-21. (canceled)
A system for producing rubber mixtures having expected properties comprising:
- a series of rubber mixture production installations that define monopassage and multipassage sequences of rubber mixture production, each rubber mixture production installation permitting execution of at least one rubber mixture production process, and the rubber mixture production installations including at least one initial mixing installation that performs an initial mixing process and at least two mixing and cooling installations that perform a mixing and cooling process;
- a first feed belt that transports a rubber mixture from the initial mixing installation toward a first mixing and cooling installation;
- a second feed belt that transports the rubber mixture from the first mixing and cooling installation toward a second mixing and cooling installation;
- and
- transport means that sequentially directs the rubber mixture from the second mixing and cooling installation to at least one additional rubber mixing installation, including the initial mixing installation and the first mixing and cooling installation, according to a rubber mixture recipe selected for producing a rubber mixture having expected properties.
