Featuring the Steelastic extrusion technique, these systems maintain precision cord positioning, gauge control, and overall dimensional stability of the strip.
Our Next Generation Extruded Steel Belt Systems deliver the ultimate in quality, versatility, and efficiency by minimizing processing time, labor, maintenance costs, and scrap.
Steelastic’s Next Generation Extruded Steel Belt System can produce steel belt and breaker for the following tire types:
-
- Passenger & Light Truck Tires (PCR & LT)
- Truck and Bus Tires (TBR)
Next Generation Extruded Steel Belt System Benefits:
Automation
- Multi-camera AVIS inspection system, with closed loop feedback to keep the finished belt in specification via:
- Auto angle adjustment (knife)
- Auto belt width adjustment
- Auto splice correction
- Significantly reduced operator dependence
Productivity
-
-
- Increase in productivity (3-15% greater output than our Classic Steel Belt Systems, dependent on product specifications)
- Reduced changeover and startup time
- Quick change tooling
- Eliminates the need to move cutter, conveyor, and downstream equipment
- Speed of cut and splice action not reduced with wider finished material
-
Environment
-
-
- Reduced overall machine footprint
- ≥10dB noise reduction
-
