ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All of the praise belongs to almighty Allah, without His guidance I am nothing. All of

our faith belongs to him and by his grace I have completed our two weeks internship

program in General tyres (production department).

It was really an interesting period of learning because the knowledge that I gained

theoretically from the books became practical here with additional technical aspects,

and the experts here made that much fruitful for me by their guidance. Another thing

is that the other staff (foreman, engineer, etc) became very helpful in the whole

process of learning they really showed their high moral behaviour to me.

I also want to pay high regards on behalf of my institution “Dawood University of

Engineering and Technology” for giving me this opportunity and I was very grateful

from the depths of my hearts to my supervisor Sr. Manager Productions and other

engineers and the other staff that was included in this program.

INTRODUCTION OF GENERAL TYRE

The General Tyre and Rubber Company of Pakistan Limited (Gentipak) is the Pakistan’s

premier Industry. It was established in 1963 by General Tyre USA and has been in production

since 1964.

Gentipak has a Technical Services Agreement (TSA) with Continental AG (Germany’s

largest tyre manufacturer) which enables it to product tyres of “GENERAL” brand and

provides the latest technology for production of tyres based Continental’s, Research and

Development (R&D).

Gentipak is the major supplier of tyres to the local automotive and tractor

assembly plants. It has contracts to supply 15” radial passenger car tyres to

Toyota and Honda approved after stringent testing by their principal companies

in Japan. Beside above, Gentipak is also supplying tyres to Pak Suzuki Motor

RAW MATERIAL Raw material are obtains from following industries.

Rubber Industry

Textile Industry

Chemical Industry

Steel Industry

RUBBER INDUSTRY:

1) There are two types of rubber used for making tyre i,e synthetic and natural rubber.

2) Latex contains about 70% natural rubber.

3) Latex is obtained from tree called “Hevea Brasiliensis”. Cuts are made in the tree’s core

(cambium) where the rubber is stored; Slanted cuts from left to right side of 10 to 20 degrees

are made.

4) Natural rubber, or polyisoprene is the basic elastomer used in tire making.

5) Halobutyl rubber is used for the tubeless inner liner compounds, because of its low air

permeability. The halogen atoms provide a bond with the carcass compounds which are

mainly natural rubber. Bromobutyl is superior to chlorobutyl, but is more expensive

6) Elements or Compounds of various synthetic materials, similar to natural rubber, made by

polymerizing Unsaturated Hydrocarbons, such as Isoprene and Butadiene. General Tyres

are using NR, SBR (O.E),(W.O.E),PBR, IBR, BBR.

7) Styrene-butadiene co-polymer (SBR) is a synthetic rubber which is often substituted in part

for natural rubber based on the comparative raw materials cost.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The tyre cord fabric is comprised of warp cords oriented in the longitudinal

direction and weft yarns oriented in the lateral direction. The warp cords are

used in reinforcing the carcass of the pneumatic tires. In General Tyre And

Rubber (GTR), Nylon and Polyester fabric are imported from approved sources

of Continental AG (Germany).

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

The chemicals used in General Tyres according to specific requirements are:

Peptizing Agents, Plasticizers, Carbon Black(filler), Bonding Agents, Organic & In-Organic

Activators, Extenders, White Fillers, Vulcanizing Agents(Sulphur), Accelerators, Retarders,

Mould Release Agents(Silicon).

1) Carbon Black, forms a high percentage of the rubber compound. This gives reinforcement

and abrasion resistance

2) Silica, used together with carbon black in high performance tires, as a low heat buildup

reinforcement

3) Sulphur crosslinks the rubber molecules in the vulcanization process which makes the tires

hard and heat resistant

4) Vulcanizing Accelerators are complex organic compounds that speed up the vulcanization

5) Activators assist the vulcanization. The main one is zinc oxide

6) Antioxidants and antiozonides prevent sidewall cracking due to the action of sunlight and

ozone

7) Tackifiers are added for formulating adhesives to increase the tack, the stickiness of the

surface of the adhesive. They are usually low-molecular weight compounds with high

glass transition temperature.

STEEL INDUSTRY:

Steel cords (Brass coated) are used In General Tyre for the formation of Bead & Steel Belts.

Bead wire is coated with special alloys of bronze or brass to protect the steel from corrosion.

Copper in the alloy and sulfur in the rubber cross-link to produce copper sulfide, which

improves bonding of the bead to the rubber. Beads are inflexible and inelastic, and provide

the mechanical strength to fit the tire to the wheel. Bead rubber includes additives to

maximize strength and toughness of tyres.

