The moulding and curing process is fully controlled and monitored by means of PLC Siemens S 7 (or as per the customer's request)
The loading device allows relocation of semiproduct to the press and subsequent relocation of final tyres off the press.
All the above data can be modified as per the customer's request.
Description of curing press VL 100”
In the years 2002-2003, first curing presses 100" were designed and manufactured. The development project was prepared with the financial support of the EU Phare programme and the Czech Republic's budget. The press VL 100“ offers a variety of newly utilised technological and design solutions. An original design that combines the traditional mechanical BOM system along with a hydraulic design of movements and central mechanism was used (membrane controlling cylinders).
Lifting and tilting of the upper parts of the steam dome is solved by means of pulls and eccentric wheels, the drive comprises a pair of electric motors with direct drive via a pinion. As standard, we use NORD drives. Tilting is performed by a pair of hydraulic cylinders. Customer can choose among several variants of hydraulic equipmentmade by prominent world manufacturers. Both movements are speed adjustable. The press is equipped with a thermal insulation of the steam dome.
The entire activity is controlled from a control cabinet, including the loading and withdrawing device. As standard, we provide our presses with Siemens or Alain Bradley control system.
In automatic mode, the press operates from gripping the semiproduct in front of the press, up to lowering of a final tyre to the cooling place next to the press.
Presses are typically delivered in a version with a steam dome or with heater plates. In both cases, the pressure vessel certificate is a matter of course.
