HOW TO SELECT YOUR

RUBBER AND TYRE MACHINERY?Hear what the CEO’s say about Quality, Price, Technology, Flexibility and Automation.

If you are reading this today, then

I presume it is crucial for you to

select the right machinery from the right

supplier for your production requirements. Otherwise, I am

sure you have better options like sipping a chilled beer on a

beautiful beach and embrace nature’s beauty one bottle at

a time. Or focusing on your core business operations.

This subject question could have volumes written in theory.

But today we focus on what the CEO’s advise, distilled down

from their experience, expertise, and wisdom.

Your equipment supplier

ecosystem includes New

Manufacturers, Rebuilders,

OEM Suppliers, Pre-Owned

Machinery Suppliers and

Agent representatives.

So I asked all the CEO’s

the same question to give

you a true perspective.

“What would you advice

on machinery selection

to buyers and users of

rubber and tire

equipment?”

The different views they

offered here are not only

insightful, they are

pertinent, prudent and

practical.

Read on....

“Machinery selection is an art by itself and should be done by

people who have visions, both technical and commercial. Our

advice is always to check references, compare technical

capabilities and prices”

Jacob Peled

Executive Chairman

Pelmar Engineering Ltd.

Always check references, compare

technical capabilities and prices.

Prof. Dr.-Ing Andreas Limper

Member Of The Management Board

Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbH

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's

worse to pay too little.

“Let me answer with a

worldly wisdom of

John Ruskin. “It's unwise

to pay too much, but it's

worse to pay too little.

When you pay too much,

you lose a little money –

that is all. When you pay

too little, you sometimes

lose everything, because

the thing you bought was

incapable of doing the thing

it was bought to do. The

common law of business

balance prohibits paying a

little and getting a lot - it

can't be done. If you deal

with the lowest bidder, it is

well to add something for the

risk you run, and if you do

that you will have enough to

pay for something better”

Rakesh Sharma

Director

AMCL Machinery Ltd

“I urge the buyer to understand

Technology source of vendor,

their plant facilities, overall

experience in machinery

manufacturing. This apart they

should review the list of

customers to whom the supplier

has sold their products. When

buying, there will be need for

significant technical data, hence

buy from a vendor who has good

technical staff. You should also

check their certification like ISO/

CE and other quality standards.”

I urge the buyer to understand

Technology source of vendor their plant

facilities, overall experience in

machinery manufacturing.

“My input to the buyers regarding machinery selection

would be to evaluate the features that are required by you

for your processes. Please do not beef up the product with

an intention of having all the features whether required

or not. Because every penny counts in the project stage.

Whatever money you put in, requires a return to be paid

to the owners. We have seen customers who use the bare

minimum features for their machines and keep their

investment on machine to the minimum and yet be a

leading player in the tire business.

Hence making of the functional specification is the most

important. Please leave the detailing of the machine to the

machinery manufacturers and demand the performance

parameters. In some cases the project team starts to

specify the design parameters of the machine, which is

best left the Machine manufacturer.

Select a supplier who is flexible and transparent. In the

project situations there are always changes that would

crop up. Hence you need suppliers who are ready to listen

to the tiny requirements of the customer and be ready to

meet the same with open and transparent manner.”

Arul Shanmugavelu

Chief Executive

L&T Kobelco Machinery Pvt Ltd

Select a supplier who is

flexible and transparent.

“Purchasing machinery is a major investment. They need

to be evaluated well. Quality comes with a price tag. If

you remove the price, what remains is scrap which will

produce nothing. Buying used equipment from good

suppliers is very important because they will give

working equipment and few companies like us can go a

step further to provide all services to customers under

one roof - from procurement till the consignment reach

their manufacturing unit.”

Harish Nene

Chief Executive

Pracsol Chemicals & Machinery

Quality comes with a

“Siemens scopes of supply

are automation components

like programmable logic and

motion controllers,

industrial PCs, drives and

motors. Machines of all top

tyre production machine

vendors are equipped with

Siemens components. And

automation at Siemens starts

not at PLC programming but

already at the definition of a

new tyre by our powerful

PLM tools.

