Mid-States Rubber Products commitment to excellence begins with our 6,000 sq. ft. Research & Development Center where our chemist develop rubber formulations which can precisely meet our wide ranging customer specifications and requirements. Those rubber formulations are then compound and mixed with our computer controlled weighing and internal mixing systems. Following the compounding and mixing processes each batch of rubber is tested by our laboratory and is not released into production until it has met our rigorous quality standards.
Our comprehensive rubber molding capabilities including injection and conventional hydraulic presses. Both types of presses utilize Programmable Logic Controls to control and monitor the molding process ensuring a consistent process and quality product.
Mid-States has over 20 injection presses and over 70 hydraulic press operating at our Princeton, Indiana Facility. Our substantial capacity of injection and hydraulic presses allows Mid-States Rubber to offer the appropriate molding technology in meeting the customers needs.
Mid-States Rubber's extrusion lines ranging in size from 3 1/2 to 6 inch extruders and feature Davis-Standard cold feed extruders. Curing lines include in-line microwave and gas fired curing ovens with evaporation cooling systems and a wide variety of high speed precision cutters. This combination of equipment and capability allow us to meet a wide range of customer extruded product needs quickly and competitively.
Mid-States has state of the art cryogenic finishing equipment enabling us to produce clean finished product. The rubber parts are frozen, and the small bits of rubber left over from the molding process become brittle and are removed. This leaves the main part free from fringes and other bits of rubber.

Our design engineering department uses Unigraphics, AutoCAD and Inventor computer-aided design and drafting software to develop new products with Mid-States' customers as well as ensuring products are designed-to-manufacture.
We help customers design and develop new products, working from samples, sketches, or basic ideas. Our design engineering department can make changes to existing designs or create entirely new designs -- and then produce precise drawings. These capabilities allow Mid-States to work closely with our customers on product design, development, and innovation.
