See how IIoT is revolutionizing the rubber extrusion process
KraussMaffei Extrusion

As an expert partner for the tire manufacturing industry, KraussMaffei delivers complete leading-edge systems to produce tire components. The company’s goal is to offer the made-to-measure solutions needed to succeed in today’s fast-moving competition.

The company’s product portfolio includes extrusion lines with the highest throughput rates; precise, cost-effective roller-head systems for rubber sheets and strips; strainer solutions for high compound quality; multiplex extrusion aggregates with up to seven extruders; unique machinery such as the C-Check device; CompoundRework system; sealant module and extruder for apex, bead and cap strip.

Steel and iron alone are not enough to help extrusion aggregates into a new era in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Machine efficiency, sustainability and safety are more in focus than ever, and the optimization of steel and iron alone will not lead to the goal of a smart extrusion aggregate. Condition monitoring ensures that the machine status is permanently recorded by measuring and analyzing specific variables such as volume flow or temperature to be able to demonstrate an optimum level of system availability. Coupled with augmented reality, the operator is quickly and reliably shown how to remedy the situation, if necessary with the support of the machine manufacturer. With digital twin, it is also possible to monitor, predict and optimize products and systems before investing in assets. Additional sensors, such as pressure or humidity, serve to extend the lifespan of an extrusion aggregate, if possible without the action of an operator.
