An autoclave for retreading and/or repairing pneumatic tires by vulcanization, including a cylindrical container with an opening located at one end provided with a closure element, and a plurality of individual units carrying tires for vulcanization, to each unit there being connected a compressed air source and a vacuum-generating air evacuation source by a series of respective pipes extending between cover portions enclosing each tire and the compressed air and vacuum-generating evacuation sources. The tire-carrying units are movable between a position external to and a position within the container along a runway suspended from the container roof. The pipes being flexible hoses and are connectable to a fixed first connector-half positioned in proximity to a closed end wall of the container, using a movable second connector-half positioned at one of their ends when all the tire-carrying units have been completely inserted into the container.
