The Use Of Data Logger In The Rubber And Tire Industry

Why Data Loggers Matter in Rubber & Tire Industry

Data loggers are required for a multitude of reasons, frequently to ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations, and quality and environmental control procedures. They also help to save costs through energy efficiency/environmental management or reducing wastage of non-compliant or damaged goods. With years of excellence in the journey in both service and manufacturing of process measurement, G-Tek has served as the reliable industry in India for Chart Recorders, Data Loggers, Storage Recorders, Scanners etc.

• Curing Process: Defines the strength, durability, and performance of tires. Accurate monitoring of temperature and pressure is essential.
• Rubber Mixing: Additives must be mixed at controlled temperature, pressure, and rotor RPM to achieve desired properties.
• Quality Assurance: Prevents wastage of non-compliant or damaged goods.
• Compliance: Meets industry-specific regulations for process control and environmental monitoring.

The invention of the wheel has marked a very important milestone in the history of mankind. It is considered the only invention that has remained the most important part of our life. With the advent of technology and knowledge, we moved from wooden wheels to rubber wheels, known as tyres. Tyres can be of several types and sizes, but the manufacturing process is the same. In the process of manufacturing a tyre, curing is a very vital process where process control and monitoring play the key role which helps defines a tyre.

Apart from the tyre industry, data loggers are essential for rubber industries. Various additives are generally added to natural rubber to make specific applications. In this mixing process, it is very important to maintain the temperature, pressure and RPM of the rotor. In both the tyre and rubber manufacturing process, G-Tek’s Smart Screen series paperless recorders help monitor various parameters simultaneously. Users can see the trend chart in the format just like circular charts or strip charts. Apart from monitoring the process, the Smart Screen helps in counting the number of tyres.

G-Tek Solutions

• SmartScreen Paperless Recorders:
  • Monitor multiple parameters simultaneously.
  • Display trend charts similar to circular or strip charts.
  • Count the number of tyres produced.
• SmartChart Circular Chart Recorders:
  • Traditional yet reliable monitoring with tamper-proof paper charts.
  • Ideal for environments requiring physical records.
• gtekNet™ Client-Server Software:
  • Captures data in real time on a central server.
  • Accessible via internet or intranet.
  • Generates automated reports and sends alerts via email, SMS, or voice.
  • Allows simultaneous viewing of multiple recorders’ data.

Applications Beyond Rubber & Tire

• Pharma: Sterilization, freeze drying, pasteurization.
• Food & Dairy: Environmental monitoring and heat treatment.
• Industrial: Fermentation, flow monitoring, curing processes.

G-Tek provides gtek Net^TM – A client-server-based software, which allows the data to be captured in real-time on a server and can be viewed over the internet or under the intranet. G-Tek’s SmartScreen series recorders or G-Tek’s Smart-chart series of circular chart recorders help monitor various parameters simultaneously.

GtekNet^TM software provides the following features:

• Users can share data between various departments and analyze it.
• Reports can be automatically generated and sent through email, SMS or voice alerts to the recipients automatically.
• Users can also see multiple recorders’ data simultaneously or individually.
• RPM of the motor is recorded through its process output like 0-1V or 4-20mA.

Besides the tyre and rubber industry, data loggers are also useful in monitoring process parameters in pasteurization, freeze drying, sterilization, environmental parameters monitoring, fermentation processes, flow and heat treatment and various other process parameters in wide-ranging industries.
