MIXING

In the mixing the different types of rubber and different raw materials are mixed to get

rubber sheet. And they are following formula according the quality of product. There will be

some variation in the belt. So according to the belt we mix the material. The materials used are

Natural Rubber, Artificial Rubber, carbon, oil, acids, chemicals, wax, zinc oxide, sulphur

etc.After taking all these materials they are taking the things to deck room and according to

the formula they are weighing and putting the mix in to roller to get rubber sheet. The mixing

room is called as rubber mill.

BASE

20

According to the order size the fabric cloth which is produced in mill is cut here. Fabric is

a cloth which is used to cover the belt, fabric is first inserted into the machine, it is called Three

Roll fabric calendar in this stage the output is to take the rubber coating to the fabric cloth.

CALENDARING

The machine is called as profile calendaring. The rubber sheet is put in to the profile

calendar. The profile calendar contains a grooved bowl under the bowl can be changing the size

on the basis of requirement. The bowl size is A, B, C, and D when the bowl are insert for final

product.

BUILDING

The machine is called as Profile building. Converting the belt into required size. A

machine contains a cord is should be rolled within the rubber sheet. But group of belts are

produced here called sleeve.

TAPPING

In this process the machine called as profile cutting. In this process group of belts are

produced, here the belts are cut into individual pieces.

FLIPPING

In this process individual belts are covered with fabric. The fabric cloth is coated over the

belt.

CURING

21

In following steps, belts are undergone some building process. Here to make the

complete product. This process is carried down to make the product hard. After flipping process

the belt is wrapped with a fifty meter cloth and this will be subjected to steaming .In the steam

engine steaming the wood ,And is done through vulcanize. Which appears horizontal and steam

will be passed for forty minutes at 130 degree-150 degree Celsius .The belt is attached with

mould and get boiled 30 minutes. In this process 200 belt per process produced. In one mould 24

rings. The mould will be differing according to the size. In the pot curing 3000 belts per day.

In the press curing this will be vertical is appearance, and is done especially for OE

(Original Equipment) the belt is pressed all size and then we get output. In this press curing the

platterns is used. And it is used to make the belt in required size, hard, the shape of the belt. In

the one hour 24 belts will be curing. In this 2000 belts will be produced.

TRIMMING

In flipping some fabrics are not properly attached in the belt, in the process of trimming

the unwanted fabric is trimmed.

DYEING

After the curing process some belts are un-uniform in color, by dyeing all the belts are

painted in uniform color. It is a final stage.HSS machine and reverse cooling process for getting

the perfect belt. In this process4-5 belts per set (7 minutes process time). In per shift 150 belts

dyeing and checking (1/2 hr).

INSPECTION

22

In the inspection it checks the belts whether it is accurate size, width and length. The

main error in the belts are trimming error and flipping error. After the inspection the finished

goods are sent to store room.

PACKAGING

The company’s home appliance products are packed in an attractive cover and the other

product are packaged in the boxes.

QUALITY CONTROL

It checks the quality in raw material and machines are in proper condition or not. The

curing mould is in correct stage.

STORE ROOM

radiators and direct sunlight.

23

Temperatures below 85 degree and relative humidity below 70% are recommended. Store

belts away from ozone producing unguarded fluorescent lights, mercury vapor lights and high

voltage electrical equipment. Don’t store belts near chemicals, oils, solvents, lubricants, or acids.

Belts can be coiled on shelves or hung on pegs. Avoid sharp bend and stresses that can

cause permanent deformation and cracks. Stack belts no higher than 12” to prevent damage to

bottom belts. When hanging, coil longer belts to prevent distortion from belt weight.
