In order to improve the dispersion degree of carbon black and other additives, reduce consumption of energy and the temperature of discharging rubber compound, our research has been focused on preparation of rubber compound with different rubber particle size at filling coefficient of 0.6 and 0.7 in the mixer. The power consumption, the temperature of discharging rubber compound and the dispersion of carbon black were characterized in this study. The mechanical properties of the rubber compound have also been tested. The results indicate that reducing the particle size of rubber can reduce the consumption of energy and the temperature of discharging rubber compound and improve the mechanical properties, which is very important in rubber industry
