Electro Tyre Processor

Conventionally, tyre re-treading is carried out through steam based heating system using fire wood. This system needs at least 1.5 tons of fire woods to cure a 14 kg of matrix (heavy duty matrix weighing up to 80 kgs.) and for proper vulcanizing the matrix needs a temperature of 150 degree Celsius. In addition to that, in conventional system the entire tyre is exposed to heating which leads in reduction in life of the tyre too. To minimize all these problems, the innovator has developed an electrically heating system for matrix in tyre vulcanizing. An Indian patent has been filed for the innovation and the Project has been supported under MVIF. The product has been licensed to Eastern Treads a group company of Eastern Masalas.

At present the technology is used for vulcanizing of tyres like auto rickshaw, heavy duty vehicles and tractors and the same can be applied in re-treading of two wheeler tyre with separate matrix.

Low maintenance and operational costs as it takes only 5 minutes to build up the pressure as compared to 20 min in conventional system. The conventional system needs Rs. 25/- worth of fire wood to re tread a tyre whereas the present innovation takes five units of electricity to achieve the same.

It requires 230 V with 18 Amperes of current at the maximum. It consumes 2 units, 4.5 units and 6 units of electricity for auto rickshaw, heavy duty and truck matrixes respectively.
