The two-roll plasticizer (TRP)
by Peter J. Uth, Julia Uth and Manuel Beßler, Uth GmbH.
TRP Reworker process technology combines proven methods in rubber processing, such as cracking, homogenizing and discharging, closing a gap in the processing of rework materials.
The TRP Reworker is a resource saving technology for the economical processing of rework materials based on the two-roll plasticizer (TRP) with integrated Roll-ex gear pump. In an automatic process, unvulcanized rubber compounds are processed particularly gently and continuously in order to return this rework material to the production process. In tire production, compound waste is unavoidable due to the process. This material should be reworked with regard to the issues of sustainability and the economical handling of valuable resources, and not least because of the high raw material costs.
