UNIXX Belt Maker

Smart Manufacturing systems

The UNIXX Belt Maker produces high quality endless steel belts thanks to an innovative and accurately controlled extrusion process able to handle a wide range of compounds.

The system’s unique flexibility represents a perfect match for the global trend of shorter production runs, greater diversity in tire specifications, and hands-off, eyes-off production.

The limited width of the extruded strip reduces scrap and waste from angle and compound changes. The automated and accurately controlled process, meanwhile,  produces a consistently high quality belt.

A highly efficient extrusion and cutting process, minimized waste and scrap, lower energy consumption, and minimal operator involvement all help to reduce the overall cost per square meter of steel belt compared to the conventional belt making process.

The UNIXX Belt Maker also offers the capability to produce thinner belts, which reduce tire weight and rolling resistance without compromising tire performance. This contributes to a lower fuel consumption and CO2e emission levels.
