Rubber and elastomer moulding

Nisthora for rubber and elastomer moulding.

Compression, transfer and injection presses cure rubber parts in fixed cycles. Nisthora tracks every cure, every temperature and every stop, and ties them to the compound batch.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

Cure must be right

Temperature and time outside the range spoil parts.

Compound batches

Each compound batch behaves differently in the press.

Automotive customers

Many rubber parts go to car makers, who ask for traceability.

On your shop floor

What Nisthora connects to and measures.

Machines

  • Compression moulding presses
  • Transfer and injection presses
  • Mixers and mills
  • Extruders
  • Deflashing machines
  • Post-cure ovens

Readings

  • Cure cycle count and time
  • Platen temperature
  • Press pressure
  • Run / stop signal
  • Rejected parts
  • Energy use

Typical stop reasons

  • Mould change
  • Mould cleaning
  • Compound change
  • Heater fault
  • Waiting for compound
  • Quality hold

These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.

Traceability

Batch, usually

Compound batch drives cure behaviour, and automotive customers add IATF 16949 on top. Nisthora's batch records hold the press, shift, readings and stops for every run.

A day with Nisthora

A moulding plant sets platen temperature alerts on each press. When a heater fails, the alert reaches the supervisor and the stop is recorded as Heater fault, with the batch already linked.

Example for illustration.

How Nisthora helps

Built for plants like yours.

Live OEE per press

Availability, performance and quality for every press, live.

Tap-only machine panel

Operators press Start and Stop, and tap a picture for the stop reason.

Downtime Pareto

The few stop reasons that cost the most, sorted for you.

Maintenance forecast

Which press needs maintenance in the next 30 days, and why.

Anomaly detection

Flags readings that look unusual for that press.

Alerts

Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook.

Root cause and fishbone

Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.
