Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a production method for producing an electrically conductive foam rubber roller which has a tubular body free from internal abnormal foaming and hence free from internal cracking after the foaming. The production method includes the steps of: continuously extruding a rubber composition into a tubular body (7); and passing the extruded tubular body (7) through a microwave crosslinking device (8) and then through a hot air crosslinking device (9) in an elongated state without cutting the tubular body. The rubber composition is extruded, foamed and crosslinked so that the tubular body has a thickness unevenness of not greater than 1.3 immediately after being passed through the hot air crosslinking device (9), the thickness unevenness being defined as a ratio Tmax/Tmin between a maximum radial thickness Tmax and a minimum radial thickness Tmin of the tubular body which are each measured in a cross section of the tubular body.
