RubberMill
produces precision ground rubber balls to exacting tolerances and stringent
rubber compound specifications. After the balls are molded, they
are finished by a high-speed, accurate grinding process. The finishing
process eliminates the mold parting line on precision rubber balls and
results in a smooth and uniform surface. Additionally, the machining
process provides the consistent, close diametrical and spherical dimensions
that are required on precision balls to produce an effective seal. Special
surface coatings are available on RubberMill's precision ground rubber
balls for demanding service requirements.