Because of the wide-spread

of automation across the

factory it is essential for the

total cost of ownership of a

tyre plant: if there are many

different automation

suppliers combined in one

factory, training and spare

part cost will rise

dramatically. Also it is

difficult to implement new

automation concepts towards

Industry 4.0, because many

different communication

interfaces have to be served -

the nightmare for every MES

manager!

My advice: have a look on the

scope of supply. Does your

automation vendor also

supply PLM and MES to you?

If yes, this could be a very

valuable partnership!”

Peter Haan

Head of Global Business Development OEM, Battery

and Tyre Production, Industrial Automation Systems

Siemens AG

Does your automation vendor also supply

PLM and MES to you?

Internal Mixer: Top 25 Things You Should Know To Discuss With Your Rebuilder

The first step to rebuilding your 'internal

mixer’ is to select the right rebuilder.

(Also check on our portal for ‘17 essential

questions to select the right rebuilder for

your internal mixer’).

After, the mixer is disassembled and

cleaned, a joint inspection (between the

rebuilder and you/your company

representative) should be conducted at

work site.

During this joint inspection, you will need

to take or approve decisions on different

critical components of the mixer. Some of

these could be rebuilt, few repaired, very

few reused as it is and some will have to

be replaced fully.

If you choose your options wisely here,

you avoid being short-changed on the final

scope of work and get the best Return on

your Investment (ROI)......after all you

would not want to pay for something that

you can reuse!

So, what are the 25 key things you should

prepare for discussions on rebuilding your

internal mixer? Lets list them.

1. Chamber (Drilled) Sides - Reuse or

Replace. If the bore is out of tolerance and/or

surface worn out, this component cannot be

reused.


| MACHINERY |

Some of these (critical components)

could be rebuilt, few repaired, very

few reused as it is and some will

have to be replaced fully.

2. Rotors - Reuse or Replace. Some rotors can

be reused by rebuilding the profile if they are

not too old or not excessively worn out of

shape.

3. Rotor End (RE) Plates - Replace. Rarely

can this component be rebuilt.

4. End Frames - Reuse. In most of the mixers,

this component can be reused unless the end

frame casting has cracked.

5. Bearings - Reuse or Replace. Rebuilders

will recommend replacement on a

cautionary note, however exceptions are

possible if the bearings are new or not

damaged during disassembly.

6. Dust Stop Assemblies - Replace.

Always replace.

7. Oil injector - Replace. Always

8. Couplings - Reuse.

Because these are long-life components.

9. Door Support - Reuse. In most of the

mixers, this component can be reused

unless there is a crack.

10. Drop Door Shaft - Reuse. In most of

the mixers, this component can be reused

unless excessively worn out.

11. Drop Door (Door Top) - Replace. This

component usually exhibits higher wear

and tear. Hence, unless it is new, usually

recommended for replacement.

12. Latch Assembly - Reuse. In most of

the mixers, this component can be reused

as it is.

13. Linear Actuators - Reuse. Rebuild and

service them after dismantling.

14. Throat Plates - Replace. This component

wears out due to constant contact with

floating weight.

15. Floating Weight (Ram) – Reuse or

Replace. Depending on the condition.

16. Thermocouples – Replace. Always


| MACHINERY |

17. Hopper - Reuse or Replace. Rebuilders will

recommend replacement together with mixer

body. Depending on the condition, this can be

examined for reuse.

18. Hopper Front, Rear & Side Plates - Reuse.

19. Hopper Door - Replace. Always.

20. Piston Rod, Plates & Cup Seals - Replace.

Always.

21. Grease & Oil Lube Assemblies - Replace.

Always.

22. Hydraulic Cylinders - Reuse. Change the

seals.

23. Hardeners & Fasteners - Replace. Always.

24. Seals & Bushes – Replace. Always.

25. Rotary Joints – Replace. Always

Initial budget estimates notwithstanding,

these decisions on “Reuse or Repair” that

you take on the components (after

disassembly and joint inspection) impact

the final cost of mixer rebuilding.


| MACHINERY |

The cost (of reconditioning)

could either increase or decrease

depending on the trade-offs you

are willing to take.

wisely-and-avoid-being-deceived/RMW

The cost could either increase or decrease

depending on the trade-offs you are

willing to take. If you have chosen a good

rebuilder, he will guide you towards an

informed decision – finely balancing the

cost and the optimum restoration of your

mixer.
