Calendering

OneMonroe Custom Manufacturing offers top-of-the-line calendering services, designed to meet the specific needs of various industries. Calendering involves the precise process of forcing rubber, softened by heat, through two to five counter-rotating rollers. These rollers compact the rubber as it passes through, with the thickness determined by the gap between the cylinders. Once the rubber sheet passes through the rollers, it is cooled and typically spooled for further use. This meticulous process ensures consistent, high-quality output, making it an essential solution for applications requiring durable and uniform rubber sheets.

Calendering by OneMonroe is widely used across numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods. In the automotive sector, calendered rubber is often used for making tires, belts, and gaskets, providing the necessary durability and flexibility. The aerospace industry benefits from calendered materials for sealing and insulation applications, where precision and performance are crucial. Construction applications include roofing membranes and flooring, where robustness and resilience are paramount. Consumer goods, such as inflatable products and waterproof clothing, also rely on the high-quality sheets produced through calendering.
