Tire manufacturing process
Compounds are rolled around a support to produce a green tire in a building area. When ready to go in the forming area, the handling system picks up the green tire and brings it to the press. Previously, molds are cleaned and lubricated manually by the operators or automatically by a specific system. Then the curing cycle is launched. The press strokes down the top mold to the bottom mold by gradually hydraulic pressures (bumping steps). When the cured tire is ready, ejectors in the molds eject the cured tire. Then the handling system picks up the cured tire and brings it to the trim area.
