Leading Power Distribution Company Chooses Custom Rubber Corp.
Custom Rubber Corp. assisted this customer when they were in need of a more dependable source for their molded rubber components. The customer shipped multiple molds to Custom Rubber Corp., and within weeks, the customer had parts. As a result of the first run, some specifications for the rubber material that were not on the blueprints were identified - in this particular case, it was confirmed that the rubber boot had to be non-conductive.
Custom Rubber Corp. quickly identified a non-conductive rubber compound and manufactured parts, but also assisted the customer in developing the proper ASTM rubber material callout to add to their print so that such a mistake would not happen again. After a short while, it also became apparent that the existing tooling was not capable of making consistant product without unacceptable levels of fallout. Custom Rubber Corp. designed a new production tool that optimized the productivity while keeping the tooling investment in line with the annual volume requirements for the molded rubber boot. The molded rubber boot is used as a dust protector on overhead power distribution - raceways, busways - designed for use in the harshest environments.
