TMP Inc. has incorporated our newest technological advancements into the Vacu-Jet Molding Press for rubber parts manufacture. This is one of the most advanced molding presses introduced to the rubber industry in decades.
Vacuum molding minimizes the inclusion of trapped air or gases that cause defective parts. Many product manufacturers use mold designs with vacuum seals and vacuum channels to remove the air and gas. TMP has developed a better, more efficient method, for removing trapped air. The TMP patented technique creates a vacuum chamber around the entire mold. Any existing tooling can thus be used in this press while the extra costs for vacuum molds are eliminated. TMP was the first to introduce this to the industry and has seen customer after customer make this one-time nominal investment. The results are higher operating efficiencies, higher productivity, and better product quality

The TMP Hydraulic System is a proven for its efficiency and long-term reliability. These hydraulics combined with TMP's IPS Control system provide press control, accuracy and flexibility unmatched in the industry.

The TMP IPS Vacuum Control System is a PLC-based system designed to improve product quality through better pressing accuracy, repeatability, versatile process control programming and monitoring of data for analysis. The system is designed and supported by TMP.
Separate hydraulic digital proportional servo control valves are used with their own processor. This combined with a linear displacements transducer and data access module provide highly responsive, repeatable, and accurate outputs compared to set-points (inputs).
TMP offer off the shelf options and will develop or modify as needed to meet process needs, including higher automation. Our designs readily can be customized to meet particular process requirements
