Tire Manufacturing: Solutions to optimize your process
In the production of tires, the temperature of the tire compound plays a decisive role and significantly influences the result. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the different phases closely in order to detect defects as early as possible, which saves time and also helps to reduce the number of possible rejects or even complaints.
When mixing and extruding the tire compound, our IR line scanners, IR cameras or individual pyrometers, including suitable process-specific software, can provide data for reliable process control and consistently stabilize quality.
Thanks to the versatility of IR sensor technology, monitoring protocols can be used at various stages.
