Coextrusion apparatus for forming tubular elastomeric ply made up of first, second and third concentric streams of elastomeric material and a pair of coaxial helical patterns of individual reinforcing elements wound in opposite direction with respect to each other contained within the first and third streams of elastomeric material and separated by the second stream of elastomeric material. A pair of reinforcing element guides are rotatably mounted within the apparatus between stationary flow channels for the three streams of elastomeric material, and are rotated in opposite directions with respect to each other. The two helical patterns of reinforcing elements and three streams of elastomeric material merge together substantially simultaneously in concentric circles which lie in a plane generally perpendicular to a central axis of the coextrusion apparatus to form the tubular ply. A method for producing such a reinforced tubular elastomeric ply also is presented.
