Tyre manufacturing transforms raw materials (rubber, steel, textiles) into durable, high-performance tyres. This vital industrial process ensures global...
Tyres primarily use natural and synthetic rubber, steel wire (for belts and beads), textile cords (polyester, rayon, nylon), carbon black, and various chemical additives for specific properties.
The key stages include raw material mixing (compounding), tyre building (assembling components), curing (vulcanization under heat and pressure), and final inspection and testing.
Technology introduces automation, robotics, advanced material science, and sustainable production methods, enhancing efficiency, safety, and performance while reducing environmental impact.
Vulcanization is a crucial process where rubber is heated with sulfur, transforming it into a durable, elastic, and heat-resistant material essential for the tyre's structural integrity and performance.