CHEMICAL FORMULA OF TYRE

COMPONENTS OF TYRE

Tread – it is thick layer (approx. 18-20 mm) of rubber which comes into contact with

road.

Rib – it is designed for noise suppression.

Grooves – to traction in all weather, directional control, cool running and all rolling

resistance.

Sips – serves as the support for the wheel moving on the road.

Shoulder – upper portion of the side wall just below the tread edge that affects tyre

heat behavior and cornering characteristics.

Cap Plies – main load baring components layers of fabric cord extending from bead

to bead to reinforce the tyre and maintain the shape.

Steel Belt –located below cap plies to increase tensile strength of tyre. steel belt or

layer provides well balanced combination of rubber & fabric. Thickness is 0.2 to 0.38

mm. this are the steel cord plated with copper or zinc.

Radial Plies – thin layer of rubber inside the tyre containing compressed air tube.

Sidewall –portion between tread to bead. it is rubber sheet 1.5 to 3.5 mm thick

protecting tube from any kind of mechanical or physical damage and moisture

penetration.

Bead Chafer – narrow strip of flex material around the outside of the bead that

protects tyre against wear & tear and prevent dirt and moisture from getting into

the tyre.

Bead – structure composed of high tensile strength steel wire which holds the tyre

assembly onto the rim of the wheel for handling performance.

Inner Liner – The Inner liner is the air retaining member and is usually calendared as

a two layer laminate having stepped edges. Usually thickness=2.5mm

Breakers- . These are fabric plies placed directly on the upper-most ply beneath the

tread rubber. They disperse stress throughout the tyre.

COMPOUNDING AND BANBURY

MIXING: This section is known as compounding and it is consist of two

batches.

In first batch rubber stock, carbon black and other chemical

ingredients are mixed in banbury to create a homogeneous

rubber material is called master batch rubber.

In second batch, master batch rubber again fed into the banbury

with vulcanizing agent (sulfur) and other chemical additives

now the rubber formed is known as finish rubber.

The mixing operation is typically a batch operation, with each

batch producing more than 200 kilograms of rubber compound

in less than three to five minutes.

Banbury contains two rollers which movies anticlockwise and mix ingredients.

Ingredients mixed to produce heat of mixing which can rise the temperature above 160-170

degrees Celsius.

If the temperature is too high, the compound can be damaged, so the mixing operation is

typically accomplished in two stages.

Temperature should not exceed 100-110 degrees Celsius otherwise scorching may occur

Thermocouples are installed to monitor the temperature inside banbury

As batch exit from banbury it is transfer in to the dumb/sheeter mill which convers it in the

form of sheet called finish rubber.

It conveyers to cooling line in order to decrease its temperature and the collected

It is then transferred to other areas for bead wire assembly preparation, inner liner

calendaring, steel and/or fabric belt/ply cord calendaring, tyre sidewall extrusion, and tyre

tread extrusion.

EXCRUDER

DUAL EXCRUDER

The operation consists of following steps:

Breakdown mill

Holding mill

Feeding mill

Hoppers

Two screws of different sizes

Die

This section is known as dual extruder because it is consisted of

two screws.

1st screw is 8.5 inch.

2nd screw is 10 inch.

The numbers of mills are arranged to heat up the finish rubber

It is then fed in to the extruder.

Two Mills are arranged for base and other two for cap.

In order to prevent from sticking from the drum cold water is circulated inside the drum.

Feed is heated in mill due to bond rupturing

Hot feed enters in triplex therefore it is also known as hot feed extruder

Cap and base both separately are fed in to the extruder and then combine together in such

way that cap with less width combine at the top of base having wide width and the exit

from die.

It is now known as tread.

It is then showered this water by passing through number of convers in order to remove

sensible heat so that further shrinkage cannot be done next process

Then it is cut in pieces of desired size of tyre.

It is used to make tread and side wall.

13

TRIPLEX EXTRUDER

This section is known as triplex extruder because it is consist of two screws.

1) 1st screw is 50mm

2) 2nd screw is 90mm

3) 3rd screw is 120mm.

It is used to make inner liner and side wall in general tyre.

Finish rubber fed into triplex without heating in the sheeter mill therefore is also known

as cold feed extruder.

