Abstract
A green tire is partially vulcanized as primary vulcanization by a tire vulcanizer. Then the primnarily vulcanized tire is entirely vulcanized as secondary vulcanization by a post-cure inflator. This enables to shorten the cycle time for tire vulcanization by simultaneously applying vulcanization by the tire vulcanizer and the post-cure inflator in parallel to improve the productivity.
