Production process

The production process of Latexco was originally inspired by the DUNLOP process, but over the more than 50 years of experience Latexco effectuated a lot of improvements on what in the meantime can be described as the Latexco production process. Below you find a sketch of our production process for mattress and pillow cores.

a.   The mixing of the ingredients (latex, soap, vulcanisation agents…) into compound
b.   Compressed air (necessary to make a foam)
c.   Continuous foamer
d.   Cleaning and heating of the mould
e.   Applying a special agent to be able afterwards to get the mattresses / pillows out of the moulds

1.   Filling the mould with the latex foam
2.   The mould closes and enters the vulcanisation oven
3.   Vulcanisation oven: steam at 100ºC
4.   The finished mattress / pillow core is demoulded
5.   Washing of the mattress / pillow core
6.   Drying
7.   Quality control (checking hardness, weight, visual control)
8.   Finishing
9.   Storage
