Hannover, Germany -Berstorff GmbH has delivered a complete line for the manufacture of rubber profiles for the automotive industry to a leading company in China. The special challenge of this project was to develop a line concept for the manufacture of profiles consisting of up to five different components.
The profiles, which are used for example for Volkswagen Shanghai, consist of the following five components: compact rubber for the profile body, foamed rubber for the hose, coloured compact rubber made of EPDM for the transition to the internal roof lining, a steel core for enhanced stability, and finally two Kevlar threads as textile tension elements.
The scope of delivery, for which Berstorff was responsible as sole supplier, included three extruders with crosshead as well as the extensive downstream equipment, such as shock module, microwave system, caterpillar take-off, preliminary and post-profiling units and cutting machine with depositing system for the cut components.
