Rubber Moulding For The Offshore Industry

Rubber moulding offers significant advantages to the offshore industry, enhancing safety and operational efficiency. The process enables the creation of custom-designed rubber components that withstand harsh offshore environments, including corrosion, extreme temperatures, and high-pressure conditions. 

These durable rubber parts play a crucial role in sealing, insulating, and damping, ensuring watertight connections and preventing leaks in subsea equipment and pipelines. 

Clifton Rubber’s products provide cost-effective solutions, allowing mass production of identical components, and reducing downtime and maintenance expenses. 

Our flexibility in design and production allows customers to adapt to evolving requirements, enhancing overall productivity and reliability.

Typical rubber moulded components include:

Cable and Pipe Seals: used extensively in offshore equipment and structures to create watertight and airtight seals. 

Pipe and Cable Clamps: used to protect and hold in place.

Vibration Dampers: to reduce the impact of vibrations and shocks on offshore equipment and machinery. 

Rubber Bumpers and Fenders: Rubber bumpers and fenders are used on offshore platforms and vessels to absorb impact and prevent damage during docking and mooring. They are also used on equipment to protect against accidental collisions.  Also they are used in offshore equipment and structures to accommodate movement and absorb forces caused by wind, waves, and currents. 

Floatation Devices: used on offshore applications like floating platforms and buoys

Subsea Equipment: use rubber moulded components such as seals to maintain their functionality and safety in underwater environments.

The offshore industry may require custom rubber moulded parts designed for specific applications, such as underwater connectors, pipeline repair clamps, and more and Clifton Rubber can always help with the design and manufacture of custom moulded components

Rubber Covering including

• Rubber Rollers For The Offshore Industry
• Rubber Wheels & Tyres The Offshore Industry

Rubber covering benefits the offshore industry, safeguarding equipment and structures against harsh marine conditions. By providing a protective layer, it enhances corrosion resistance, preventing damage caused by saltwater, chemicals, and abrasive elements. 

Rubber covering significantly extends the lifespan of offshore assets, promoting efficient and cost-effective operations in this challenging environment.

Rubber Rollers

Polyurethane or rubber rollers are used in material handling equipment, such as conveyors, to transport heavy pipes, equipment, and materials. They offer excellent wear resistance and load-bearing capacity.

Equipment they are used in includes:

Winches and Rope handing – to guide cables.

Conveyor Systems – to transport equipment and materials

Mooring Systems – to maintain stability

Pipeline Inspections – used in equipment for testing pipelines

Rubber rollers may be custom-designed and used for specific offshore applications, depending on the unique requirements of a project or operation.

Rubber Wheels

Wheels are used in various applications in the offshore and oil and gas industry.

These include:

• Trolleys to transport tools and equipment
• Cranes and Hoists
• Mobile Platforms

Rubber Sheets Conversion For The Offshore Industry

Rubber sheet conversion offers numerous advantages to the offshore industry, proving to be a versatile solution for various applications. Our custom-cut rubber sheets provide excellent protection against corrosion, abrasion, and impact, extending the lifespan of critical offshore equipment and structures. 

Typical uses for rubber sheet conversion include:

Seals

Insulation

Matting

Shock Absorption

Rubber sheets with specific chemical and oil-resistant properties are used in areas where exposure to corrosive chemicals or hydrocarbons is a concern, such as in chemical storage areas or near drilling operations.
