Rubber Moulds
We have our own mould manufacturing workshop and experienced structural design engineers, so we can independently design and develop rubber moulds rather than pass the work on.

O-Ring Moulds
An O-ring mould decides whether every ring coming off it is the same. We have our own mould workshop and can design and manufacture a variety of moulds and tools, including the multi cavity O-ring tooling shown here. The advantage of buying the tool where the production runs is that consistency problems are corrected in the tool instead of argued about.
Why It Wins
Key Benefits
- Every ring produced comes out to a uniform size and cross section
- Designed to exact specification rather than adapted from an existing cavity
- Built from materials that withstand rigorous production cycles
- Withstands high moulding temperatures without deformation
- Designed for easy cleaning and minimal upkeep
The Brief
Problems It Solves
- Inconsistent cross sections between cavities and between batches
- Tools that deform under moulding temperature and drift out of specification
- High maintenance tooling that costs more in downtime than it saved in purchase
- Compatibility problems when a tool is used with a different compound
Audience
Who It Is For
- Seal producers needing additional or replacement tooling
- OEMs standardising on a proprietary seal size
- Buyers who want the tool and the production from one supplier
- Companies bringing seal production in house
In Service
Application Scenarios
- Series production of a specific O-ring size not covered by a standard mould
- Replacement tooling for an existing seal programme
- Multi cavity production where cycle economics matter
- Customers wanting to own O-ring tooling for use elsewhere

Honest Comparison
Where This Is the Right Choice and Where It Is Not
Compared With Buying rings instead of the tool
If you only need parts, buy parts. A tool is worth owning when you want control of supply or intend to mould in house.
Compared With A generic mould shop
A shop that never moulds rubber will not anticipate cure, flash and shrinkage behaviour in the cavity design.
Compared With AS568 standard sizes
For standard sizes we already hold the complete mould set, so a new tool is unnecessary. Ask before commissioning one.
Use Guide
How to Specify and Order This Part
Confirm whether your size is already in the AS568 series before ordering tooling
State the compound you intend to run so shrinkage can be allowed for
Give the annual volume so cavity count can be chosen sensibly
Clean the tool according to the maintenance guidance supplied with it
Approve trial mouldings physically before releasing the tool

O-Ring Moulds Questions
Do I need a mould at all?
Not if your size is in the AS568 series. We hold the complete mould set for it, and we will tell you that before selling you tooling.
Can the tool run different compounds?
It is designed to suit various rubber and elastomer materials, but tell us which compound you intend to run so shrinkage is allowed for correctly.
How many cavities should I have?
It follows from your annual volume. Send the quantity and we will propose a cavity count.
Can I take the tool to another factory?
Yes, if agreed in writing before we start.
What maintenance does it need?
It is designed for easy cleaning and minimal upkeep, and we supply guidance with the tool.
How fast can you quote?
One working day once we have the size, compound and volume.
