SMALLER, FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENT
STEELASTIC leads the way with the highly flexible STEELASTIC® Steel Belt System, an extrusion-based, proven alternative to calendering and off-line tire manufacturing equipment.
Alternative Calendering Methods for Modern Tire Manufacturers
With the STEELASTIC steel belt system, businesses have an innovative option that provides the same quality as calendering equipment, but with more flexibility and less capital investment.
Now even smaller plants can have success manufacturing premium quality breaker and ply material for steel belted tires such as:
- Passenger Tires
- Truck and Bus Tires
- OTR Tires
- Aircraft Tires
- Non-Pneumatic Tires
- Rubber Track
If you are looking for high productivity and quality with minimal capital investment, STEELASTIC’s extrusion-based calenderless steel belt system makes it achievable. This process is also ideal for greenfield applications and factory expansions.
Why use an extrusion-based calenderless system?
There are many reasons to use a calenderless system when manufacturing steel belt tires.
Efficient, High Capacity
With the STEELASTIC calenderless, extrusion-based system, you can manufacture up to 8,000 steel belt tires per day. Higher speed cut and splice operation also offer increased productivity. This type of efficiency makes the Steelastic belt cutter an excellent choice for productivity.
Closed Loop Automation
Our calenderless system means less operator involvement. The steel belt system uses the latest measurement technologies, and the closed loop control locates and corrects imperfections quickly.
Quick Changeovers
High flexibility enables multiple product codes per shift with fast changeovers. Automatic knife angle adjustment also contributes to speed of changeover. Calenderless systems are a great alternative and are designed for fast, automated transitions.
One-Stop Process
The extrusion-based, calenderless tire manufacturing system makes extrusion to wind-up a one stop process, eliminating additional handling and processing. The system allows you to gum edge and slit in line and requires only one operator per system.
Traceability in a Calenderless System
The STEELASTIC Extruded Steel Belt System offers full product inspection and traceability. The entire production process is is monitored in real time.
Less Obtrusive Footprint
The smaller footprint, further reduced through parallel pick-and-place slicing, makes it more versatile. The lower operation noise level is another benefit for your manufacturing floor.
Cost- Effective
An extrusion based calenderless tire manufacturing system, is generally cheaper than a typical calender machine. It is a flexible, cost-effective solution.
