Bladder Dipping Lines

Complete dipping machines for latex bladders: the inner balloons of footballs, basketballs, volleyballs and rugby balls, and bladders for gas and pressure testing. Many machine types available directly from stock.

Many sports balls contain a critical component that is often overlooked: the latex bladder, the inner balloon. It determines the air retention, shape and overall quality of the ball. Without a good bladder, there is no good ball.

Dutch Dipping Technologies designs and supplies complete dipping machines for the production of latex bladders for footballs (soccer balls), basketballs, volleyballs, rugby balls and other sports applications. Our machines ensure:

Consistent wall thickness: the basis of a well-balanced ball

High quality and air retention: the bladder keeps the ball in shape

Reliable and repeatable production: the same result, run after run

Efficient use of latex: less waste, lower cost per bladder

Beyond sports

Bladders for gas and pressure testing

In addition to sports applications, latex bladders are also used for gas and leak testing, pressure testing, and industrial applications requiring flexibility and airtight performance. Our systems allow the production of bladders with high elasticity, reliable gas tightness and consistent quality.
