An unvulcanized rubber extruder that realizes extrusion forming of an unvulcanized rubber extrudate ensuring manufacturing of a high-quality tire without any increase of tire manufacturing steps. In the vicinity of left side end portion, in the drawing, of unvulcanized rubber (A) (rubber chafer part), unvulcanized rubber (B) flows along parallel wall (56) on the downside of main rubber flow channel (34) and flows along second inclined surface (38) on the upside of the main rubber flow channel (34). Simultaneously, apart from the main flow of the unvulcanized rubber (B), portion of the unvulcanized rubber (B) is extruded out in the direction perpendicular to auxiliary rubber flow channel (44) (arrow B direction). Accordingly, in the left side end portion, in the drawing, of unvulcanized rubber (A) (rubber chafer part), it appears that the upside and downside are shut in by the flow of the unvulcanized rubber (B).
An unvulcanized rubber extruder having a first extruder main body that extrudes a first unvulcanized rubber, a second extruder main body that extrudes a second unvulcanized rubber, an extrusion head that connects a distal end portion of the first extruder main body and a distal end of the second extruder main body, and a flow path forming mold that leads the first unvulcanized rubber and the second unvulcanized rubber out toward a cap at an extrusion head distal end portion, the unvulcanized rubber extruder extrusion-molding an extruded rubber member having a cross-sectional shape in which, when viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to an extruding direction of the extruded rubber member, a portion of the second unvulcanized rubber penetrates into the first unvulcanized rubber, and a portion of the first unvulcanized rubber is disposed at both sides in a direction intersecting a penetrating direction that the second unvulcanized rubber has penetrated,
