Rubber Mixing and Extrusion: MichelinLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Non-homogeneous rubber viscosity and inconsistent coextrusion profiles cause structural defects during high-speed tire tread assembly.

What technical problems is Michelin addressing in Rubber Mixing and Extrusion?

Profile Dimensional Instability

(61)evidences

Inconsistent flow and poor homogenization in the extrusion head cause geometric variations and surface defects in complex coextruded tire treads.

Batch Composition Variance

(42)evidences

Inaccurate raw material dosing and rigid mixing sequences lead to chemical property fluctuations and reduced productivity in multi-stage rubber compounding.
