Rubber Isostatic Pressing (RIP) Equipment

What is the RIP Method?

Rubber Isostatic Pressing (RIP) is a method to mold powder filled into the rubber mold by generating isostatic pressure by presssing the rubber mold set in a metal mold with a punch. This equipment is simpler, safer and more secure compared with CIP due to no use of a liquid pressure medium. According to data, the compression properties of RIP are almost equal to CIP.

Features

• Fixing of the periphery of the rubber mold restrains its deformation, which assures products with high dimensional accuracy.
• Isostatic pressure forming makes the product density uniform.
• Simple structure of the equipment shortens the cycle time and improves productivity. It can also save the cost and the replacing time of metals molds necessary for the conventional presses.
• The attached powder charging unit using the air tapping (AT) method provides uniform and high-density powder charging in a short time even for low fluidity powder.
• Complex-shaped products, for which CIP has difficulties in mass-producing, are available in a short cycle.
• For magnetic powder, orientation of grain direction before compressing makes the magnets more powerful.
