How to make a rubber profile? Through extrusion of course!

Did you know, that almost infinite lengths of rubber profiles can be extruded? Yes, in principle they can! Rubber extrusion is a continuous manufacturing process, which means that as long as raw material is supplied and the line remains operational, the profile in question can be produced in lengths that are only practically limited by […]

Industrial fire-rated doors: engineering for real conditions

Fire-rated doors play a key role in industrial safety. Yet many systems fail to perform as intended in real conditions. As regulations tighten, manufacturers like MaxiDoor are focusing on solutions that combine safety with operational efficiency. Industrial fire risk and containment In heavy industrial settings, fire risk is both systemic and often underestimated. European statistics […]

Extend your forklift battery lifespan – Follow the 8-8-8 rule!

Forklifts typically rely on two primary battery types—lead-acid and lithium-ion. Depending on the operating environment, both battery types can offer reliable service for several years. In many industrial applications, a well-maintained lead-acid forklift battery can have a lifespan and last around five years (or approximately 1,500 charge cycles), whereas a lithium-ion variant can sometimes retain […]

The advantages of EPDM for rubber seals & gaskets!

EPDM rubber has gained a stellar reputation in the realm of industrial applications, largely due to its excellent resistance to heat, weathering, ozone, and various chemicals. These attributes make EPDM rubber a first-choice material for gaskets and seals that must maintain integrity under demanding conditions. In addition, the rubber material is prized for its flexibility, […]
