Mold Designs

Molds are 6 piece segmented molds. We will work with you to determine your requirements for mold designs and mold sizes. Consideration will be given to number of presses and change over time.

Monorail System

We will help you evaluate proper monorail design and the most economical way to revise and add to your existing system.  The cost of a monorail system is very shop specific and cannot be reasonably estimated without actual layout design.

Ancillary Equipment

Most other manufacturing equipment from an existing precure shop may meet AcuTread® Process requirements.  This includes initial inspection stations, pneumatic lifting equipment, final inspection equipment, tire painter, etc.

Tracking and Reporting

AcuTread® Technology uses a computerized bar coding system to facilitate easy tracking and reporting for our customers. This technology gives our clients peace of mind in knowing their same tire will always be given back to them.

Only rubber compounds developed and approved by the AcuTread® Alliance Group may be used in the AcuTread® Process tires. Licensee is required to purchase rubber directly from an AcuTread® Alliance Group approved supplier at current prices.  Due to market condition this price can change at times.
