Automated Ingredient Dosing for Tire Manufacturing | Accurate, Scalable, ATEX-Ready Solutions

Tire production requires extraordinary consistency. The performance of every tire—whether for passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, or specialty off-road applications—depends on the exact ratios of fillers, elastomers, oils, curatives, and performance additives. Even slight dosing inaccuracies can affect rolling resistance, tread wear, or wet grip.

Dositech provides precision dosing solutions that ensure consistent compound quality across large-scale, high-throughput tire operations. Whether you’re producing base compounds, sidewall formulations, or specialty layers, we automate ingredient delivery with traceability, temperature control, and safety built in. All systems are designed to meet the demanding throughput, cleanliness, and compliance requirements of modern tire plants.

Tire manufacturers using Dositech systems report reduced rework from dosing variance, faster formulation changeovers, and measurable improvements in compound consistency across mixing lines. Integrated logging also supports audit readiness and downstream quality traceability.

Tailored for the Tire Industry’s Complex Needs

Bulk Dosing of Carbon Black & Silica

ICON systems feature robust pneumatic transfer and vacuum loading modules with integrated filtration, dust suppression, and enclosed weighing hoppers. Ideal for managing dense or airborne fillers in high-capacity mixer loading.

Accurate Minor Ingredient Management

Calibro delivers ultra-precise dosing of curatives such as sulfur and MBTS, as well as accelerators and anti-ozonants. The system supports recipe locking and changeover logging—essential for high-variety formulations and safety audits.

Integrated Oil & Plasticizer Dosing

Gravitas manages aromatic and paraffinic oils with viscosity compensation, closed-loop metering, and real-time temperature regulation to ensure fluid consistency regardless of ambient conditions.

Fast Changeovers Between Formulas

All systems include automated CIP readiness, recipe memory, and batch identification to reduce downtime and manual recalibration.

Traceable Formulation Execution

Each batch is logged with real-time ingredient weights, batch IDs, operator credentials, and date stamps—meeting the traceability needs of ISO and OEM audits.
