Compound mixing technology

Raw material handling

Every raw material is checked according to the certificate and specification before unloading

Material tracking with a by BAR code Material tracking through the SAP

management program Constant warehouse temperature control

Compound mixing technology

Automatic weighing and dosing system

Every formulation for daily plan is transferred from the network to a mixing line and weighing stations

Rubber bales and small chemicals are dosed by a conveyor belt with a double weighing check and a bar code check

Small chemicals are prepared in a special chamber with semi-automatic weighing stations

Carbon black and white fillers are weighed and dosed by the automatic system from big-bag

Plasticizers are dosed automatically from the underground tanks

Compound mixing technology

Rubber compound mixing lines

Mixing lines L1 (VIC 95), L2 (VIC 215), M48 (Banbury 230), V45 (double roll mill)

Mixing lines consist of mixer, one or two double roll mills and batch-off lines

VIC Variable intermeshing clearance mixers for better dispersion Calender mixing line for production of calendered sheets

Compound mixing technology

Automatic control of mixing procedures

Formulations, mixing procedures and parameters are automatically transferred with a daily plan to mixing lines.

Fully automatic mixing procedures. Mixing procedure is optimized by analyzing of mixing

histograms which are valuable data about process efficiency.

Compound mixing technology

Compound releasing and warehousing

compound is controlled according to control plan set by a compounding team

first control for each mixing batch is a rheometer curve (MDR), measured just next to the mixing line

compound is stored in a mixing room is until released on the basis of laboratory measurements.

released compound is transferred to sales warehouse, each pallet with a released compound is equipped with a

specification paper according to internal or customer requirements.
