Vulcanizer
alaindustrial:vulcanizer
Summary
The Vulcanizer finishes the oil chain. It combines one raw rubber with four sulfur dust and only runs when supplied with EU/FE and a heat source directly below it.
Mini-example: place it on a lit campfire, put raw rubber in the left slot and four sulfur dust in the right one, connect LV power from the side, and receive one rubber.
Energy
| What | Value |
|---|---|
| Internal buffer | 800 EU/FE |
| Max input | 32 EU/FE/t (LV) |
| Consumption | 2 EU/FE/t while working |
| Cost per operation | 400 EU/FE |
| Duration | 200 ticks (~10 s) |
Heat from below
| Source | Level | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Lit normal or soul campfire | 1 | 1 rubber |
| Lava, lava cauldron or magma block | 2 | 2 rubber |
| Electric Heater | 3 | 3 rubber |
Every level consumes exactly 1 raw rubber + 4 sulfur dust. Heat multiplies the output but not the batch price, so a stronger heat source is the main way to stretch the sulfur you have found. Changing or removing the heat source during an operation safely restarts progress with the current multiplier. Restarting does not consume ingredients, and swapping heat on the last tick cannot upgrade an almost finished batch.
Inventory and automation
| Slot | Accepts |
|---|---|
| Left input | |
| Right input | |
| Output |
Inputs are served from above and output from the sides. The bottom face is reserved for heat and is not exposed to item automation.
Interface
The screen shows energy, progress, both inputs, output, the heat source and its ×1/×2/×3 multiplier. Its status explains missing ingredients, power, heat or output space.
Block properties
Mine with a pickaxe; breaking it drops the block and inventory. Lights up and emits steam only while working. Reacts immediately when the block below changes.
Recipe
SIS / IMI / IEI: sulfur dust, iron ingots, a machine casing and an electronic circuit.

Technical notes
recipe/vulcanizing/rubber.json has two ordered inputs and energy: 400. The JSON result is one rubber; the BlockEntity multiplies it by the captured heat level. The old raw-rubber smelting recipe is removed.
