In tyre manufacturing, the curing process determines the final strength, durability, and quality of every tyre. To ensure consistent production, Multiquadrant designed and manufactured a 78″ Tyre Curing Press Control Panel for BKT Tyres, Aurangabad, delivering reliable automation for one of the most critical stages of tyre production.
Application
A tyre curing press uses controlled heat, pressure, and timing to shape and vulcanize green tyres. This process requires precise coordination of motors, pneumatic valves, temperature sensors, pressure monitoring, and safety interlocks to achieve consistent product quality.
Technology Behind the Panel
The control panel is powered by a Siemens ET200S PLC, TP177B HMI, and Micromaster MM440 VFD, providing intelligent machine control, real-time monitoring, and smooth motor operation. Industrial PROFINET communication enables seamless data exchange between the PLC, HMI, and field devices for fast and reliable operation.
The system also integrates:
- Festo pneumatic valves, regulators, and manifolds
- Pressure transmitters, RTD temperature sensors, and safety switches
- Relay interface cards and industrial Ethernet networking
Together, these components ensure precise sequencing, accurate process control, and dependable machine performance.
Built for Industrial Reliability
The floor-mounted control panel features a robust CRCA enclosure with front access, organized cable management, separate power and control wiring, proper grounding, and IP41 protection. These design practices simplify maintenance while ensuring long-term reliability in demanding production environments.
Delivering Consistent Performance
By combining PLC automation, HMI visualization, VFD control, industrial networking, and pneumatic integration, the curing press panel delivers accurate process control throughout every curing cycle. The result is dependable operation, repeatable tyre quality, and efficient production—demonstrating Multiquadrant’s expertise in delivering robust industrial automation solutions.
