Golf is a sport that has been around for centuries. With any sport, the equipment used in the game has evolved over time. One such piece of equipment that has seen many advancements is the golf ball. Most notably, the Callaway brand golf ball has come a long way. But have you ever wondered how golf balls are made? The cores are molded with a hydraulic press machine!
The French Hydraulic Press Machine: Golf’s Best Friend
At the heart of the manufacturing process of Callaway golf balls is a hydraulic press machine. They are used to mold the core of the ball, which is responsible for the ball’s weight and feel. One of the leading manufacturers of hydraulic press machines for this process is French Oil Mill Machinery Company.
French Oil Mill Machinery Co. manufactures hydraulic presses for a wide range of industries, including the sporting goods industry. Our presses are used to mold the rubber cores that are at the center of every Callaway golf ball. Watch the video below to see how Callaway golf balls are made.
How a Hydraulic Press Machine is Used to Make a Golf Ball
The process of making a golf ball starts with the production of the rubber core. The rubber is mixed with other materials to achieve the desired properties. Then, it’s molded into a small ball shape using a French Oil Mill Machinery hydraulic press machine. Once the rubber core is molded, it is wrapped in layers of rubber, and then covered with the ball’s outer layer, which is made of a plastic material.
During the molding process, the hydraulic press machine applies pressure and heat to the rubber mixture, causing it to take the shape of the mold. The pressure and temperature are carefully controlled to ensure that the core of the ball is formed to the exact specifications required by the manufacturer.
Our hydraulic press machines are known for their precision and durability, making them an ideal choice for the golf ball manufacturing industry. With the advanced control systems, manufacturers can track real-time data during the molding process, ensuring that each cycle operates within validated parameters and providing traceability in the production process.
