TIRE TRAY SYSTEM FOR GREEN TIRE HANDLING FEATURES > Fully integrated and automated system for green tires of all sizes > From tire building to curing presses with minimum gripping > Tracks each individual tire using RFID technology throughout the complete production process > Fast and space-efficient installation into new or existing production environments GENTLE, END-TO-END TIRE HANDLING The Tire Tray System is a complete automated process for handling green tires during the manufacture of passenger car radials (PCR) and light truck radials (LTR). Based on proven technologies, the Tire Tray System delivers 100% tracking and traceability at every stage of the tire handling process. The combination of transportation, sortation and storage into a single system, means that tires are loaded into a dedicated transport and storage tray immediately after tire build, either manually or via a robot-aided tire manipulator located at the tire building machine. BENEFITS > Higher capacity - less installed equipment > Improves quality, efficiency and reliability > System-wide visibility and control of the production flow > Enhances workplace ergonomics by eliminating manual handling of tires TIRE HANDLING Keeping the green tire in the same individually-controlled tray throughout the transport, storage and curing processes ensures gentle handling in addition to accurate tracking.

The basic principle of the Tire Tray System is to load each tire individually into a tray directly at the tire building machine for transfer from the building machine to the tray storage. Here it remains safe in the tray until called to the curing press. This type of gentle handling eliminates unnecessary gripping and manipulations of the green tire and increases process efficiency. The use of standard modular elements, which are integrated into custom configurations, allows the creation of ultra-flexible systems with a minimum footprint and tight vertical integration. Ultra-low energy...

Tray storage offers the option of short- and long-term production buffering of green tires between the tire building and curing process. The storage can also serve as a drying buffer for green tires after the application of release agent fluids at the tire spraying system. The storage is based on miniload technology and provides access to any tire at any time. This allows the oldest tire of a given specification to be extracted from the storage first using the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. The storage also provides immediate extraction of specific tires in the event of an error. The...

ACCURATE TRACEABILITY The Tire Tray System provides 100% accurate track and trace of all trays throughout the system. This makes it possible to locate and trace a specific tire at any stage of the manufacturing process. Operators can trace a tire either by requesting the current position of its tray or by using a system of pre-configured tracking points which automatically report items as they pass through the system. The trays can stop and restart at any time without losing the traceability of individual trays and tires. MODULAR CONCEPT The Tire Tray System uses modules such as conveyor...
