Quality improvements with the use of automated tread booking systems

Automatic tread booking devices from SYSTRAPLAN are well known and used in the tire industry for quality assurance of treads and tires as well as for rationalization. SYSTRAPLAN, specialist for warehouse technique when it comes to flat materials, has a long history in building auto booking and handling systems for the tire industry. The experience we have gained over the years in building this system in large quantities has been put into practice. Since its establishment in 1974, SYSTRAPLAN has delivered more than 100 automatic and semi-automatic handling systems for treads, green and finished tires. This machine type has been further developed on basis of experience gained with a large number of machines.

Increase in Quality through Automated Feeding of Tire Building Machines

The issue of tread handling has always been a delicate matter for the tread production. Apart from the physical stress, the focus is also on the quality of the manual handling.

SYSTRAPLAN offers a technical advanced solution for the automated tread booking of leaf trucks at the end of the extrusion lines for many years. Automatic unloading of leaf trucks at tire building machines are yet often manually carried out by staff members.

SYSTRAPLAN now has presented a gantry for an automated discharging of treads from the leaf trucks.

GREEN TIRE LOADING SYSTEM

Gentle handling for green tires

Green Tyre loading and unloading systems are used for the careful handling and the continuous flow of spraying lines.

In the tire building area a green tire transport system is existing in order to collect the green tires from the TBM’s and handle the material flow through a spraying process.

[headline=2] The systems are designed for the handling and storage of cassette trucks for the tire industry. The full automatic warehouse for the cassette trucks ensures low personnel costs. Quick access avoids waiting times at the production and a continuous work flow is created.

Floor space is always limited in the production and rather expensive to be used just for storing material. In order to get more floor space in the production the overhead cranes are installed on a platform above the existing production lines.

The floor of the platform includes centering brackets, which are holding the cassettes trucks in a fixed position. The exact design has to be stipulated and is depending on the design of trucks of the customer.

Comprehensive solutions for tire handling, sorting and storage systems

Systraplan is well known for its high bay and area storage systems in the board industry. Now we also are offering our experience in this area to the tire industry.

On the end of the tire production is it necessary to arrange the finished tires. Systraplan has developed a fully automatic solution for sorting, buffering and storing tires. 

Specially designed picking devices, which are running on gantries, are handling the tires most carefully and safe

The picking devices can also be used for handling applications between the tire building and curing process as well as for palletizing and picking for commissioning in a distribution center.
