Rubber Mixing and Extrusion
In the tire industry, rubber mixing and extrusion are crucial processes that demand accurate temperature control for consistent quality and durability. During rubber mixing, the intense friction generates heat that needs to be efficiently dissipated to prevent compound degradation and ensure proper material blending. Similarly, extrusion requires precise cooling to maintain the ideal viscosity and flow of rubber as it forms tire components. CST’s cooling solutions, including advanced adiabatic coolers and closed-loop systems, provide reliable temperature management, enhancing product consistency and operational efficiency while significantly reducing water usage in these intensive applications.
Mold Cooling
Mold cooling is essential in the tire industry to ensure precise shaping and consistent quality of molded tire components. During the molding process, heat generated by the press needs to be rapidly dissipated to maintain the desired temperature for consistent curing and to prevent defects. CST offers efficient cooling solutions, such as closed-loop and adiabatic cooling systems, that provide controlled and efficient temperature management. These systems help reduce cycle times, improve product quality, and save water, making them an ideal choice for mold cooling in tire manufacturing.
Hydraulic Systems
In the tire industry, hydraulic systems are critical for powering equipment used in processes like tire pressing, shaping, and curing. These systems generate substantial heat, which, if unchecked, can lead to efficiency losses, equipment wear, and downtime. CST’s cooling solutions, including closed-loop and adiabatic cooling towers, are designed to efficiently manage this heat, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and enhancing system longevity. By using CST’s advanced cooling systems, tire manufacturers can increase production efficiency, reduce energy costs, and minimize water consumption, making operations more sustainable and reliable.
