Glove silicone dipping is a process involving multiple steps and links. In order to complete this process, the following equipment and tools are usually required:
1. Main equipment
Dipping machine:
This is the core equipment in the glove silicone dipping process.
The dipping machine usually has one or more dipping tanks for holding the dipping solution.
The gloves pass through the dipping tank to complete the dipping process.
Drying equipment:
The gloves after dipping need to be dried to ensure that the dipping solution can be evenly attached to the surface of the gloves and solidified.
The drying equipment can be an oven, a drying tunnel or a drying line, etc. The specific choice depends on the production scale and process requirements.
Glove mold:
In some cases, in order to obtain a specific glove shape or size, a glove mold is required.
The mold is usually made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant materials to ensure that it will not be deformed or damaged during the dipping and drying process.
2. Auxiliary tools
Agitator:
It is used to mix the silicone and other additives evenly before dipping.
The agitator can ensure that the components of the dipping solution are evenly distributed, thereby improving the quality of dipping.
Measuring tools:
Such as measuring cups, electronic scales, etc., are used to accurately measure the composition and proportion of the dipping solution.
Precise measurement can ensure the accuracy of the formula of the dipping solution, thereby ensuring the dipping effect.
Cleaning tools:
Such as brushes, cloths, etc., are used to clean the surface of gloves before dipping to remove impurities such as oil, dust, etc.
A clean glove surface can improve the adhesion of the dipping solution and the quality of dipping.
Conveyor belt:
Used to transport gloves from the dipping tank to the drying equipment.
The conveyor belt can ensure that the gloves maintain a stable moving speed during the dipping and drying process, thereby improving production efficiency.
3. Other precautions
Safety measures:
When dipping gloves with silicone, necessary safety measures need to be taken, such as wearing protective glasses and gloves, to prevent the dipping solution from splashing on the skin or eyes and causing damage.
Environmental control:
The dipping process needs to be carried out under certain temperature and humidity conditions to ensure that the dipping solution can be evenly attached to the surface of the gloves and solidified.
Therefore, it is necessary to equip the corresponding temperature and humidity control equipment to monitor and adjust the production environment.
Quality control:
In order to ensure the quality of dipping, it is necessary to conduct quality inspection on the gloves after dipping.
Common testing methods include observing whether the rubber layer on the surface of the gloves is uniform, measuring the thickness of the rubber layer, etc.
