Advanced Mixers: Towards the Industry's Future

Soucy Techno is equipped with 3 mixers, including 1 dedicated to color blending and 2 for rubber and plastic blends, including carbon black. 

Annually, we mix 34 million kilograms (75 million pounds) of rubber and produce over 22 milion kilograms (50 million pounds) of polyethylene.

Expansion on the Horizon

To support our growth, we are implementing a major project for a third rubber mixing line.

This new line will feature cutting-edge technology, propelling us into the future. The first commercial productions on this line are scheduled for early 2026.

What is Mixing?

Mixing involves combining raw materials (polymers, reinforcing agents, protection agents, curing agents, etc.) in a mixing chamber, transforming them into a homogeneous and well-dispersed mixture, often referred to as "rubber compound.

The result of mixing is often referred to as rubber compound.

Master Your Rubber: Discover Our Calendaring Capabilities

Our Calendaring Capabilities

Calendaring involves two or more hollow, heated, motorized metal rolls rotating at different speeds. 

The rubber compound, warmed on a mill from the mixer, is introduced between these rolls, compressed, and flattened to form rubber sheets of the desired thickness:

  • Width: 100 to 1 500 millimeters (4 to 60 inches)
  • Thickness: 0.6 to 25 millimeters (0.025 to 1 inch)

 

Additional Calendaring Options: 

  • Calendering onto steel cables, fabric, or cords
  • Powder or plastic anti-stick for winding

This process enables rapid and efficient production of non-vulcanized parts with complex sections, offering great dimensional precision, material economy, and versatility in rubber material choice.

For roller die types 

The product has one flat side and one with longitudinal patterns, usually packaged in rolls. 

  • Width: 100 to 500 millimeters (4 to 20 inches) 
  • Thickness: 1.5 to 20 millimeters (0.060 to 0.850 inche)

 

For simple die types

The product can have complex longitudinal shapes, with packaging dependent on the product's length and shape.
 

  • Width: up to 177 millimeters (7 inches) 
  • Thickness: up to 100 millimeters (4 inches)

Our Extrusion Process

Extrusion relies on an endless screw in a barrel that plasticizes and heats a substance, forcing it through a die of various configurations (single die, die and roll, etc.).

At Soucy Techno, rubber extrusion starts with a rubber compound from the mixer,

heated and plasticized by the screw, then pushed through a die to shape it. Once extruded, the material is cooled and cut to the desired length.
