1. Rack for steel-cord reels

2. Lightweight clamping unit Is opened only when the emptied cord storage unit (3) is refilled.

3. Cord storage unit Contains the necessary amount of cord for one vulcanizing cycle.

4. Heavy cord clamping and tensioning device Once the cord clamping device has closed, a preset tension is applied to each individual cord between the clamp and the belt anchoring and pulling device (9), which is maintained during the entire vulcanizing process.

5. Cord guidance For every belt construction, the pertinent cord spacing is set by a pitch comb.

6. Mobile construction unit with construction press The construction unit is used to apply the extruded layers of core and cover rubber.

7. Mobile control platform Used for final inspection of the completed, unvulcanized belt.

8. Vulcanization press Working width: 3,200 mm. Specific vulcanization pressure at maximum belt width: 40 bar Heating medium: Pressurized water.

9. Belt anchoring and pulling device Produces the counter-force for the cord tensioning device and pulls the unvulcanized belt to the new vulcanization position against the preset force of the cord storage unit.

10. Mobile coiling stations
