Usage Competence references ESCO source

adjust vulcanizing machine

Adjust the heating of the vulcanising machine according to the specified temperature, ensuring the placing of the tire in the tire mould is safe.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

adjust bag inside tyres

Adjust the pressure of the air bag inside the tyres.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

apply rubber patches

Apply the already shaped rubber patches onto the broken part of the tire by using a handroller and the correct rubber cement.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

balance tyres

Measure the static and dynamic balance of tyres using sensors, bubble balancers and spin balancers, and adjust by fitting weights on the wheel to correct any unbalance and avoid vibrations, noise and ocillations.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

clamp tyre into mould

Clamp the tyre already placed in the mould, making sure the tyre remains clamped until the end of the vulcanization process.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

clean tyres

Usage Competence references ESCO source

coat inside of tyres

Coat the broken tyres on the inside by using rubber cement.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

ensure equipment availability

Usage Competence references ESCO source

inspect worn tyres

Evaluate the worn tyres and check at possible damages (cuts, cracks, etc) in order to determine possible retread.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

prepare tyres for vulcanization

Prepare tyres for vulcanization by building semi-raw rubber treads onto the already buffed tyre casings.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

rebuff tyre

Use abrasive tools to grind the old tyre and to remove the worn tread, brush or spray a rubber solution to join the new and the old material, and fix the new tread or piece of tread.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

wear appropriate protective gear

Wear relevant and necessary protective gear, such as protective goggles or other eye protection, hard hats, safety gloves.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

cold vulcanisation

Technique used to repair defective tyres, especially bicycle tyres, and consisting in grinding the area around the tear, applying a vulcanising solution and fixing a patch to seal the tear.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

hot vulcanisation

Technique used to repair tyres presenting minor tear such as nail perforation which consists in injecting a rubber solution in the tear to fill it and in subjecting the tyre to a heat treatment to enable the fusion of the new and the old rubber material.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

mechanics

Theoretical and practical applications of the science studying the action of displacements and forces on physical bodies to the development of machinery and mechanical devices.
