Tyre Manufacturing Process — Machines at Every Step
A step-by-step view of how rubber processing machinery is used across the tyre manufacturing process, from raw material preparation through to component production:
Step 1 — Raw Material Preparation
Natural rubber arrives in standard 33–35 kg bales. The Rubber Bale Cutter (MI-BCM) slices these into manageable sections before the compound line begins. Consistent cut size improves mastication quality and reduces mixing cycle time.
Step 2 — Tyre Compound Mixing
The Dispersion Kneader (MIKH Series) handles the primary compound mixing stage — combining rubber polymers with carbon black, silica, oils, and curatives in a closed chamber under controlled temperature. High-carbon-black tyre compounds require the intensive shear of an internal mixer for complete filler dispersion.
The Rubber Mixing Mill (M6–M8 AFB) completes the open-mill stage — final batching, additive incorporation, and compound sheeting before calendering or extrusion.
Step 3 — Tyre Cord Frictioning
The Calender Machine (MI-CL-18x54 or MI-CL-24x72, 4-roll Z-Type) forces rubber compound into the interstices of nylon, polyester, or steel cord fabric from both faces simultaneously in a single pass. This produces fully impregnated tyre cord ply — the structural backbone of every tyre.
Step 4 — Tread & Sidewall Extrusion
The tyre tread profile and sidewall strip are formed by the Hot Feed Extruder. Pre-warmed compound is fed into the extruder and forced through a shaped die — producing the precise cross-section profile required for tread or sidewall assembly. The inner tube is produced by a dedicated tube extruder.
Step 5 — Inner Tube Manufacturing
Inner tubes are extruded as a seamless rubber tube, cut to length, fitted with a valve, and vulcanised in a tube curing press. The Hydraulic Press (MI-HP Series) is used for tube vulcanising and for moulding smaller tyre rubber components.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tyre & Tube Manufacturing
What machines are needed for tyre compound preparation?
Tyre compound preparation requires: a Rubber Bale Cutter (MI-BCM) for front-end bale slicing, a Dispersion Kneader (MIKH Series, 75L–150L) for high-carbon-black internal mixing, and a Rubber Mixing Mill (M6–M8 AFB) for open-mill batching and sheeting. For tyre cord production, a Calender Machine (MI-CL Series) is also required. Modern Industries supplies all five machines.
Which dispersion kneader model is best for a tyre compound line?
For standard tyre compound production, the MIKH-6 (75L, 90 HP) to MIKH-9 (150L, 200 HP) range is appropriate. The choice depends on your target batch size and cycle time. MIKH-9 is preferred for high-volume lines where batch consistency across multiple kneaders is critical. Our engineering team will recommend the right model based on your compound specification and daily output target.
What calender machine is required for tyre cord frictioning?
Tyre cord frictioning requires a 4-roll calender machine — preferably in Z-Type configuration — to coat both faces of the cord fabric simultaneously in a single pass. The MI-CL-18×54 (75 HP, 51″ width) suits standard passenger tyre cord. The MI-CL-24×72 (250 HP, 69″ width) is used for wider cord and truck tyre ply production.
Do you supply machinery for inner tube manufacturing?
Yes. Inner tube manufacturing uses a dedicated tube extruder (for seamless tube extrusion), a tube curing press (for vulcanising), and upstream mixing mills for tube compound preparation. Modern Industries supplies the compound preparation machinery — mixing mills and kneaders — and the hydraulic press for tube vulcanising and rubber component moulding.
Can Modern Industries supply a complete tyre compound preparation line?
Yes. Modern Industries can supply the complete upstream line: Rubber Bale Cutter → Dispersion Kneader → Rubber Mixing Mill → Calender Machine → Hot Feed Extruder. Contact our engineering team with your daily compound output target, compound type, and plant layout, and we will prepare a complete line specification and quotation.
