VMI Launches Modular Tyre System
VMI has developed a new tyre building system, designed to produce lot sizes as small as one tyre. The company behind the technology, launched at Tyre Technology 2005 in Cologne, claims it can improve quality, reduce cost and minimize floor space. The company reports that a single unit capable of making 1200 tyres a day, requires three staff and occupies significantly less floor space than the conventional equivalent.
