The recipe for a tire contains many vital ingredients, including natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, and oil. These must be expertly weighed out and perfectly dosed to eventually form the products we see on the roads. Blending these ingredients according to specific recipes at a temperature of 120° C is a crucial aspect of the manufacturing process, where the precise weighing and dosing of chemicals makes all the difference.

This is where Color Service steps in with its fully automated dosing system for small chemical weighing. The system features a highly efficient and mechanized method of dosing the required raw materials into EVA or PE bags, which are heat-sealed and delivered to the client mixer automatically. The equipment sits in the middle of the production line and automates the entire dosing process, with loading of raw materials being the only manual task. It can manage the raw materials at 360° C, effectively reduce the overall production process time, lower the number of workers required, and eliminate the safety risk of operators working in terms of human expositions to dangerous raw materials.

“Our system is a high-quality, efficient solution for our customers, with which we guarantee a greatly streamlined production process worldwide with 24/7 service assistance,” says Alberto Pellichero, Area Sales Manager at Color Service.

Color Service’s automated dosing systems come equipped with an anti-dust device preventing dust from seeping into the composites. A certified weighing system ensures the most accurate calculations while dosing chemicals, and a modular design allows for future modifications.

It tracks the status of each recipe while it is being prepared, and every bag is labelled with a thermos transfer printed label that provides traceability to whole cycle and process.

To ensure there are no mechanical flaws or malfunctions, strict quality assurance is maintained during the system’s manufacturing. All components are run through electrical and PLC tests to check for proper functioning before they are dispatched to the client. System accuracy is verified at their facility by testing cycle time and Cpks using their products to ensure proper implementation.

Customized software programs are developed internally at Color Service to supplement their products and integrate with a client’s existing systems. It assimilates data from their recipe management system, dosing system, and mixer to create a perfect collaboration between the three processes and ensures seamless production line functioning.

Color Service further assists clients with 24/7 customer support. Operating from technological centres in America, Europe, and Asia, it offers remote help desk assistance by directly interfacing with the system to fix any issue at their factory. If remote assistance is not getting the job done, it guarantees a service executive will be present at the site within 24 hours to directly handle the issue.

Due to its decades-long experience, Color Service has mastered the art of staying ahead of the curve with innovation at its heart. Its ideology is to improve production efficiency through innovation, and the driving force for its R&D division is derived from the ideas, wants, and needs of its customers. The trademark anti-dust technology, unique dosing mechanisms, precise bag sizing, and automatic dosed bags delivery to mixers are examples of the novel ideas Color Service has developed over the years to cater to specific client needs.

Color Service’s methodology of keeping customers in mind when crafting highly efficient and innovative solutions gives it an exceptional edge in the market and enables it to be a world leader in tire and rubber production.
