INTRODUCTION
The world market right now is going down everyday. Lots of young professionals are losing their job. The financial crunch is making lots of companies to shut down as they are running in lose. Companies are not recruiting anyone now. This is a serious situation and if not handled wisely it will lead to lots of problem. Unemployment is a major problem faced by India even before the financial crunch.
Our government is trying hard to do something about it but no immediate result has come up. Lots of young professionals who have the talent and capabilities are left unemployed. Indians are well known for their skills and hard work but many are left with no platform to prove it.
We a group of 8 entrepreneurs decided to start something of our own. From lots of choices we selected TYRE MANUFACTURING. It is a partnership concern and the proposed site is at Valluyambram on a piece of land of 2 acres. It is about 12 km away from Malappuram.
Tyre Manufacturing
We a group of young entrepreneurs decided to build a tyre manufacturing unit at Valluyambram which is about 12 km away from Malappuram. We got 2 acres of land there and decided to make it there thinking about the following factors. Availability of power, water and raw material. It is away from the city so pollution problems are limited. There is a river near by and this place is accessible from 2 major highways. And there are no tyre manufacturing units in this region. Hence with a good distribution chain we can capture the market very easily.
Our plan is to setup a small but hi-tech tyre manufacturing unit. The tyre will meet with all the international standards. We expect to produce 4500 tyres in one month. An average of 180 tyres in a day. And with this project we will be able to give employment to about 75 people. And this industry will bring development to that area.
Tyre Manufacturing
Generally 10-15 people are employed. The technicians and engineers can start a small scale industry very easily now a days as there are lots of subsidies and special privileges given by the state and central government. Thus small scale industries provide a lot of job opportunities to unemployed and skilled laborers. The small scale sector is growing impressively these days in India. The investment limits:

Production
The small scale industries sector plays a vital role for the growth of the country. It contributes 40% of the gross manufacture to the Indian economy.
It has been estimated that a lakh rupees of investment in fixed assets in the small scale sector produces 4.62 lakhs worth of goods or services with an approximate value addition of ten percentage points.
The small scale sector has grown rapidly over the years. The growth rates during the various plan periods have been very impressive.
Year
The number of small scale units has increased from an estimated 8.74 lakhs units in the year 1980-81 to an estimated 31.21 lakhs in the yea 1999.
12
Tyre Manufacturing
From the year 1990-91 this sector has exhibited a comparatively lower growth trend (though positive) which continued during the next two years. However, this has to be viewed in the background of the general recession in the economy. The transition period of the process of economic reforms was also affected for some period by adverse factors such as foreign exchange constraints, credit squeeze, demand recession, high interest rates, shortage of raw material etc.
When the performance of this sector is viewed against the growth in the manufacturing and the industry sector as a whole, it instills confidence in the resilience of the small scale sector.
The estimates of growth for the year 1995-96 have shown an upswing. The growth of SSI sector has surpassed overall industrial growth from 1991 onwards. The positive trend is likely to strengthen in the coming years. This trend augurs a bright future for the small scale industry.
Export contribution
SSI Sector plays a major role in India's present export performance. 45%-50% of the Indian Exports is being contributed by SSI Sector.
Direct exports from the SSI Sector account for nearly 35% of total exports. The number of small scale units that undertake direct exports would be more than 5000.
Besides direct exports, it is estimated that small scale industrial units contribute around 15% to exports indirectly. This takes place through merchant exporters, trading houses and export houses. They may also be in the form of export orders from large units or the production of parts and components for use for finished exportable goods.
13
Tyre Manufacturing
It would surprise many to know that non traditional products account for more than 95% of the SSI exports. The exports from SSI sector have been clocking excellent growth rates in this decade. It has been mostly fuelled by the performance of garment, leather and gems and jewellery units from this sector.

Year
By its less capital intensive and high labour absorption nature, SSI sector has made significant contributions to employment generation and also to rural industrialization. This sector is ideally suited to build on the strengths of our traditional skills and knowledge, by infusion of technologies, capital and innovative marketing practices.
15
Tyre Manufacturing
The opportunities in the small scale sector are enormous due to the following factors : - Less Capital Intensive - Extensive Promotion & Support by the Government - Reservation for Exclusive Manufacture by small scale sector - Project Profiles - Funding - Finance & Subsidies - Machinery Procurement - Raw Material Procurement - Manpower Training - Technical & Managerial skills - Tools & Tools utilisation support - Reservation for Exclusive Purchase by Government - Export Promotion - Growth in demand in the domestic market size due to overall economic growth - Increasing Export Potential for Indian products - Growth in Requirements for ancillary units due to the increase in number of greenfield units coming up in the large scale sector.
So this is the opportune time to set up projects in the small scale sector. It may be said that the outlook is positive, indeed promising, given some safeguards This expectation is; based on an essential feature of the Indian industry and the demand structures. The diversity in production systems and demand structures will ensure long term co-existence of many layers of demand for consumer products / technologies / processes. There will be flourishing and well grounded markets for the same product/process, differentiated by quality, value added and sophistication. This characteristic of the Indian economy will allow complementary existence for various diverse types of units.

