MDC ENGINEERING

MDC ENGINEERING designs and markets production lines for the continuous vulcanization of extruded elastomer profiles.

The innovation of the VulcanoClean® vulcanizing line (LCM: Liquid Curing Media) lies in its EcoClean process, an ecological revolution in the field that recycles salts and treats fumes and washing water in a closed circuit, for lines designed for the continuous extrusion of rubber profiles (EPDM, NR, CR, SBR, etc.).

More about the VulcanoClean system:

In addition to supplying VulcanoClean® LCM lines, MDC ENGINEERING can also adapt the VulcanoClean® process to existing LCM salt bath lines. MDC ENGINEERING also guarantees optimized installation of its lines on customer sites.

Salt bath technology is recognized worldwide as the best process for continuous vulcanization of elastomer profiles, not only for its heat transfer capacity, temperature homogeneity and ease of use, but also for the quality of the resulting surface finish and mechanical properties, and for its ability to vulcanize all polymer blends.

Since MDC Engineering S.a.r.l., in cooperation with Durferrit® GmbH, revolutionized salt bath lines to make them extremely modern, high-performance and safe, many new applications have emerged. What’s more, thanks to new peroxide compounds that can generally only be vulcanized in a salt bath, productivity levels unimaginable 20 years ago are now being achieved.

Thanks to the VulcanoClean® process, both the environmental and energy aspects, which twenty years ago were a weak point compared with competing technologies such as hot air + microwaves or hot air shock systems, are no longer an issue. Allowing the elimination of pollutant emissions and mixed electric/gas heating by means of immersed heat exchangers, this process offers the best energy efficiency and environmental technology.

In addition, MDC Engineering offers a range of services:

• Consulting: we help you design and cost your projects
• Technical assistance: we define all the specifications for each component of a production line in its entirety, then select and choose the appropriate suppliers with you.
• Control and supervision: MDC Engineering offers a production control and monitoring system, which enables all parameters to be read and recorded, and monitored qualitatively over time. It can also be used to create global production recipes and statistical reports.
• After-sales service / remote maintenance: enables our customers to receive technical assistance, regardless of distance, time or place, to diagnose any breakdown or anomaly, and to make remote program updates according to the customer’s choice, after start-up.