It is heated inside the tube with steam and pin between cavity of screw are used to blend

Thermocouple are located inside in order to monitor the temperature

Temperature of exit feed should not be more than 120 C otherwise vulcanization.

Feed exit through die pass through to dancing roller which are used maintain the tension.

Feed is then goes through conveyor to cooling lines where water is showered to decrease

it’s temperature to the ambient temperature.

Cooling is done in order to avoid the shrinkage during cutting

It is efficient than dual extruder because it reduces the cost of labor in mill.

If required, Cushion gum can be applied separately.

CALENDARNG PRCESS. FABRICS

General tyre buy two types fabric which are made of nylon and polyester. Nylon fabrics are

used for heavy bias tyre which are specially made for truck and tractor etc, while polyester

for radial tyre both the fabric are weaved in such manner that the distance weft thread half

inch while warp thread close to each other in order to provide maximum strength in

longitudinal direction.

NYLON TYRE CORD FABRIC

1. Optimum reinforcing material

2. It forms strong inter chain hydrogen bonds. This

results in a stronger & more crystalline polymer

that softens or melts at relatively higher

temperature

3. It has a higher tenacity and is less subjected to

shrinkage.

4. High toughness

5. Superior fatigue resistance

6. Good adhesion to rubber

POLYESTER TYRE CORD FABRIC

1. High strength

2. Low shrinkage

3. High modulus

4. Increase extensibility

PROCESS

Calendaring process is done for making ply for tyres.

In this process these rubber is applied both side of fabric.

General tyre buys nylon and polyester in fabric form so they do not need additional

assembly to weave.

Fabric is inspected in machine and then goes through conveyors.

Banana rollers stretches the fabric before entering in to the calendaring machine.

Calendaring machine consisting of four roller drum.

Fabric passes through two middle rollers which are driven by motors.

These rollers having quit large rpm than other two supporting rollers.

These three rolls are heated by a steam and the temperature of these rolls is above

100 degree Celsius.

Finish rubber feds in these roller, get melt and expend over rollers.

Middle roller applied melted rubber past on both sides of fabric.

These winded rolls again let off for the pasting of squeegee layer.

Squeegee layer is used because it has high air permeability.

Number of cotton yarns are then sticks with that fabric.

15

These yarns are spaced at particular distance in order to avoid moisture or any trapped air

inside during curing.

These rolls are subjected to temperature of 45-50 degree Celsius.

Ply are wrapped in the fabric in order to avoid from sticking from each other.

Ply are then cut in next machine.

STOCK PREPARATION AND

BEAT/BAND BUILDING BEATS

The main function of the tyre bead wire is to act as reinforcement

It helps to get a proper grip of the tyre on the rim and locks the tyre onto the wheel

The tyre bead component includes

Steel wire loop,

Apex or bead chafer,

Chipper and

Flipper.

The bead wire loop is made from a continuous steel wire covered by rubber and wound

around with several continuous loops.

The brass coating is done to make the cross link with rubber during curing i,e coppersulfied

(Copper + Sulphur = Coppersulfied)

The Apex or bead filler is made from a very hard rubber compound, which is extruded so

as to form a wedge.

The bead wire loop and bead filler are assembled on a sophisticated machine.

Chafer, which protects the wire bead components;

Chipper, which protects the lower sidewall.

Flipper, which helps hold the bead in place.

Note:

The precision of the bead circumference is critical. If too small, tyre mounting can be a

problem; but if too loose, the tyre can come off the rim too easily under loading and

cornering conditions. After the circumference is checked, the bead component is ready for the

tyre building operation.

BANDS

Band is a set of plies utilized in tire building.

Plies are cut according to the circumferential size of tire and at an angle.

The plies are built at opposite angles forming crisscross pattern.

Band is built according to the ply rating of the tire.

It is distinguished by two types

1. Tractor

2. Truck/Bus

STEELASTIC AREA

Steelastic area produces steel belts which are used in Radial tyres.

High tensile brass coated steel cords are used in the construction of tyre belts.

The brass coating is done to make rubber adhere to the steel.

The storage of these brass coated steel cords is in a temperature and humidity

controlled environment which is called “Creel room”.

The temperature is kept around 27 degrees Celsius and humidity around 30%.

Due to moisture corrosion can occur which may cause the steel cord to lose adhesion with

rubber.

The steel wire passes from the creel room through rollers.

Then these wires are coated through cross head extrusion with rubber.

Ensure proper penetration of rubber between the cords and desired adhesion between

rubber and steel.

