization is a vital chemical process that enhances the elastomeric properties of rubber and other natural compounds. It effectively increases elasticity and reduces plasticity, thereby improving various physical and performance characteristics such as resilience, tensile strength, viscosity, hardness, and weather resistance.
Rubber vulcanizing autoclaves enable rubber manufacturers to efficiently convert natural rubber and plastic into cured parts and products. These autoclaves can utilize live internal steam, a combination of live steam and hot air, or solely hot air for the vulcanization process. They are particularly useful for curing items like tires and hoses that may not be suitable for standard press-based compression molding.

Vulcanizing autoclaves are designed to cater to a range of vulcanization requirements, each variant offering unique features. Some models feature indirect heat transfer systems, utilizing a heat exchanger to evenly distribute heat from an external source within the autoclave's working envelope. In contrast, direct heat transfer autoclaves have heating elements integrated within the unit itself. Heat generation methods can vary, including electric, steam, gas, or thermal oil sources.
