Latex Dipping Lines for Baby Teats and Pacifiers (Soothers)
Looking for equipment to manufacture natural rubber latex baby bottle teats or pacifier teats? Dutch Dipping specialises in the design and manufacture of latex dipping lines for baby teats, soothers and pacifiers.
We design and build specialised dipping lines tailored to your products and production requirements.
Our expertise combines machine engineering with practical knowledge of heat-sensitive latex processing. From dipping and drying to curing and product removal, we develop the production line around your product shapes, available factory space and required level of automation.

Babies depend on products that must be soft, comfortable, consistent and manufactured under carefully controlled conditions. Two important materials are widely used for baby pacifiers (soothers) and feeding teats: silicone and natural rubber latex.
Dutch Dipping Technologies focuses on the latex production process.
Heat-Sensitive Latex Technology
Our production system for latex baby pacifiers (soothers) and feeding teats can operate with heat-sensitive latex technology.
By carefully controlling former temperature, dipping conditions and process parameters, a uniform latex build-up can be achieved. This is especially important for products where consistent wall thickness, flexibility and product quality are essential.
The dipping process can be programmed according to the required product and latex formulation.
Rail Dipping – Flexible and Easy to Change
The machine is based on the Dutch Dipping rail system.
Complete rails with formers can be exchanged, making it relatively easy to change between different pacifier, soother or teat models and sizes. This gives manufacturers the flexibility to produce different products on the same installation without having to build a dedicated production line for every model.

Fully Automatic Production
Once the required production program has been entered into the PLC control system, the machine automatically controls the production sequence.
Depending on the product and formulation, this can include former preparation, dipping, controlled latex build-up, leaching, drying, vulcanisation and other required process stages.
The line is designed for highly automated operation and requires only limited operator involvement during normal production.
Flexible Energy Options
Dutch Dipping does not design its machines around only one energy source.
Depending on local availability and energy costs, the drying and vulcanisation system can be designed for electricity, gas, thermal oil, infrared or another suitable energy source.
The objective is always the same: reliable process control combined with efficient energy use.
More Than Just the Machine
Producing a good latex baby pacifier, soother or feeding teat requires more than dipping equipment alone.
The correct latex formulation, leaching conditions, temperatures, drying and vulcanisation parameters all influence the finished product.
Dutch Dipping Technologies can combine machine technology with process knowledge and, where required, specialist support for latex formulations and production trials.
