Vulcanizing Autoclave Systems, Material Handling Equipment

Vulcanizing Autoclave Systems for the Rubber Industry
	WSF manufactures Vulcanizers, also called heaters, autoclaves, kettles or reactors, for the curing of rubber and plastic products and composites. They can be used for process simulation or full scale production equipment.
Horizontal Swing Style RAPIDOOR ®
	WSF Vulcanizers are available in a wide range of sizes and design pressures in vertical or horizontal configurations. The process medium can be steam, a combination of steam and air or inert gas, "Dry Heat" produced by electrical heaters, steam or hot oil autoclave jackets, or circulating hot gases. Design features available include the quick-access RAPIDOOR ® and external RAPID/LOADER ® moving door with integral product cart. Our unique control systems permit accurate duplication of process cycles using simultaneous but independent application of air (or inert gas) and/or steam.
