    Toyo Tire Talk: Subject: Toyo's Production System and Market Quality

    Uploaded by

    Rubber Team
    Toyo's reputation for high quality tires is due to its unique production process. [1] The production process involves extruding and applying various tire components like rubber and steel belts in a way that minimizes strain and stress. [2] Minimizing strain and stress during production helps prevent dimensional imbalance and non-uniformity that can occur in the final tire. [3] Toyo has developed low tension production systems and design processes like DSOC-2 that help maintain symmetry and uniformity throughout tire production and curing.

    Quality

    Tire Building Process in Sendai Plant Tire Inspection in Toyo Tire USA

    1.Introduction
    Toyo's reputation for high quality tires in the market place, is due to both the basic design
    concept and the production process employed . In this TTT and some forthcoming issues,
    we would like to explain the concept and design approaches behind Toyo's unique
    production processes, which enables Toyo to maintain its excellent reputation for quality
    products in the market place. In this issue we would like to explain the concepts involved
    in the production process.

    3. Basic Concepts of Production Process and its method

    Basic Concepts
    1) The constituent parts of a green tire should not be strained and remain low
    stressed throughout each production process .
    2)The Green tire should reach the Curing mold with symmetry and uniformity**

    The relationship between "Strain , Stress" in the production process and market
    quality
    One of the main production processes is "Extrusion" . The main tire parts are extruded ,
    forwarded and wound on to a roller or put on to plates for the next process in building a
    tire. The production process of building a "Green tire" is that each component is applied
    on to a drum ,and built up, each part adhering to the other . The tire parts (including steel
    belts, various rubbers and ply cords) suffer a lot of strain during these processes. All these
    materials have a general characteristic to shrink slowly after being strained and also to
    remain stressed inside to some degree. This can lead to an imbalance or lack of uniformity
    in dimensions or weight not only in the green tire but also in the finished cured tire.

    increases the weight in the area.

    In Toyo's plants , low tension systems have been established in every process. So, we can
    produce tires with a good and stable uniformity (including balance ). This has been
    brought about by a highly developed engineering technology, as well Toyo's own
    preparatory tire design system "DSOC-2" is unique.
    ** It will be shown in future TTT's how "curing symmetry and uniform conditions" have an influence on
    tire quality in the market place .
