Steelastic OTR Belt & Body Ply Systems

The Off-the-Road (OTR) tire market continues to grow, as OTR tire manufacturers add capacity to produce highly specialized tires for construction, agriculture, and underground mining vehicles. 

Steelastic OTR Belt & Body Ply systems offer ultimate flexibility, providing the ideal solution for OTR tire component manufacturing. Our calenderless process allows OTR tire manufacturers to efficiently make shorter runs of multiple tire SKUs. Our equipment is also capable of manufacturing multiple belt and body ply components on one machine, eliminating the need for expensive, inflexible calendering and off-line processing equipment. 

Steelastic’s Calenderless OTR Tire System Benefits: 

Ultimate Flexibility  

Our extruded steel belt and body ply systems allow for changes in finished belt and body ply angle, and width, in a matter of seconds.  Changes in cord and compound can be achieved in under 20 mins.  This provides the very high levels of flexibility demanded in the modern OTR tire market, as the tire SKU count continues to rise. 

One Streamlined Process 

Our extrusion-based systems are one complete process from creel to wind-up.  This eliminates the need to handle and store semi-finished material as required by calendering and offline processing methods.   

Enhanced Quality Control & Traceability 

STEELASTIC Extruded Steel Belt and Body Ply Systems include a range of vision, thermal and laser product inspection technologies to ensure the highest quality product, along with full traceability to plant manufacturing systems.
