Post cure inflator and vulcanized tire cooling method

摘要

A post cure inflator (101) for expansion-cooling a vulcanized tire (1) is provided with a vulcanized-tire holding mechanism (2,3) for holding the vulcanized tire and a rotating mechanism (10) for rotating the vulcanized tire at a high speed via the vulcanized-tire holding mechanism such that a forced convection becomes more dominant than a natural convection in an air flow around the vulcanized tire.
