Abstract
A tire vulcanizing system comprising (a) a tire vulcanizing press having a plurality of molding stations (b) a tire loader for loading tires onto the molding stations and (c) a tire unloader for unloading tires off of the molding stations, wherein the tire vulcanizing press comprises a fixed frame upon which the fixed molds of each molding station are mounted, a displaceable frame upon which the displaceable molds of each molding station are mounted, a tie-rod arranged between the molding stations and connecting the fixed frame to the displaceable frame, lifting cylinder for vertically displacing the displaceable frame along the tie-rod with respect to the fixed frame, half blocks for securing when necessary the displaceable frame to the tie-rod, thereby securing the displaceable frame to the fixed frame, and clamping means for forcibly clamping said displaceable molds to said fixed molds during tire vulcanization.
