On July 5th, arp held celebrations for tires cured with its 85” press in a renowned tire plant in China. This is arp’s global first 85” dual-mold hydraulic press, another symbol of OTR curing presses.
The press can open/close mold within 50 seconds, and cure tires with 1540mm O.D., enjoying high productivity. Its multi tie rods are placed evenly around molds to ensure well-distributed locking forces. Its fixed bottom mold, highly accurate parallelism and concentricity between top and bottom platens have paved the way to high-quality tires. The guide system of open/close is independent and free from mold-locking forces, so that it can remain the original shape eternally.
