Overview of Rubber & Tire Machinery
Production of tires requires a complicated production system such as the mixing process in which carbon and chemicals are mixed into raw rubber, the building process in which various rubber sheets are used to build up a rough shape, the curing process in which heat and pressure are applied to achieve the final product shape, and the inspecting and testing process of completed tires.
As for tire types, a wide variety of tires is produced including those for passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, agricultural machines, and giant tires for super-sized construction machinery, as well as tires for racing cars and aircrafts.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is manufacturing and selling tire production equipment used for the main equipment of the production system required for the production of those various tires in response to every kind of customers' needs, and have won our customers' high trust.
Our hydraulic curing machines, in particular, have been awarded the largest share in the world market and we have established the position as a leader among other tire machinery manufacturers in the world.
Moreover, in addition to the customers who are involved in the tire industry, we have delivered many high-performance mixers (rubber mixers) and curing machines to the customers who produce industrial rubber products (such as industrial rubber packing, rubber vibration isolator).
