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.
Advantages of the Steelastic’s Cold Gum Edging System:
- Precise Application: Our Cold Gum Edging Systems employ advanced technology to ensure precise and consistent application of the rubber strip, whether top applied or wrapped. This guarantees optimal gum edging performance and minimizes material waste.
- Quality: Our gum edging systems are designed to eliminate stretching of the steel belt tire as the gum material is applied. This provides the highest quality of finished belt material produced during the tire production process.
- Speed: Our gum edging systems are fully automated to ensure optimized gum application at high speeds, allowing them to keep pace with modern tire component manufacturing equipment.
- Seamless Integration: Designed with versatility in mind, our gum edging systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing or new tire component production lines, whether they are from Steelastic, or not.
- Industry Compliance: As more and more tires require gum edged belts, our gum edging systems enable tire manufacturers to meet these ever more exacting standards.
