The elastomers material arrives at the next stage as a sheet which is cut into strips and inserted into an extruder. Once inside the material is heated up to decrease its viscosity and forced through a die which produces lengths of cord. The size of the dye aperture is carefully selected based on the finished diameter of the O rings required. During the molding stage, the cord is cut to size and placed into one half of the heated mold tools which are fixed to the two platters of the press. When the two halves of the tool close, the elastic material is molded into an O ring shape. It is left in the press for a short length of time to start the curing process.
