Before molding and vulcanizing the tyre, it is essential for GREEN TYRE to be preheated to certain temperatures. The preheating process easily raises the temperature from room temperature to 60 to 80 °C. Thus, ultimately reducing the molding time for the tyres.

The rubber compounds used for making tyres possess the ability to absorb electromagnetic waves efficiently. Hence, using a microwave for preheating enables faster heating as well as uniform heating from the core to the outer end of the treads. The size of the tyre also plays a vital role in the efficiency of heating. Conventional heating methods take time to penetrate and hence cause differences in the heating patterns.

• MICROWAVE heating acts instantly on a molecular level and heats the material uniformly throughout its volume
• The production time reduces by 50% as the microwave preheater takes care of the heating process.
• The installation space is also considerably lesser in comparison with conventional hot rooms.
• Since the Preheating rate of microwaves is faster than that of the molding press, one Microwave Preheating unit can also serve several molding presses and thus increase production by 30% to 40%.
• Microwave heating is an extremely viable technology for thick treaded tyres as well.
