calenderless-tire-manufacturing-cell

Steelastic’s “calenderless” tire manufacturing cell consists of tire component preparation systems capable of producing all of the reinforcement components utilized in modern tires. This dedicated cell is allowing tire manufacturers to conduct trials, using their own materials, to produce components to their own specifications. Finished materials are then packed and shipped to the customers premises for tire building, testing and validation.
These dedicated machines can produce steel belt/breaker, steel or textile body ply, and steel or textile strip materials in single operator, end to end processing lines, that eliminate the requirement for calendering and offline cutting/processing equipment.
This fully extrusion based technology provides unrivaled flexibility, automation, efficiency, and traceability. It is highly suited to the multi SKU, lower batch size, manufacturing environment of the future. Calenderless manufacturing of reinforced tire components enables profitable lower capacity tire manufacturing, with plants located where the tire demand exists.
