In-house mixing facilities

Our team with develop rubber compound to meet the performance requirements of the rubber product. Batch to batch consistency is paramount in our business and we therefore prefer to complete this task in-house. In-house mixing also allows us to be more cost efficient.

Moulding Processes

By keeping the moulding processes we can employ to manufacture the rubber component. Once we have reviewed customer requirement, we determine the best method to manufacture the product. Moulding equipment on hand allows us to employ either rubber compression moulding, rubber injection moulding or rubber transfer moulding.

Rubber Compression Moulding Process

Rubber Compression Moulding involves placing the rubber blank (pre-shaped and weighed) into an open mould. Rubber blanks are placed in the mould cavities after which the tool is closed. This moulding process may be utilised for single cavity/ low volume applications, proto-type tooling, multi-cavity moulds where the high value of a raw material inhibits the use of injection moulding and composite products e.g. metal bonded to rubber or fabric reinforced rubber product.

Quality Control

To ensure consistent product quality, Specialized Mouldings implemented an ISO 9001 Quality Management System. As a result, our system guarantees manufacturing consistency, customer satisfaction, and continual improvement of both products and processes. Notably, we received our ISO certification in 1999, reflecting our long-standing commitment to excellence.

Rubber Moulding with a Difference

What makes Specialized Mouldings different? Our company was founded to address a growing industry need for locally manufactured, specialized moulded rubber products. At the time, most local rubber manufacturers produced only general-purpose products, leaving customers with few options. 

Consequently, those seeking specialized rubber components were often forced to import them at significantly higher costs and face long delivery times. Even today, the production of specialized moulded rubber products remains a niche market in South Africa, which has allowed our company to grow steadily and strengthen its position as a leading provider.

We manufacture rubber products strictly according to customer requirements. Our processes focus on product quality, consistency, and manufacturing efficiency. As a result, we deliver products on time and at competitive prices, consistently meeting or exceeding customer specifications. This philosophy has guided our success over the past 30 years and continues to drive our focus for the future.
