The carcasses rest while we make the next component.
The "Zero Degree Belt" has the shape of a spiral and
wraps around the carcass. We start with the steel
wires that will form this belt.
A machine pulls the belt tight, covers them with
rubber, and then rolls it onto the carcass that
we had previously built.
The fabrication of the carcass layers
is done with weaving machines,
similar to the ones that make fabric to
make the tread weave. Rayon, nylon,
polyester and other materials are
used. The layers are a textile fabric
with the shape of a strip and covered
with rubber. These strips are cut out
to the tire size and the carcass is built.
In this picture, we
can see our radial
tires with our latest
technology "Zero
Degree Belt."
