Yiyang to supply 12 internal mixers to Chinese tire maker

Yiyang, China – ChemChina-owned Yiyang Rubber & Plastics Machinery has signed an order for 12 internal mixers with an unnamed, major tire company in China.

The equipment will be used to upgrade a new tire production line for the Shandong province-based customer, ChemChina said in a statement in September.

Marking Yiyan’s “largest single” order for internal mixers, the equipment includes GN-300 and GK-400N mixers. The units are said to offer high output and low energy-consumption.

The optimised mixers have 5% higher production efficiency compared to their predecessors, said the statement.

Yiyang, it added, has improved its design and technology under the guidance of KraussMaffei. Experts from the, now ChemChina-owned, German company are working at the plant.

The Chinese machinery company said it also expects the Shandong customer to invest in multiple GE 320E/GE590T tandem-mixer production lines at the plant.
