A PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A SEMIFINISHED PRODUCT FOR MANUFACTURING TYRES FOR VEHICLE WHEELS

摘要

A continuous elongated element (10) coming from an extruder (11) or a supply reel (1.3) is wound into coils.(S) disposed consecutively close to each other on a cylindrical forming support (15). A pusher element (27) urges each coil (S) formed on the forming support (15) against the previously formed coils (S), causing translation of same to a cutter (34). Following cutting of the coils (S) a continuous semifinished product (9) is obtained which has elongated reinforcing elements disposed parallel and close to each other and transversely of the longitudinal extension of the semifinished product itself.
