Processed powders: micro-ingredients

Tire production line

Project objective:

Improving the preparation of micro-ingredients for tire production with the OP Dosing Carrousel from Palamatic Process.

An internationally renowned tire manufacturer was planning to optimize its preparation process for the micro-ingredients used in tire production.
The main motivation of this project was to improve dosing accuracy, process efficiency and the organization of ingredient storage to guarantee the quality of the final mix.
The micro-ingredients were prepared in bags for incorporation into the mixing line (Banbury) with the rubbers and other fillers. The use of the OP Dosing Carrousel played a key role in optimizing the micro-ingredient preparation process.

Proposed solution:

To meet the needs of the tire manufacturer, Palamatic Process proposed the OP Dosing Carrousel, a solution designed for the dynamic storage and manual dosing of minor ingredients. The OP Dosing Carrousel offers numerous advantages, such as a mobile scale mounted on a guide rail for precise ingredient measurement and independent modules for easy bin indexing.

Results:
Impact on the tire manufacturing process.

THE INTEGRATION OF THE OP DOSING CARROUSEL INTO THE TIRE PLANT RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS:

1. Precise dosing

Thanks to the mobile scale, the dosing of micro-ingredients has become more precise and reliable, guaranteeing better quality and uniformity of rubber compounds.

2. Increased efficiency

Indicator lights and easy access to ingredients saved operators time when preparing pre-weighed bags.

3. Storage organization

The OP Dosing Carrousel offers compact, well-organized storage of ingredients, reducing clutter and improving organization of the preparation area.

4. Adaptability

The system can store ingredients in volumes ranging from 5 to 25 liters, offering flexibility to meet the specific needs of the tire manufacturer.

Adopting Palamatic's OP Dosing Carrousel enabled the tire manufacturer to optimize its micro-ingredient preparation process, avoiding dosing errors and improving process quality. The improvements in terms of precise dosing, process efficiency and organization of ingredient storage have contributed to enhancing the plant's overall quality and productivity. Furthermore, the new system provided greater comfort for the operator and improved working conditions, delivering significant benefits. For further information, please contact our solutions experts.
