Online Condition Monitoring &
Fault Diagnostics for Tire Industry

The tire and rubber industry faces the challenge of manufacturing high-quality products that comply with global standards, all while keeping costs low, as demand increases. A significant obstacle to ensuring machine availability is the lack of adequate maintenance and reliability expertise. It’s challenging to locate and hire individuals with experience in tire and rubber processes.

Machines involved in the mixing and calendaring of components, assembly of “green” products, curing and final finishing, and quality checks must be maintained in optimal working condition. The availability of these machines is crucial for achieving production goals.

Additionally, specific actions are required to alleviate distinct environmental issues such as carbon black and sulphur dust, along with high surrounding temperatures and humidity. These conditions affect not only the durability and reliability of the equipment but also the physical well-being of the plant staff.

To counteract the effects of airborne pollutants and heat on machine parts, a comprehensive knowledge of machine operating conditions is necessary.

Integration of digital condition monitoring is crucial to improve plant reliability. By utilizing Infinite Uptime’s predictive diagnostics, tire manufacturers can keep track of equipment performance, anticipate maintenance requirements, and fine-tune production processes based on immediate insights.