The promotional and protective policies of the Govt, have ensured the presence of this sector in an astonishing range of products, particularly in consumer goods. However, the bug bear of the sector has been the inadequacies in capital, technology and marketing. The process of liberalization will therefore, attract the infusion of just these things in the sector

Economic Indicators
The Small Scale Industry today constitutes a very important segment of the Indian economy. The development of this sector came about primarily due to the vision of our late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru who sought to develop core industry and have a supporting sector in the form of small scale enterprises.
Small Scale Sector has emerged as a dynamic and vibrant sector of the economy. o Today, it accounts for nearly 35% of the gross value of output in the manufacturing sector and over 40% of the total exports from the country. o In terms of value added this sector accounts for about 40% of the value added in the manufacturing sector.
o The sector's contribution to employment is next only to agriculture in India. It is therefore an excellent sector of economy for investment.

MARKET RESEARCH
It is a fact that India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world and it is also noted that small scale industries has a shaping part in the economy of any country. No one can neglect its presence due to which small scale industries are growing day by day.
We a group of 8 entrepreneurs decided to start a small but hi-tech tire manufacturing unit. We selected this place because there are no good tire manufacturers in our district. We all know that tire is a component which is very essential and have to be maintained in good condition. The no of 2 wheelers, 4 wheelers rolling out is increasing day by day. And they all will need a replacement after 20000 to 25000 km. hence the markets for tires are increasing. The area we selected is adjacent to rubber plantations and hence the transportation charges for raw materials are less.
Each 2 wheelers 4 wheeler the market have different size of tires. Hence the size of tires we manufactures vary according to the market requirements.

SOURCE OF FINANCE
Most of the small scale industries face financial crises throughout until they start making profit. In the beginning we have to go through lots of financial strains. But state and central government provide us with lots of subsidies and financial help so as to start our project. Once our project is approved by the authorities we can apply for loan from banks and other government agencies. A special department called district industry center is provided in every district so as to help us in every part of our project. They give us guidance to seek out the loan we require.
State government allows loans which are to be repaid in annual installments. First falling due after 2 years from the date of receipt of last installment of the loan. The interest is 10% per annum with a rebate of 2% for timely payments.
State financial corporation (S.F.C) grant loan for the acquisition of fixed assets up to 75% of total investment. The rate of interest is from 12 to 16% for various loans and duration of repayment if 10-12 years.
Nowadays banks finance the entire business cycle from the purchase of raw materials to realisation of scale proceed. Al nationalized and commercial banks have installed or started to grant loans to SSI's for formed as well as working capital and provide relaxation up to 60 month. The duration of payment is 5 to 8 years.

