What role does steam boiler play in tire manufacturing?

The primary use of steam boiler in tire manufacturing is the vulcanizing process — the curing of the rubber needs steam to provide heat energy. Curing is a process in which chemical or physical action takes place for harder, tougher and more stable linkage.

As we know tires are the most important part of our vehicle because in all the parts of vehicle tires only remain in contact with the earth hence tires carry all the load of vehicle and passengers.

Vulcanization is a process in which natural rubber is heated with sulfur for providing durability and required mechanical properties. This material obtained by vulcanization is less sticky.

In steam vulcanization, direct contact type of heating occurs, steam comes in direct contact of rubber. Hence the steam is used for vulcanization need to be treated if it is used in the cycle because due to direct contact steam gets impure.
