Tire Production Line and Factory Setup

A tire production line is a complete industrial system designed to transform rubber compounds, fabrics and steel into finished tires under controlled process conditions. The line produces passenger, truck or specialty tires ready for testing and distribution.

From an industrial perspective, tire manufacturing is important because it combines compound mixing (Banbury), component preparation, tire building, curing (vulcanization) and testing into a coordinated process. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, sulfur, additives, fabrics, steel cord and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of Banbury mixers, extruders, calendars, tire building machines (TBM), curing presses and testing equipment.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new tire plant as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The tire production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering compound mixing, component preparation, tire building, curing and testing. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from medium to large industrial throughputs, depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include passenger car tires, truck tires and specialty tires. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: Banbury mixing, component extrusion and calendaring, tire building on a drum, curing in a mould under heat and pressure, and final testing.

Main machinery groups include Banbury mixers, extruders, calendars, tire building machines, curing presses and testing equipment. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power (500–1500 kW), process gas (2000–5000 m³/h) and water (50–200 m³/day).

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation (typically 30–60 persons per shift). Quality control covers compound properties, dimensional accuracy, balance, uniformity and packaging integrity. Finished tires are stored under ambient conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial tire production line can manufacture passenger, truck and specialty tires of various sizes and performance grades depending on compound design, building method and curing parameters. Packaging formats are selected according to target markets.

Raw Materials for Tire Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for compound properties, durability and performance. The main materials are natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, sulfur, additives, fabrics and steel cord.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Compound Mixing (Banbury) – Natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, sulfur and additives are mixed to form the compound.
  2. Component Preparation – Extruders and calendars produce tread, sidewalls, plies and other components.
  3. Tire Building – Components are assembled on a tire building machine (TBM) to form the green tire.
  4. Curing (Vulcanization) – The green tire is cured in a mould under heat and pressure.
  5. Testing and Packaging – Finished tires are inspected, tested and packaged.
