The company M.D.C Engineering
A company rich in expertise and quality
MDC ENGINEERING designs and markets production lines for the continuous vulcanisation of VulcanoClean® elastomer extruded profiles.
The VulcanoClean® line is a continuous salt bath curing (LCM) line with the following advantages:
Environmentally friendly : recycling of salts, treatment of fumes and washing water in a closed circuit
Productive : speeds of up to 120 metres/minute Economical: very low energy consumption per kg vulcanised
Universal : process suitable for all types of polymers
Precise : control of profile dimensions and mechanical properties
Reliable : reproducibility and homogeneity
Flexible : several profiles can be produced simultaneously
In addition, MDC ENGINEERING can adapt the VulcanoClean® process to existing LCM salt bath lines and offer a number of complementary services, including :
Project management: from a single piece of LCM equipment to a complete production line
A technical assistance contract: carried out by MDC Engineering’s expert engineers, this includes drawing up specifications, advising suppliers, and technical acceptance prior to final installation.
A production tool: supply and commissioning of a supervision and statistical control system for quality monitoring by the line’s end users.
After-sales service and remote maintenance
Specific supply of additional equipment on request (upstream and/or downstream of the line).
Jean-Baptiste de Chamisso : Revolution in the industrial world of vulcanisation
An engineer, Jean-Baptiste de Chamisso worked from 1987 onwards to develop a new generation of equipment for the rubber industry, within the specialist company Durferrit®, world leader in salt bath technologies (industrial applications from 140°C to 1250°C for the thermal and thermochemical treatment of metals). He is the inventor of the VulcanoClean® lines for continuous vulcanisation in salt baths (LCM) of extruded polymer profiles; a pollution-free technology that is now world-renowned.
His work has given rise to a revolution in the industrial world of vulcanisation. The environmentally-friendly VulcanoClean® process incorporates a salt and washing water recycling system, with low energy consumption. Today, it is unrivalled on the market for LCM-type vulcanisation lines.
