CCS is Solving Problems in Tire Manufacturing

The need for high-speed molding and curing in the tire manufacturing process presents unique challenges for the safe control of high-temperature and high-pressure steam presses and other hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Large, automated tire presses are sophisticated and expensive pieces of capital equipment that must work safely while handling high pressure and temperature cycles around the clock. However, the black rubber molding environment in steam media often contains many contaminants that can clog the ports of the pressure switch and prevent safe operation of the equipment.

This “dirty steam buildup” may not seem like the most pressing issue at hand, but clogged ports can lead to drift in pressure set point accuracy and total functional failure of the pressure switch. At this point, the press has to be shut down until the switch is replaced. To minimize this unnecessary downtime and added cost, CCS developed the exclusive, application-specific 6214 pressure switch series specifically for the molding and curing of green tires.

Using Pressure Switches in Tire Curing & Manufacturing

Pressure switches are integral to safety within the tire manufacturing and tire curing process. Read our article to learn why and take a look at how CCS switches are used in tire manufacturing.

Ideal Pressure Switch for Tire Curing Press

Here are the most important things to look for when selecting a switch:

• Improves press productivity
• Reduces or eliminates downtime
• Improves worker safety
• Flexible for multiple systems
• Flexible for multiple media
• Readily available
