What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A carcass drum is a tire-building machine element used to support and shape uncured components while the first-stage tire body is assembled. A carcass drum generally provides an expandable building surface so plies, beads, and other body materials can be positioned in the required sequence before transfer to later shaping or finishing operations.

How it works

The Wyko 6-Section is a rotary drum design. The Wyko 6-Section drums are intended for machine types and size configurations that include inertia collapse. The Wyko 6-Section line also includes technology for applications involving multiple-bead tire constructions that simplifies the handling and removal of shoulder sections.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Wyko 6-Section belongs to the first-stage carcass-building part of tire manufacturing. The Wyko 6-Section is intended for tire industry applications and is designed for a host of machine types and applications.[1][2]

Applications

The Wyko 6-Section is used in tire industry applications. The Wyko 6-Section is designed for inertia collapse configurations. The Wyko 6-Section is also intended for multiple-bead tire constructions. The Wyko 6-Section line covers applications from small ATV tires up to giant OTR tires. The Wyko 6-Section line supports both radial and bias tire types.[1][2]
