Co-moulded components are highly specialized sealing systems, combining hard and soft components in a single product. The intention is to eliminate assembly operations, reducing costs, complexity, and potential application issues.
Co-moulded products can involve metal-to-rubber, resin-to-rubber, or resin with metal inserts-to-rubber combinations. GITIS has developed solutions with and without primers or adhesive systems; however, creating or converting a traditional design into such a product requires deep expertise in materials and component design.
Through dedicated vertical injection moulding processes, GITIS contributes to cost and failure reduction, delivering unique solutions across multiple industries, including valve seats and cover seals.
Co-moulded sealing technology requires specific material and application knowhow, combined with creativity and a lot of experience. Hence, such sealing systems are unique solutions, combining assembly and excellent sealing properties, also in harsh and enduring conditions.
GITIS is using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to prove the above-mentioned features, simulating the conditions and sealing behavior to predict failure modes, calculating assembly forces, seal displacement, contact pressure and thus sealing properties.
CAD/CAM, in-house mold and prototyping, based on close cooperation between engineering and technology, serve as a platform for the best solution in terms of functional design and application properties.