RAW MATERIALS
-
Natural rubber, or Polyisoprene is the basic elastomer used in tire making Styrene-butadiene co-polymer (SBR) is a synthetic rubber which is often substituted in part for natural rubber based on the comparative raw materials cost
Polybutadiene is used in combination with other rubbers because of its low heat build up properties Halobutyl rubber is used for the tubeless inner liner compounds, because of its low air permeability. The halogen atoms provide a bond with the carcass compounds which are mainly natural rubber. Bromobutyl is superior to Chlorobutyl, but is more expensive
Carbon Black, forms a high percentage of the rubber compound. This gives reinforcement and abrasion resistance Silica, used together with carbon black in high performance tires, as a low heat build up reinforcement Sulphur cross-links the rubber molecules in the vulcanization process Accelerators are complex organic compounds which speed up the vulcanization Activators assist the vulcanisation. The main one is zinc oxide Antioxidants and antiozonants prevent sidewall cracking, due to the action of sunlight and ozone Textile fabric reinforces the carcass of the tire
30
Tyre Manufacturing
TIRE CONSTRUCTION
The tire is an assembly of numerous components that are built up on a drum then cured in a press under heat and pressure. Heat facilitates a j polymerization reaction that cross-links rubber monomers to create long elastic molecules. These polymers create the elastic quality that permits the tire to be compressed in the area where the tire contacts the road surface and spring back to its original shape under high frequency cycles. Typical components used in tire assembly are listed below.
Inner liner
The inner liner is an extruded halo butyl rubber sheet compounded with additives that result in low air permeability. The inner liner assures that the tire will hold high pressure air inside, without the air gradually transmitting through the rubber structure.
Body ply
The body ply is a calendared sheet consisting of one layer of rubber, one layer of reinforcing fabric, and a second layer of rubber. The earliest textile used was cotton; later materials include rayon, nylon, polyester, and Kevlar. Passenger tires typically have one or two body plies. Body plies give the tire structure strength. Truck tires, off-road tires, and aircraft tires have progressively more plies. The fabric cords are highly flexible but relatively inelastic.
Sidewall
Sidewalls are non-reinforced extruded profiles with additives to give, the sides of the tire good abrasion resistance and environmental resistance.
31
Tyre Manufacturing
Additives used in sidewall compounds include antioxidants and antiozonants. Sidewall extrusions are non-symmetrical and provide a thick rubber area to enable molding of raised letters and sidewall ornamentation.
Beads
Beads are bands of high tensile-strength steel wire encased in a rubber compound. Bead wire is coated with special alloys of bronze or brass. Coatings protect the steel from corrosion. Copper in the alloy and sulfur in the rubber cross-link to produce copper sulfide, which improves bonding of the bead to the rubber. Beads are inflexible and inelastic, and provide the strength to mechanically fit the tire to the wheel. Bead rubber includes additives to maximize strength and toughness.
Apex
The apex is a triangular extruded profile that mates against the bead. The apex provides a cushion between the rigid bead and the flexible inner liner and body ply assembly. Alternatively called "filler" (as in the diagram above).
Belt package
Belts are calendered sheets consisting of a layer of rubber, a layer of closely-spaced steel cords, and a second layer of rubber. The steel cords oriented radially in radial tire construction, and at opposing angles in bias tire construction. Belts give the tire strength and dent resistance, while remaining flexible. Passenger tires are usually made with two or three belts.
Tread
The tread is a thick extruded profile that surrounds the tire carcass. Tread compounds include additives to impart wear resistance and traction in addition to environmental resistance. Tread compound development is an exercise in compromise, as hard compounds have long wear characteristics but
Dept. of Automobile Engg. 32 SSM Polytechnic College, Tirur
Tyre Manufacturing
poor traction; whereas soft compounds have good traction but poor wear characteristics.
Cushion gum
Many higher-performing tires include an extruded component between the belt package and the tread to isolate the tread from mechanical wear from the steel belts.
Other components
Tire construction methods vary somewhat in the number and type of components, as well as the compound formulations for each component, according to the tire use and price point. Tire makers continuously innovate new materials and construction methods in order to achieve higher performance at a lower cost.
33
Tyre Manufacturing
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Tire plants are traditionally divided into five departments that perform special operations. These usually act as independent factories within a factory. Large tire makers may set up independent factories on a single site, or cluster the factories locally across a region.
Mixing is the process of applying mechanical working to the ingredients in order to blend them into a homogeneous substance. Internal Mixers are often equipped with two counter-rotating rotors in a large housing that shear the rubber charge along with the additives. The mixing is done in three or four stages to incorporate the ingredients in a logical order. The shearing action generates considerable heat, so both rotors and housing are water cooled to maintain a temperature low enough to assure that vulcanization does not begin.
After mixing the rubber charge is dropped into a chute and fed by an extruding screw into a roller die. Or the batch can be dropped onto an open rubber mill batchoff system. A mill consists of twin counter-rotating rolls, one serrated, that provide additional mechanical working to the rubber, and produce a thick rubber sheet. The sheet is pulled off the rollers in the form of a strip. The strip is cooled, dusted with talc, and laid down into a pallet bin.
34
Tyre Manufacturing
