During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China will continue to improve smart manufacturing in the tire industry, which put forward higher requirements for highly intelligent integration of curing press. Recently, two 1900 frame-type dual-mode hydraulic curing presses, developed by Guilin Rubber Machinery, were applied to produce tires in a large tire factory in China. They are a new model designed for meeting the requirements of innovating and upgrading smart manufacturing of tires.
Guilin Rubber Machinery’s 1900 frame-type dual-mode hydraulic curing press is vulcanizing tires
The left and right dies of the new 1900 model are independently controlled, which can realize dual-mode vulcanization of tires of different specifications simultaneously. The mold-clamping force of this machine is evenly distributed, and the quality of produced tires is more stable. The new vulcanization chamber makes the sealing more reliable, and the service life of the sealing ring can reach more than 6 months. Fully automatic operation can be directly matched with unmanned vulcanization factories, facilitating the development of smart plants for tire manufacturers. The steam tube of this model is in the form of integrated valve group, saving 15% energy than the traditional one. It has been designed to facilitate a green, energy-saving and emission-reducing smart tire manufacturer.
To adapt to the fully automated production, Guilin Rubber Machinery, in collaboration with tire manufacturers, has tailored the layout of their curing press plants with due consideration to the intelligent operation. With the same floor area, the 1900 model can be used to produce more tires simultaneously, featuring strong adaptability, good safety and high efficiency.
According to the Guiding Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Rubber Industry issued by China Rubber Industry Association, the meridian rate of tires in China should reach 96% during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. In recent years, China’s engineering machinery tire demand has grown significantly, but the meridian rate of engineering tires is low. Guilin Rubber Machinery innovatively proposed the “hydraulic dual-mode engineering-tire curing solution” to realize the mass production of radial engineering tires, launching new products one after another for this purpose. In 2020, the enterprise delivered the new 1950 dual-column dual-mode hydraulic curing press for engineering tires to tire manufacturers. At this time, it also rolled out the 1900 frame-type dual-mode hydraulic curing press. With both tailored for the production of radial engineering tires, it has provided guarantee for tire manufacturers to expand production capacity and improve tire performance.
