Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a blended rubber composition directly onto a tire building drum or core is described. A first extruder and a first gear pump for a first compound is provided. A second extruder and a second gear pump for a second compound is provided. The output of the second gear pump is fed into the main extruder. A third gear pump is provided for adding an accelerator mixture; mixing together said first compound and said second compound and said accelerator mixture.
Claims8
An apparatus for applying a mixture of a first compound and a second compound, the apparatus comprising:
- a main extruder in fluid communication with a first gear pump for processing a first compound;
- a second extruder and a second gear pump for processing a second compound, wherein the output from said second gear pump is fed into the main extruder, and a computer controller for controlling the mixture ratio of the first compound to the second compound by the ratio of the first gear pump to the second gear pump.
A method of applying a blended rubber composition directly onto a tire building drum or core, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first extruder and a first gear pump for a first compound;
- providing a second extruder and a second gear pump for a second compound, directing the output of said second gear pump into the main extruder;
- providing a third extruder and a third gear pump for an accelerator mixture;
- mixing together said first compound and said second compound and said accelerator mixture.