The ideal compound at this point would have a highly uniform material dispersion, however in practice there is considerable non-uniformity to the dispersion. This is due to several causes, including hot and cold spots in the mixer housing and rotors, excessive rotor clearance, rotor wear, and poorlycirculating flow paths. As a result, there, can be a little more carbon black here, and a little less there; along with few clumps of carbon black elsewhere, that are not well mixed with the rubber or the additives.
Mixers are often controlled according to the power integration method, where the current flow to the mixer motor is measured, and the mixing terminated upon reaching a specified total amount of mix energy imparted to the batch.
Component preparation
Components fall into three classes based on manufacturing process calendering, extrusion, and bead building.
The extruder machine consists of a screw and barrel, screw drive, heaters, and a die. The extruder applies two conditions to the compound, heat and pressure. The extruder screw also provides for additional mixing of the compound through the shearing action of the screw. The compound is pushed through a die, after which the extruded profile is vulcanized in a continuous oven, cooled to terminate the vulcanization process, and either rolled up on a spool or cut to length.
Tire treads are often extruded with four components in a quadraplex extruder, one with four screws processing four different compounds, usually a base compound, core compound, tread compound, and wing compound. Extrusion is also used for sidewall profiles and inner liners. The calender is a set of multiple large-diameter rolls that squeeze rubber compound into a thin sheet, usually on the order of 2 meters wide.
Dept. of Automobile Engg. 35 SSM Polytechnic College, Tirur
Tyre Manufacturing
Fabric calenders produce an upper and lower rubber sheet with a layer of fabric in between. Steel calenders do so with steel cords. Calenders are used to produce body plies and belts. A creel room is a facility that houses hundreds of fabric or wire spools that are fed into the calender. Calenders utilize downstream equipment for shearing and splicing calendered components.
Tire building
Tire building is the process of assembling all the components onto a tire building drum. Tire Building Machines (TBM) can be manually operated or fully automatic. Typical TBM operations include the first stage operation, where inner liner, body plies, and sidewalls are wrapped around the drum, the beads are placed, and the assembly turned-up over the bead. In the second stage operation the belt package and tread are applied and the green tire is inflated and shaped.
All components require splicing. Inner liner and body plies are spliced with a square-ended overlap. Tread and sidewall are joined with a skived splice, where the joining ends are bevel-cut. Belts are spliced end-to-end with no overlap. Splices that are too heavy or non-symmetrical will generate defects in force variation, balance, or bulge parameters. Splices that are too light or open can lead to visual defects and in some cases tire failure. The final product of the TBM process is called a green tire, where green refers to the uncured state.
Pirelli Tire developed a special process called MIRS that uses robots to position and rotate the building drums under stations that apply the various components, usually via extrusion and strip winding methods. This permits the equipment to build different tire sizes in consecutive operations without the need to change tooling or setups. This process is well suited to small volume production with frequent size changes.
36
Tyre Manufacturing
The largest tire makers have internally developed automated tire assembly machines in an effort to create competitive advantages in tire construction precision, high production yield, and reduced labor. Nevertheless there is a large base of machine builders that produce tire building machines.
Curing
Curing is the process of applying pressure to the green tire in a mold in order to give it its final shape, and applying heat energy to stimulate the chemical reaction between the rubber and other materials. In this process the green tire is automatically transferred onto the lower mold bead seat, a rubber bladder is inserted into the green tire, and the mold closes while the bladder inflates. As the mold closes and is locked the bladder pressure increases so as to make the green tire flow into the mold, taking on the tread pattern and sidewall lettering engraved into the mold. The bladder is filled with a N recirculating heat transfer medium, such as steam, hot water, or inert gas. Temperatures are in the area of 350 degrees
Fahrenheit with pressures around 350 PSI. Passenger tires cure in approximately 15 minutes. At the end of cure the pressure is bled down, the mold opened, and the tire stripped out of the mold. The tire may be placed on a PCI, or post-cure inflator, that will hold the tire fully inflated while it cools. There are two generic curing press types, mechanical and hydraulic. Mechanical presses hold the mold closed via toggle linkages, while hydraulic presses use hydraulic oil as the prime mover for machine motion, and locks the mold with a breech-lock mechanism. Hydraulic presses have emerged as the most cost effective because the press structure does not have to withstand the mold opening pressure and can therefore be relatively light-weight. There are two generic mold types, two piece molds and segmental molds.
Large off-road tires are often cured in ovens with cure times approaching 24 hours.

Final finish
After the tire has been cured, there are several additional operations. Tire Uniformity measurement is a test where the tire is automatically mounted on wheel halves, inflated, run against a simulated road surface, and measured for force variation. Tire balance measurement is a test where the tire is automatically placed on wheel halves, rotated at a high speed and measured for imbalance.
Large commercial truck/bus tires, as well as some passenger and light truck tires, are inspected by X-ray machines that can penetrate the rubber to analyze the steel cord structure.
In the final step, tires are inspected by human eyes for numerous visual defects such as incomplete mold fill, exposed cords, blisters, blemishes, and others.
