BEUMER Group first live demo of automated handling system for green tires
at Tire Technology Expo 2017

·  A more intelligent solution to handling green tires

·  Tire Tray system minimises damage to green tires caused by gripping

·  100% tracking of individual tires throughout the production process

·  Live demo on Stand No. 3020 at Tire Technology Expo 2017

BEUMER Group - a leading global supplier of automated material handling systems - will feature the first live demonstration of the innovative Tire Tray System on Stand No. 3020 at Tire Technology Expo 2017, Hannover, Germany, from 14-16 February.

Developed by BEUMER Group, the Tire Tray System automates the handling of green tires to minimise the risk of damage or deformation during the build and finishing processes. Each tire is loaded into its own individual-controlled tray as it leaves the Tire Building Machine (TBM). The tire is then stored, or transported directly to the curing press, whilst remaining in the same tray, providing a more intelligent and safer method of handling.

A world-leading supplier of cross-belt sorting solutions, BEUMER Group provides a unique range of solutions for handling finished tires at final finishing, quality inspection, palletising and logistics stages. Its broad portfolio of core products leads the way in technology and cost/performance ratio for high-end applications in the tire industry.

The live demonstration of the Tire Tray System will be on BEUMER Group Stand No. 3020 at Tire Technology Expo 2017, Hannover, Germany, 14-16 February.

The Tire Tray System is already generating significant interest within the tire manufacturing sector. It has already been installed and is in full operation on the site of a major global tire manufacturer.

The BEUMER Group is an international leader in the manufacture of intralogistics systems for conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation, and distribution. With 4,000 employees worldwide, the BEUMER Group has annual sales of about EUR 750 million.
