In the diverse fields of modern industry and daily life, silicone products made from environmentally friendly silicone raw materials are playing an increasingly critical role due to their excellent performance and diverse uses. There are a wide range of such products, from the food and pharmaceutical industries related to people's livelihood and health, to the electronic field that represents the frontier of science and technology, from the industrial system that supports the national economy, to the textile industry that is closely related to life, silicone products are everywhere.

They are all produced by machines, and the differences between them are mainly reflected in the way the products are formed and the unique process. Among the many molding methods of silicone raw materials, extrusion molding, compression molding, drip molding and injection molding are particularly common, let's focus on the extrusion process of silicone products.
 
The production process of extruded silicone products usually relies on professional extruders to complete. Under the precise mechanical operation of the extruder, the silicone is gradually plasticized and extruded. In general, the extruded silicone presents a long strip of tubular form, which gives it a high degree of flexibility, and can be freely cut according to actual needs to adapt to the use of different scenarios.

Due to its excellent chemical stability, biocompatibility and resistance to high and low temperatures, extruded silicone products are widely used in the field of medical devices and food machinery. In hospitals, all kinds of silicone tubes are used in key links such as infusion and drainage to ensure the safety and comfort of patients. In food machinery, silicone sealing strips, silicone sealing rings and other components effectively ensure the tightness and hygiene standards of equipment, and build a strong line of defense for food safety.
 
Silicone extrusion is popular for a number of significant reasons. During the production process, the extruder screw rotates continuously and steadily, like a skilled blender, to deeply mix and plasticize the silicone material. After this delicate process, the extruded rubber semi-finished products reach a higher standard in terms of quality, the texture is denser, and the internal structure is more uniform, thus laying a solid foundation for the high performance of the subsequent products.

From an application point of view, the extrusion process can be used in a wide range of applications. Manufacturers only need to change the die according to different needs, and they can easily extrude a variety of silicone rubber profiles with complex cross-sectional shapes. Not only that, it can also efficiently press the mold preformed semi-finished products, which greatly expands the design space and application possibilities of the product. In terms of production efficiency, the speed advantage of extruded products is very prominent. The rapid extrusion process greatly improves the production efficiency, which not only fits the rhythm of large-scale industrial production, but also helps to realize automated production, reduce labor costs, and improve the stability and consistency of production.

It is worth mentioning that extrusion is not limited by length, which perfectly solves the problem of making ultra-long products that cannot be molded due to the limited size of the equipment. Whether it is a sealing silicone strip for large industrial pipes or an extra-long silicone tube for special occasions, the extrusion process can easily cope with the diverse needs of customers.