Cooling drums cool down the coated strips.

Cutter cuts the belts at required angle and length according to specification.

Winder assembly winds the belts which then going to storage area.

RADIAL TYRE BUILDING: The main components of first stage machine (PB-11, PB-13 to PB-19) for making carcass

are:

Drum

Bead applier

Turn up assembly

First stage of carcass building process.

First the inner liner is wrapped around a

drum for tubeless tyre portion.

Then ply of fabricated nylon covered with

rubber wrapped on top

The bead assemblies are then positioned,

and a bladder on the drum

is inflated and pushed in from both ends of

the drum, forcing the body ply to turn up to

cover the bead assemblies

side wall/pad wall apply on top

The main components of second stage machine (PR-1 to PR-5) are:

Belt and tread drum

Transfer ring

Expander

second stage of the tire building process

machine apply the steel belts in crisscross pattern

then nylon cap ply

in the end tread on the top

now this assembly is picked by transferred ring and then assembled with carcass on

expending drum

now assembly is called a green tire

19

BIAS TIRE BUILDING:

A type of construction of tire in which ply cords extending from

bead to bead are at angle

lying between 30 to 40 degrees. Successive plies at opposing

angles are laid over each other

to form a crisscross pattern to which the tread is applied. Green

tires of bias construction

are assembled in a single stage thus only one machine is

required for complete assembly of tire. There are currently six

tire building machines for Bias construction.

The main components of bias tire building machine are:

Drum

Bead applicator

Back tool assembly

The following components are assembled:

Drum squeegee

Bands

Beads

Sidewall

Chafer

Breakers

Tread

Drum squeegee Bands Beads Sidewall Chafer Breakers Tread

Number of bands and breakers to be used are dependent on the type of tire manufactured

i.e. truck/bus, tractor.

CURING DEPARTMENT Curing is the process of applying pressure to the green tire in a mold in order to give it its

final shape, and applying heat energy to stimulate the chemical reaction between the rubber

and sulphur is known as vulcanization. Curing improve the physical properties of tyre like

hardness and strength and elasticity

In General Tyre all curing machines are pneumatic Moulding is an act of shaping the green

(uncured) rubber into a cured product of required geometry by using a mould. Green tyre is

lubricated internally and externally. This lubricant helps in mould releasing.

BLADDER

The bladder is the flexible rubber which used in the curing press machine

One bladder can be used for curing 200 tyre

A bladder inside an uncured (green) tyre pushes it against a hold mould surface.

Curing machine commonly known as “Press Machine”.

There are two type of pressing machines

1. Platen type press

2. Dome type press

PLATEN TYPE PRESS.

In General Tyre, platen type press are used for curing radial tyre.

Platen type press are known as all steam curing.

In platen type plate are heated by steam.

It takes 11.5 min to cure.

High pressure steam enters at 240 psi and at temperature 206 C, and then drain

out.

Low pressure steam enters at 140 psi and at temperature 186 C and then drain

out, here we suddenly use low pressure because temperature comes down

gradually so that to avoid degradation and maintain stability.

Then introduce vacuum of 5 inches of mercury and generally mercury we used

because mercury is the high density and viscosity element.

DOME TYPE PRESS.

In General Tyre, dome type press are used for curing bias tyre.

Dome type press are also known as steam and hot water cycle.

In dome type dome is heated by seam.

It can take 48min, 70min or 80min according to nature of tyre.

Firstly we introduce steam at a pressure of 200 psi/inch and at temperature 198C, and

then drain out.

Then hot water introduce at a pressure of 250 psi /inch and at temperature of 166 C and

then drain.

Then cold water introduce at a pressure of 250 psi/inch and at temperature 32 C, just

because to maintain stability and avoid by degradation because cold water brings

temperature gradually.

OTHERS

General tyre also make and cure

Tubes, which is made up of special butyl rubber

Bladder, which are made for curing machine

Flappers, which is used in the interface of the tyre.

FINAL FINISH

Tyre inspection is the last step in the tyre manufacturing process—an important step in

ensuring quality in both performance and safety. The tyre inspection includes:

Trimming of the mold flash and micro-vents

Visual inspection for appearance and to spot obvious defects

X-ray examination to check internal structure and to spot defects

Tyre durability, uniformity and weight balance inspection

After a tyre passes these rigorous inspections it’s time for the rubber to meet the road! Our

tyre is ready to be put into service
