The document outlines the manufacturing process of radial tyres by the first Indian company to do so, highlighting their market share and partnerships with major automotive manufacturers. It details the various steps involved in tyre production, including blending, extruding, calendering, curing, and inspection, emphasizing the need for skilled labor and adherence to specific rules for effective production. The document also notes the importance of quality checks through manual and automated inspections.

4. 1) Banbury Blending
2) Milling
3) Extruding and Calendering
4) Component Assembly
5) Curing
6) Finishing and Inspection

5.  In this process the natural rubber and synthetic
rubber is blended with some specific chemicals
to get the rubber in the used form.
 Specific amount of carbon is added at the
initiation of this process.

6.  In this process the shaping of rubber takes
place as the rubber sheet comes out from
banbury mixer is not that perfect.
 This process takes place more than 2 or 3 times
for the same rubber lot, just to ensure the
regularity of the rubber sheet.

7.  Extruding process is a very important process
as it converts the thick and heavy rubber sheets
into thin rubber sheets.
 Many of the tyre components are made by this
process such as Tread, inner liner etc.
 This process is done by several different
machines such as Triplex extruder, Doublex
extruder etc.

8.  Calendering is the process similar to
sandwiching, as it sandwich or calender the
thin and sharp steel wires between the two thin
layers of rubber sheet.
 This process produces the steel belt which is
required in the radial car tyres.

9.  In this stage all the tyre components are
assembled together to make a “ Green Tyre “
with the help of assembling machine.

10.  This is the process where the Green Tyre is
cured in a Dom shape machine having mould
in its inside part at both upper and lower end.
 The tyre mounted on a bladder which is inside
the Dom and then the both ends of it are closed
and the tyre is cured in the presence of Dom
Steam, High Pressure Steam, Hot Water and
Cold Water.

11.  Finishing is to be done as some irregularities
are generated on and around the tyre after the
curing process.
 It is done manually by some skilled workers.
 Inspection is the last stage or process of tyre
manufacturing which is very important
regarding tyre’s quality.
It includes 3 types of inspection:-
1. Manual inspection
2. Weight balancing
3. X-ray inspection

12.  Learned so many ways that how to prepare a
tyre or mass production of the tyres effectively
and efficiently.
 Some specific rules are necessary before doing
the production.
 Skilled labour is required to handle the
machines.
 And I also learned that how to work in an
industrial atmosphere sincerely and
systematically.
