Presentation

Challenges/trends/opportunities by future compounds on extrusion process

The current development towards e-mobility and the associated changes in requirements for tire production also pose new challenges (or opportunities) for Troester as a system supplier. Besides modified rubber compounds, topics such as efficient raw material usage (low start-up and scrap lengths) and tight tolerances have to be considered to achieve truly optimized systems. As a global system supplier, Troester is leading the way in continuous optimization of extrusion technology along with strong customer collaboration to ensure the highest level of productivity and to be prepared for the next generation of tires. Troester focuses on mapping the entire planning, design, manufacturing and assembly process within the company in order to be able to optimally utilize the experience of the individual areas for the customers. Development projects with industrial partners additionally substantiate this continuous further development.
