Ensure precise sulfur addition in tire manufacturing with DDLC's AI-powered vision and poka-yoke error prevention
The Banbury mixer is critical in tire manufacturing, blending raw rubber with sulfur to create the vulcanized compound that gives tires their strength and durability. Ensuring the correct sulfur-to-rubber ratio is essential for product quality.
Process: Raw rubber moves on conveyor → Sulfur (yellow bag) added → Material enters Banbury mixer
Data Driven Logic Controller enables autonomous quality control with two complementary approaches to optimize sulfur addition and prevent defects
DDLC's AI-powered weight measurement automatically calculates and dispenses the precise quantity of sulfur proportional to the rubber weight, eliminating human error and ensuring consistent ratios.
DDLC's machine vision camera detects the presence of the yellow sulfur bag on the conveyor. The system only allows the conveyor to proceed when sulfur is confirmed, preventing defective batches.
Transform your Banbury process with intelligent automation
Precise sulfur ratios in every batch eliminate under- or over-sulfurization defects
Poka-yoke prevention stops defective batches before they enter the mixer
Optimal sulfur usage reduces waste and lowers raw material costs
Complete data logging for quality audits and process optimization
Automated processes reduce cycle time and increase throughput
Eliminate human error and ensure compliance with quality standards
