Significant experience in production systems for key rubber articles for military applications
DESMA developed vertical machines with specialized sliding devices are ideally suited for the production of rubberized track systems used in tanks and troop transport machinery.

DESMA developed vertical machines with specialized sliding devices are ideally suited for the production of rubberized track systems used in tanks and troop transport machinery.
Correspondingly, defense contractors constantly rely on the control of DESMA FIFO injection units for repeatability of the rubber injection process. The manufacture of rubber to metal bonded items like case bases (munitions) plus radar absorbing tile producers rely on DESMA FIFO accuracy.
Electromagnetic shielding (EMF) producers utilize DESMA mix metering systems for property material processing and dosing.
DESMA machinery, sliding device options, automation solutions and USA built tooling are used by leading defense contractors in North America.
D 957.050
A D 957.050 shown with left and right shuttle table option. The machine configuration with the fixed lower bolster and movable upper bolster is ideally suited for military grade cable connector production. The sliding devices coupled with proper machine safeties allow for direct injection of cable connectors to the substrate.
D 969.400 Sealmaster
This horizontal machine with symmetrical tie bar configuration provides a very intense clamping force concentration on the mold package. ITM processes using the SEALMASTER design result in very evenly distributed material in the transfer pot resulting in optimal cavity fill and balance. Shown with optional vacuum system and integrated ITM pot temperature control devices.
D 968.400
A D 968.400 ZO BMK shown with various options including right hand side 100% sliding device, dynamic demold table height adjust, vertical knock out system and custom safety guarding for automation cell integration. Military grade rubber to metal bonded parts are suitable for this type of machine configuration.
