TIRE BEAD WIRE MANUFACTURING

 

TIRE BEAD WIRE MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT


Bead wire application

Bead wire is widely used in rubber industry:

  • for the production of bead rings of tires;
  • reinforcement of passenger cars, trucks and light truck tires to give necessary rigidity to tire beads;
  • reinforcing steel cord conveyor belts and high-pressure hoses.

Bead wire is widely used for reinforcement of cars, trucks, light truck tires, to give the necessary rigidity to tire beads.

The main reinforcing element of the bead part of tires is a bead ring made of steel wire coated with bronze to provide chemical bond with rubber. Bead wire contains of fiber stands disposed so as to provide both high strength and certain degree of flexibility needed for mounting and dismounting tires. Carcass layers are wrapped around the bead wire fixing carcass layers and holds the assembly on the wheel rim, thereby preventing the tire from rolling or sliding, providing road performance of the tire.

Bead wire for bias and bias-belted tires is used on both sides of the tire. In cast tires bead wire is used for fixing the tire to the rim.

As steel cord as bead wire are coated with an alloy that increases the strength of the connection with the tires. Special brass coatings are used almost exclusively to the steel cord and only in some cases.

Bronze coating is most common for the bead wire. Chemical formation of adhesion to brass-coated steel cord is very complex. Brass layer made of zinc and copper, and the composition gradient of the steel cord to the rubber surface are very important for this process.

Theoretically, depending on starting reactivity of the mixture brass alloy forms intermediate layers of zinc, sulphide and copper. The rates of these layers formation are determined by the initial level and durability of the connection.

Environmental Protection

When this device operated three types of polluting waste are formed: acid vapors; waste water with acid-content; waste water coming from the brass plating line.

To eliminate acid vapors indoor air pollution control system is used.

For treatment of waste water with acid-content and waste water from the brass plating line: uniformity, neutralization, aeration, sedimentation and filtration are applied. Water can be discharged after reaching standards.
