Manufacture of vinyl dumbbells.
The manufacture of dumbbells is a step by step process. First, a cast iron mold is prepared according to the size and style of the dumbbell that you want to make. The molds are created somewhat lighter than the weight of the finished dumbbell you want, as the vinyl coating also has some weight to it that will add to the initial weight of the cast iron mold.
The second step is to dip the cast iron dumbbell mold into hot vinyl in a molten form so that its coating can cover the entire mold. Cast vinyl is used in different colors to give the final dumbbells a unique and attractive look.
Machinery used in manufacturing.
In order to make quality vinyl dumbbells, the highest quality cast iron molding machines are used to make dumbbells to the exact size and weight. Vinyl is basically made with the help of crude oil and salt. Ethylene is obtained by cracking crude oil or petroleum and chlorine by electrolytic cracking of salt to make vinyl.
