Plant for producing tires of different types simultaneously

A method for producing types of tyres different from each other, comprising:

• making a plurality of structural components for the tyres;
• manufacturing the tyres by assembling the structural components in proximity to work stations corresponding to the structural components;
• moving the tyres being manufactured to and from the corresponding work stations arranged in a manufacturing unit;
• transferring the manufactured tyres to a vulcanizing unit;
• and
• vulcanizing the tyres in corresponding vulcanizing moulds associated with the vulcanizing unit;
• wherein the structural components are assembled on a corresponding toroidal support or toroidal drum,
• wherein an external shape of the toroidal support or toroidal drum essentially reproduces an internal configuration of the tyre being produced,
• wherein at least one of the structural components is made directly on the tyre being produced, and
• wherein manufacturing the tyres comprises:
• providing at least one series of tyres to be produced, wherein the at least one series of tyres comprises a sequence of at least a first type of tyre and a second type of tyre, different from the first type of tyre, arranged in a predetermined order;
• and
• modifying the predetermined order in proximity to at least one of the corresponding work stations, so that a total time a corresponding structural component is assembled on the at least one series of tyres is less than or equal to a time for the vulcanization of the at least one series of tyres.
