The decision between custom molded and standard rubber parts is a pivotal one in the operative activities of the industry, and Kingfund, with decades of experience on the rubber R&D and manufacturing front, as well as core technologies such as rubber-to-metal bonding, has both of them to satisfy the needs of diverse clients. By explaining their major differences, clients will choose the most appropriate solution to their application cases, which will facilitate the efficient operation of the equipment.
Ability to Meet Unconventional Requirements
The custom molded rubber parts by Kingfund are aimed at meeting the non-standard, unique requirement of the clients. It can be customized in design production to the special needs in terms of equipments or functionality within particular industries such as in the railroad or electronic sectors. Conversely, the standard rubber parts of the company are designed to standardized requirements, developed to meet the normal requirements of the industry like basic vibration damping, and are therefore an easy option in normal applications.
Alignment with Industry-Specific Challenges
Industry-specific pain points are addressed by custom molded rubber components by Kingfund, which are developed. As an example, in agricultural and forestry industry, they may be designed to withstand harsh working conditions and minimise machine vibrations whereas in the electronic industry, they may be designed to be precise in sensor applications. Commercial-off-the-shelf Standard components, in turn, offer wide flexibility and are not specifically optimized to meet the needs of niche applications in industry.
Adjustability in Production Planning
Kingfund offers freedom in the production planning of custom molded components. It is capable of increasing or decreasing scales depending on the order volumes of its clients and that may be small batches to specialized work or mass application by using the advanced ERP system to facilitate the process of scheduling and material purchase. Commodity rubber products, in contrast, are bulk-manufactured so that they will be available in stock, allowing them to be delivered immediately to the client when he/she requires the component on a regular basis.
Matching of Performance Expectations
Kingfund rubber molded parts are custom shaped to fit the performance requirements of clients. This may involve increasing the durability to satisfy 5-10 years service life requirement or stability to extreme working conditions. Standard components are provided with predetermined performance characteristics that are designed to be directly related to general reliability, that is that, consistent functionality in the normal working conditions of industry, rather than the custom-designed performance offered by custom components.
To conclude, custom molded and standard rubber parts at Kingfund have variations in serving unusual demands, solving industry specific problems, reworking production strategies, and aligning performance expectations. The type of choice available to clients will be based on the uniqueness, industry requirements, the volume of production and performance targets of the application of the latter; and both types of application meet the requirement of Kingfund to quality and applicability to the industrial sector.
