Custom-built to IND-EX specifications, our rubber extruder together with its digital controller is designed to handle jobs that are out-of-range for most manufacturers’ capabilities. Do you have a special job calling for an 18 inch-long extrusion? Do you need an unusual shape produced with precise tolerances? We can handle it. And, naturally, the routine jobs are always routine at IND-EX. No production delays, no surprises—count on reliable quality and performance.

The IND-EX plant also uses a proprietary cure line custom-designed to avoid the limitations of conventional processing. We can produce cord for O-rings, or rubber in other continuous sections, to lengths exceeding 50,000 feet. The only real constraint is how much can fit on a spool.

IND-EX offers superior versatility in finishing your extrusions. Our automated cutting machine can handle larger-size jobs up to 2 ½-inch diameter, compared with a ½-inch limitation for typical cutters, with precise accuracy for lengths ranging from ¼ inch to 600 feet.

We handle routine splices for standard rubber types with ease—and that includes silicone! IND-EX developed and uses a proprietary cement to splice silicone profiles and O-rings without any of the problems that are common elsewhere.

Similarly, we use our own primer, which we produce in-house, for applying pressure-sensitive tape to silicone, rounding out a full complement of rubber-taping options.

We also have specialized machinery for notching your extrusions. It can produce one to six notches or holes per length up to 60 inches in extrusions up to ½ inch by ¼ inch large.

IND-EX’s die-making and part-duplicating capabilities can dramatically cut production lead times. We have our own machine shop fully equipped with lathe, drill presses and grinders. Working from customer blueprints, our die-maker can make a die, run it in and fine tune to precise dimensions—all on-site. Typical turnaround is only two to three days!

We can also give you fast turnaround in creating a blueprint from an existing part using our optical comparator. The projected image of the original part can be used to check tolerance lines of the duplicate, as well as create the blueprint.
