Nizhnekamskshina adds silica tread technology
Nottingham, UK -- Chronos Richardson has won an order worth around Euro 3 million to set up silica-based tyre compounding systems for the Nizhnekamskshina tyre plant in Tartarstan, Russia.
The company, a unit of Premier Tech, will provide carbon black and silica intake, transfer and weighing; polymer weighing and feeding; oils weighing and dosing; dust collection and material re-feed; two semi-automatic small chemical weighing systems with supervisory control. The first equipment will be delivered in March 2006.
Nizhnekamskshina recently signed a new technical agreement to produce standard and high performance silica blend tyres to international tyre quality standards, according to Chronos Richardson.
