Abstract
A tire vulcanizer is provided with a vulcanizing station where tire vulcanizing molds are arranged to perform vulcanization. The tire vulcanizer also includes a mold opening/closing station where, after the tire vulcanizing mold is opened, a vulcanized tire is taken out from the inside of the tire vulcanizing mold, and then an unvulcanized tire to be succeedingly vulcanized is inserted into the inside of the tire vulcanizing mold so as to be shaped before the tire vulcanizing mold is closed. Also, a mold carrier truck is provided which is movable between the vulcanizing mold and the mold opening/closing station. An unvulcanized tire storage section is disposed above each of the tire vulcanizing molds in the vulcanizing station.
