GERLACH presents a fully new developed machine concept on the K 2019

Gerlach Maschinenbau GmbH from Nettetal, Germany, is the technologically leading global supplier of microwave, hot-air and infrared systems for the continuous vulcanization of rubber and silicone profiles and hoses. In order to meet this demand also in the coming years, the Gerlach engineers have developed a completely new machine concept and put it into practice for the K 2019 trade fair in Düsseldorf.

This concept represents a milestone in continuous hot air vulcanization. Functional units and vulcanization cavity were separated from each other. The resulting high degree of flexibility will make it possible in future to configure your vulcanization machine even more specifically in terms of energy requirements and functionality depending on the respective rubber product.

It is not only the design resulting from this separation that is different. At the same time, the autonomous design of the individual modules opens completely new possibilities for channel design with regard to the sequence of the selected modules.

In the actual vulcanization channel, our joint research with the University of Paderborn (as a reminder here the summary of the research results) led to a groundbreaking innovation in channel design. The geometry of the inner channel can be adapted to the profile to be processed, reproducibly via recipe management.

The already good 360° air injection and extraction were additionally optimized on the basis of these simulations and thus offer a higher degree of efficiency.

The new concept also includes a completely new solution for the integration of microwaves of different qualities, intensities and numbers at any point in a vulcanization line.

The unique use of semiconductor microwave technology for vulcanization excitation in a continuous hot air system is particularly noteworthy.

A further highlight is an app-based control via tablet, which you can see at exhibition. https://www.gerlach-machinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Gerlach_Vulkanisationstechnologie_EN_2019.pdf

Here you can download the data sheet available at the fair to get a first impression. We will be even more pleased if you visit us at our booth D55 in hall 15 and let yourself be infected by our enthusiasm for the new generation of machines.
