Mixture (Smelting) Process Energy savings & simpler equipment Component feeders Power Cylinders Electric linear actuator with good power savings. Power Cylinders with no power consumption during stand-by have higher power savings compared to hydraulic types that use pumps, and pneumatic types that drive compressors full time. Just simple electric wiring enables their use for various applications. They are used in traversing conveyors and trolleys, as well as opening/closing hopper bottom covers. LCA assessment of Power Cylinders CO2 emissions Comparison evaluation result by Shinko Research...

Component Process Rubber sheets manufactured in the mixture (smelting) process are processed into components that form the tire, such as the tread and carcass. (Tread) The component that is in contact with the road surface and is processed to the most suitable thickness and shape. (Carcass) The component that forms body of the tire, it is a sheet with a cord layer that is coated with rubber. (Bead) Bundles of piano wires, which are useful for fixing the carcass, or fixing it to the wheel.

Forming Process Components such as tread, carcass, and bead that make up the tire are accumulated, wound, and affixed to the drum to be formed into the shape of the tire. The tire formed in this process is soft, and is called a raw tire (green tire). Component feeders Zero roll-in Plastic Modular Chain Raised rib type WT1907-K The gap at the junction is reduced to zero by combining with plates in a comb shape similar to that of escalators. This prevents roll-in of the end of rubber sheets. (WT1907-K overview) • Chain pitch: 19.05 mm Link height: 14.3 mm • Parts are all made of plastic for...

Vulcanization Process The tire is finished with excellent strength and elasticity by injecting, heating, and pressurizing (vulcanizing) the raw tire (green tire) manufactured in the forming process into the mold. This process applies grooves (tread pattern) on the tread portion that comes into contact with the ground. Reliable cable protection CABLEVEYOR® Electric cables are routed through the body to ensure the support and guidance of cables between moving devices and fixed ends. Various types of products are available, including compact and large sizes, open types (TKP), and closed types...
