ABSTRACT

Sport cars with a maximum speed of higher than 270 km/h and sport utility vans are widely available nowadays. Tires for these cars have to fulfil very tough requirements regarding car handling, safety, and grip as well as slip resistance under extreme road conditions. The tangential rotor type and the intermeshing rotor type. The latter one interferes with the adjacent rotor and turns at the same rotor speed compulsory. In the drop door or through the side plates a thermocouple is mounted to record the temperature of the rubber. The material flow in an internal mixer is oriented vertically. On top of the internal mixer a more or less sophisticated feeding system can be found. Underneath the mixer a downstream device, such as a sheeting extruder with one or two tangential screws, or two roll mills are placed. Bulk materials and fluids are supplied by means of road tankers and transferred and stored in storage silos.
