METHOD FOR APPLYING A SELF-SEALING PUNCTURE PROTECTION LAYER ON THE INTERNAL SIDE OF A PNEUMATIC VEHICLE TYRE

摘要

The method involves placing a finished vulcanized tire (1) into a cleaning device, and positioning a laser optic (8) with a holding device (13) in the cleaning device, where the laser beam (14) of the laser optic is aligned to the tire inner side (2). The laser beam is activated, where the laser beam directed to the tire inner side partially penetrates the lubricant residues (3) and detaches the adhering lubricant residues from the surface of the tire inner side by the energy irradiation and a thermal heating of the surface. The powdered lubricant residues are suctioned off by a suction device (10). A self-sealing puncture protection layer is applied to the cleaned tire inner side of the vehicle pneumatic tire.
