Tire Component Production Systems
Steelastic tire component production systems use extrusion-based technology to manufacture critical tire reinforcement components including steel belt, textile and steel body ply, textile and steel cap strip, and apex. Our equipment provides tire manufacturers with flexible, highly controlled alternatives to traditional rubber calendering, while supporting precision, automation and efficient production across a wide range of tire applications.
Body Ply Systems
Produce premium textile & steel body ply material using precision extrusion-based and cutting, splicing & stitching technology.
Cap Strip Systems
Achieve precision steel and textile cord placement, full cord encapsulation and no cut possibility of cords or exposed cords, while reducing capital expense, labor and scrap.
Automatic Apex Systems
Automatically extrude, form and apply rubber apex onto a tire bead using robotic handling and vision-based inspection technology.
RMS Extrusion Systems
The RMS Single Roll Roller Die (SRRD) system combines the flexibility and economy of an extrusion-based system, with the accuracy and dimensional control of a calender, to produce a wide range of non-reinforced, single compound tire components.
RMS Mini Calendars
The range of RMS Mini Calenders are designed to manufacture small and highly accurate rubber strips for either tire component production and pilot plant set-ups.

Double Roll Roller Die Hot Gum Edging Systems
The Double Roll Roller Die (DRRD) Hot Gum Edging System is Steelastic’s latest innovation in single compound gum application for steel belts. With this machine, the rubber is extruded via a die into a double roll system to produce highly toleranced gum material. The gum is then slit and applied to the steel belt, either top applied or wrapped.
Cold Gum Edging Systems
The Cold Gum Edging System is Steelastic’s latest innovation in single compound cold gum application for both belts and body ply material. With this machine, spools of pre-manufactured cold gum material, complete with polythene liner, are unwound and precisely applied to belt of body ply, either top applied or wrapped.
