Integrated Calendering for Reinforced Hose Manufacturing

For reinforced mandrel-formed hoses, material consistency is critical. Rubber calendering allows us to produce precise rubber sheets and apply rubber compounds to reinforcement fabrics before they are formed into the final hose construction.

This process helps support consistent wall thickness, strong rubber-to-fabric adhesion, and reliable performance in demanding applications where pressure resistance, flexibility, chemical compatibility, and durability are essential.

At Rubber Mexico, our calendering capabilities can support hose constructions that use silicone, FKM, fluorosilicone, NBR, SBR, and other rubber compounds, as well as reinforcement fabrics such as polyester, Nomex/Aramid, and fiberglass.

Quality Testing and Inspection for Mandrel-Formed Hoses

For parts up to 80mm in diameter and 30mm tall, we can do a 100% inspection with the top-of-the-line visual inspection system that can inspect up to 14 parts per second. Our equipment can measure the cross-section, visually inspect surfaces using AI, detect/measure flash, measure flatness, and check for the presence of bubbles/cuts or fractures, ensuring every part is defect-free. For larger parts, we also have 3D scanners, probes, and a Keyence IM8030T visual inspection system for spot or sample measurements.

Cleanliness Testing — ASTM D5774 and SAE J1726

A common requirement for hoses that we manufacture is a level of cleanliness when tested to SAE J1726. In these tests we are able to quantify the level of particles in the inside of these hoses and ensure that they meet the level of cleanliness that our customers need and to minimize the amount of foreign objects that our products bring to the system.

Adhesion (ASTM D429, ISO 36)

In hoses, excellent adhesion of the rubber to fabric is critical for the performance of the hose. Delamination is a common failure in hoses. It is critical to measure the adhesion strength of rubber to the substrates. Rubber Mexico has lots of experience with developing compounds that adhere well to extruded fabric reinforced hoses and formed/wrapped hoses.
