DEKUMA SOLID RUBBER TIRE PRODUCTION LINE
SOLID RUBBER TIRE MANUFACTURING LINES
The Dekuma Solid Rubber Tire Production Line is an integrated manufacturing solution developed for the production of solid rubber tires used in forklifts, port equipment, heavy-duty vehicles, ground support equipment, and industrial material handling systems, with high quality and repeatability. These systems are optimized for solid tire manufacturing applications that require high mechanical strength, long service life, and resistance to extreme operating conditions.
Developed based on Dekuma's engineering expertise in rubber processing and heavy industrial machinery, these production lines are preferred by global solid tire manufacturers thanks to their high-tonnage pressing capability, precise temperature control, and stable curing processes.
SOLID RUBBER TIRE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Solid rubber tire manufacturing is a specialized process that requires forming under high pressure and long curing cycles. Dekuma solid rubber tire production lines operate using multi-station pressing and vulcanization technology specifically designed to meet these requirements.
The main process steps are as follows:
• Preparation and preforming of the rubber compound
• Placement of the tire body into the mold
• Pressing under high clamping force
• Long-duration vulcanization at controlled temperature
• Cooling and shape stabilization
• Automatic or semi-automatic tire removal
This process ensures that solid tires achieve high load-bearing capacity and excellent resistance to deformation.
PRODUCTION LINE CONFIGURATION AND MODULAR DESIGN
Dekuma solid rubber tire production lines can be configured modularly according to production capacity and tire dimensions.
Typical line components include:
• High-tonnage solid tire presses
• Multi-cavity tire molds
• Central hydraulic power unit
• Mold heating and temperature control system
• Automatic loading and unloading systems
• Conveyor and material handling systems
Thanks to this modular design, solid tires with different diameters and widths can be produced on the same production line.
PRESS STRUCTURE AND CLAMPING FORCES
Solid rubber tire production requires very high pressing forces. The presses used in Dekuma production lines are designed as heavy-duty systems.
Typical clamping force ranges include:
• 3000 kN - 10,000 kN
• Higher tonnage options available for special projects
These high clamping forces ensure uniform compression of the tire body inside the mold and the formation of a dense and durable structure.

These values can be customized according to the type of solid tire to be produced.
HYDRAULIC AND HEATING SYSTEMS
The hydraulic systems used in Dekuma solid tire production lines are designed to operate stably under high pressure for extended periods.
Key advantages include:
• Stable force during long pressing cycles
• Low energy consumption
• Stable hydraulic oil temperature
• Long system service life
The heating systems ensure uniform temperature distribution across the mold, significantly improving curing quality.
