“While others are still discussing why something can’t be done, we are already working on a solution.”

We celebrated our 80th anniversary atMöllering in 2012, and we will continueto preserve and maintain a corporateculture based on trust and competencewith which employees, customers andsuppliers can identify.

We will also strive to keep pace withthe never-ending process of change –with the help of highly motivated, well qualified employees, state-of-the-artproduction technology, creativity and

our capacity for market-oriented innovation. We will keep you updated in our “News” section at www.moellering.de.

As a family business and a member of the Thenhausen Group, we face these challenges and responsibilities alongside the Hiri and TSW companies.

All of our efforts are consistently devoted to the goal of maximum customer satis-faction – which we regard as ideal customer closeness.

“We do not view customer closeness in terms of distance but above all as a principle of corporate philosophy.”

Every new product begins with an idea. Realizing an idea from the prototype phase to serial production is one of the tasks of our mechanical production and processing section. That is where semi-finished rubber and plastic products are drilled, turned, milled, ground, pun-ched, etc.When it comes to producing even the most complicated articles from drawings

without forms or moulds as quickly as possible, we call on our specialists – each of whom is a skilled expert in his field with a record of self-reliance and dedication to the highest standards.

Möllering – a strong partner from start to finish. For more Information visitwww.moellering.de.

MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE

MANUAL PRODUCTIONMechanical production methods for moulded parts and prototypes produced without forms or moulds

8 9

Moulded rubber parts provide ideal sup-port for sealing, insulating and bearing applications. These parts are produced with the aid of standard production me-thods, including compression, trans-fer moulding and injection moulding with specially designed tools. We use these methods to process both standard compounds such as EPDM, NBR, NR, SBR and Silicon as well as special compounds, including Vi-ton® (FKM), AU/EU and HNBR.In selecting suitable materials we also take into account such factors as tem-peratures, media, ambient influen-ces, mechanical wear and tear, etc.

to which the finished products will be ex-posed.We achieve this by modifying standard compounds with respect to glide charac-teristics, abrasion and resistance to tem-perature, solvents and chemicals.We also use composite materials – also known as 2-component-materials. Examples include metal-reinforced rub-ber materials and Teflon or Graphite fil-lings added to improve glide characteris-tics.For more Information visitwww.moellering.de.Viton® is a registered trademark of DuPont

Does your application required custom-made parts consisting of cellular or solid elas-tomer or plastic? We guarantee precision cutting through even the strongest materials with water pressures of up to 5,000 bar. Even the most intricate geometries pose no prob-lems for this process. As no tools are needed, we can produce both large and small batches.

WATER-JET TECHNOLOGYMaterial cutting methods using high-pressure water jets

MOULDED PLASTIC PARTSMoulded thermoplastic parts produced by injection and cooling in a mould

Plastic products have been a part of our daily life for years – not only as cost-effec-tive substitutes for metal components but due to their own intrinsic proper-ties: excellent formability, relatively low weight, recyclability and various technical characteristics, such as elasticity, the e-module and electrical behaviour.

Familiar materials in the thermoplast fa-mily include PA, TPE, TPU, PVC, ABS,PP, PC, PS and PET. These materials

can be processed in pure form or in mo-dified variations, e.g. reinforced with fib-reglass or glass beads.

In addition, the 2-component injection moulding technology is ideally suited to the realization of combinations of indivi-dual materials.


14 15

Increasingly demanding requirements for moulded elastomer and thermoplast parts used in practically all industrial fields have brought our own machine and tool manufacturing department to the le-vel it has achieved today.From product-based consulting to in-house engineering design to production using state-of-the-art CNC-controlled machine tools, we offer complete solutions for every problem.

You define the requirements – we develop the most economically and technically effective approach.

GIESSTECHNIKMethods for producing moulded parts from flowable materials thatharden without pressure in the mould

In additional to our manually produced and moulded homogeneous elastomers we also offer our customers the benefits of our cas-ting technology for so-called cast elasto-mers.The most important cast elastomers are Polyurethane and Vulkollan®, which we process in a hardness range of 20° to 98° Shore A. Typical applications include roller and core coverings, cylinder coatings, con-sumable parts, rotor blades and other pre-fabricated parts.

We also employ our casting technology to produce sheet goods with special hardness ratings below 70 Shore A for special pro-ducts which are not available in standard versions.

The use of low-cost casting forms enables us to produce nearly all geometries for our customers.

High-quality hoses with or without linings have become an indispensable part of everyday life. Regardless of the media conveyed and regardless of the hose ma-terial selected elastomer, plastic or a combination of both: We offer you the ideal solution for every purpose.

And if no product is available for your specific application, we will develop one that meets your needs (e.g. 4th genera-tion plasticizer-free solvent spiral hoses)

– from the wide range of materials and production methods we have at our dis-posal.

And we work with a number of different production methods, such as extrusion, with or without mandrel, manual proces-sing, braiding or winding.



HOSE TECHNOLOGYFlexible lines for the conveyance of solid, liquid and gaseous media

20 21


EXTRUSIONMethod used in the production of elastomerand plastic hoses and profiles

From profiles to cords, from machine hoses to hollow section profiles: We use all standard elastomers, plastics and TPEs in both solid and cellular form, for example as continuous profiles or custo-mised as sealing frames.

We use all standard elastomers, plastics and TPEs in both solid and cellular form.

We also rely on our two-component technology, which enables us to realize combinations of different materials.

FOAM TECHNOLOGYGas bubbles enclosed within solid, elastic or liquid walls

Moulded parts made of cellular elasto-mers and plastics offer the significant advantages of low weight, good shape recovery and excellent heat insulation.

Foam technology at Möllering encom-passes the production, processing and finishing of a wide range of foams.We work with CNC controlled water-jet and splitting systems and use manual processing methods employed by our production specialists.

We process a number of different foams, including cellular rubber, foam rub-ber, sponge rubber, silicone foam as well as PE and PU foams.

These materials are processed primari-ly in the production of seals, core and roller coverings as well as prefabrica-ted parts and semi-finished products in many different fields of industry.

We cut, punch, coat, laminate and glue foam materials and equip them with self-adhesive tapes designed spe-cifically for your application on request.

LOGISTICS AND QUALITY MANAGEMENTIT AND EMPLOYEES

Quality service is the red thread that runs through our entire value chain. It begins with effective training and continuing education for our employees. We regard vocational training as a key factor in the future availability skilled personnel. And we welcome that responsibility.Our employees are also supported by modern IT systems that enable them to process all standard formats and use customer specific portals.In addition to the most common office applications, we use DWG, DXF and CATIA for two-dimensional drawings and STEP and IGES for three dimensional applications.Within our logistics chain, we rely on Kanban, Just-in-time, EDI and other

modern logistics concepts to maintain warehouse inventories which can be cyc-led into your production schedule through precisely timed deliveries. This enables us to ensure you liquidity and supply reli-ability – coupled with favourable unit pri-ces based on larger production lots.And we are proud as well to mention that we have received a number of quality awards for reliable delivery from our cus-tomers.All processes in our company are moni-tored by a quality management system that has also become a part of our eve-ryday routine.Certification in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 is the logical consequence of this policy.
