Extrudes rubber for tread and sidewalls
Manufacturing process
- Mixing of raw rubber and chemical ingredients in massive mixers with heat and friction.
- Remilling the mix to soften and uniformly distribute chemicals.
- Forming thick sheets of rubber compound using rolling mills.
- Extruding tread and sidewall rubber profiles and assembling components on a tyre building machine to form a green tyre.
- Placing the green tyre inside a mould with a bladder filled with steam for the curing process.
- Cooling, testing, and inspecting the finished tyres and tubes before warehouse distribution.
Market
Bicycle tyres and tubes are in constant demand due to daily wear and tear from uneven roads, catering to bicycles, hand cycles, and specialized wheelchairs.
