As tires are born?
Tyre today - it's so Flawless products, making it "by eye" is not possible. At all stages of the production of tires Cordiant weighty role for automation and computer control. Already at the first stage of production - in the manufacture of a set of rubber compounds - virtually the entire process is electronically controlled.
25 photo production stages via alkulikov-87
The internal mixer is strictly metered components of the future tire - natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black (soot), sulfur. Sometimes the mixing is done in several steps, and then the tape has finished rubber mixture is fed into the machine again.
Mixes are automatic quality control, and then those that successfully qualified leave the warehouse. There are some time "vylezhivayutsya" and then enter in the manufacture of parts such as rubber-coated cord hermetic layer frame, a belt, sidewall protector.
For the production of rubberized cord uses a special machine - "creel". It looks very unusual: from a variety of challenges in a number of coils (spools) extend and converge to the same place the thread metal wire (steel cord) - something it resembles a harp or a loom. Steel cord is fed to a special extruder in which the wire is pressed into the rubber sheet. Then it is cut to produce the desired part.
Thus obtained rubber-coated wire for special conveyors supplied to the large coil, which is wound and for storage and transport
The material is very sticky, and to avoid sticking and damage, the layers are placed between the wound gasket

Forms are different gaskets. They are often mistaken for irregular shape of the tire
Manufacturers of this smile: "No, to the shape of the future tire, we all normally»

Final assembly of the tire takes place on a special machine group Krupp. On this machine run only two: perezaryadchik and garbage. Perezaryadchik inserts spool machine components. Collector borotovoe put in the ring and on the machine does everything himself: he brings Caracas germosloem and the side of the workpiece and blows air under the tread to the breaker.
The resulting crude bus runs on automatic checkweighing scales and visual inspection for possible defects.
Thereafter the workpiece are sent to the curing department

The last stage of the production takes place in a hot vulcanizing shop. Here, the tire is subjected to hot-heat steam under high pressure. Rubber, carbon black and additives "baked" into a single unit, and the external and internal surface of the tire by a mold applied tread pattern, labels and other technical profiles.
The entire process of curing is accompanied by steam and hissing sounds
By acting black "spick and span" it is clear that these samples of the mold used for the manufacture of winter tires
We called vulcanization shop "chip" of the plant, and even asked to take us here at the end of the show for the second time. Apart from the fact that the process of "birth" of the tire causes interest of the audience, it is still possible to make wonderful pictures
Work process goes. Very soon, these blanks will be the usual for us kind of tires
Despite the prevailing heat here, the curing of the shop do not want to leave. The light, the smell of hot rubber and the steam makes this place special
Just "born" tire. More steam. Right now coming next workpiece. Above you can see mold for tire tread legends and inscriptions
When the tire is ready, it took the next workpiece. After 10 minutes, it will be one bus, we can see every day
23
Products are ready, and tested prior to delivery to the consumer is waiting for test
After the end of the production process takes place test. We showed this process by the example of the aviation tires. The wheel spins in the center, simulating the speed of 340 km / h. After dialing the required number of revolutions of the wheel in contact with the bus for a while. There is a friction tire on the wheel - thus simulates the landing of the aircraft. Once the tire is cooled and the cycle is repeated as many times as required
