1 Scope
This document applies to tyre curing machines having the following configuration:
— crossing flow tyre curing machines, with one cavity with manual or automatic feeding and discharge;
— crossing flow tyre curing machines, with two cavities, with manual or automatic feeding and
discharge and with:
— common curing cycle and common safeguarding; or
— independent curing cycles and common safeguarding; or
— independent curing cycles and independent safeguarding;
— tyre curing machines with automatic rear feeding and discharge.
The safety requirements and/or protective measures specified in this document apply to tyre curing
machines used to cure bicycle, motorcycle, passenger vehicle and truck tyres or other tyres that can be
cured according to the requirements of this document.
This document deals with the following ancillary equipment that are an integral part in a tyre curing
machine:
— loading/unloading device;
— take-away conveyor;
— Post Cure Inflator (PCI) integrated in the rear side of a crossing flow machines for passenger vehicle
tyres;
— spraying jib.
This document does not deal with:
— feeding system and discharge system;
— tyre curing machines with manual loading of the green tyre into the mould and manual unloading of
the cured tyre from the mould;
— ancillary equipment which is not an integral part of the tyre curing machine, e.g. conveying
equipment;
— exhaust systems.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to tyre curing
machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably
foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A).
It does not deal with hazards associated with falling of parts of the container or mould because they are
not part of the machinery.
This document is not applicable to tyre curing machines which are manufactured before the date of its
publication as an EN.
