Advanced Manufacturing
The world doesn’t need another traditional rubber molder.
We are committed to pushing past traditional manufacturing practices. Poly-Nova develops new and unique automation, overmolding, molding and bonding technologies aimed at creating the highest quality rubber components for maximal in economic efficiencies.
Our fully automated rubber molding and rubber overmolding systems deliver the absolute highest part quality, thereby eliminating secondary finishing operations for outstanding cost-effectiveness.
Precise and efficient.
Poly-Nova’s fully automated rubber overmolding process combines our flashless molding technology with fully automated insert loading, demolding and inspection. Finished components are mechanically and chemically bonded and meet the most exacting quality, technical and cost requirements. This process requires no finishing operations and is ideally suited for use with high performance elastomers such as fluorosilicone, fluoroelastomer and co-polymer materials.
