FLEXIBILITY, EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY
STEELASTIC leads the way with our range of highly flexible and efficient STEELASTIC® Steel Belt Systems, which are a proven, extrusion-based alternative, to calendering and off-line processing of premium quality steel belts / breakers.
Modern Tire Manufacturing Methods Aligned to Changing Market Needs
With the STEELASTIC steel belt machines, businesses have a manufacturing process that is fully aligned with changing market needs for lower capital investment, multi-SKU capability, high levels of automation and traceability, reduced utility usage, and ease of operation.
Steelastic range of steel belt systems can produce steel belt & breaker for the following tire types:
- Passenger Tires
- Truck and Bus Tires
- OTR Tires
- Aircraft Tires
- Non-Pneumatic Tires
- Rubber Track
If you are looking for high flexibility and quality with reduced capital investment, STEELASTIC’s extrusion-based calenderless steel belt systems fit the bill.
Why use an extrusion-based calenderless steel belt system?
There are many reasons to use a calenderless system when manufacturing steel belt / breaker.
Ultimate Flexibility
Our extruded steel belt systems allow for changes in finished belt angle, and width, in a matter of seconds. Changes in steel cord and compound can be achieved in under 20 mins. This provides the very high levels of flexibility demanded in the modern tire market, as the tire SKU count continues to rise.
Productivity
A single STEELASTIC extrusion-based steel belt system can manufacture up to 5,000 PCR steel belted tires per day, of multiple different SKUs. Typically, two, three, or more systems are operated together, providing tire manufacturers with the perfect mix of high productivity and flexibility.
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.
Closed Loop Automation
The Steelastic Next Generation Steel Belt system utilizes the latest measurement technologies, and the closed loop control, to automatically keep the final product within specification. Critically, this also reduces operator dependency significantly.
Enhanced Quality Control & Traceability
STEELASTIC Extruded Steel Belt 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.
