How Tyre Industry Can Boost Productivity with IDEX CognitoTM EODD

The tyre industry is a significant part of the manufacturing sector, contributing to around 3% of the manufacturing GDP of India. The demand for tyres is primarily driven by the replacement market, which contributes approximately 70% of total revenues.

However, the tyre industry faces several challenges that necessitate an upgrade in pumping solutions. Let’s understand these challenges in a detailed manner and also take a closer look at how a smart, sustainable, and dependable pumping solution like IDEX Cognito^TM can help in overcoming them:

·       Increasing Demand: The Indian tyre industry is projected to more than double its revenue by fiscal 2032. This growth is driven by higher demand for vehicles and continuous government investments in infrastructure. An efficient pumping solution can help meet this increasing demand by improving production efficiency.

·       Quality and Consistency: Tyres are manufactured from a complex assembly of more than 250 raw materials. Maintaining consistent quality across such a diverse range of materials requires precise control over the manufacturing process, which can be achieved with advanced pumping solutions.

·       Adoption of New Technologies: The tyre industry is adopting emerging technologies and Industry 4.0 concepts such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve efficiencies. Upgraded pumping solutions can integrate with these technologies to further enhance productivity. Here, the IoT-enabled IDEX Cognito^TM becomes even more suitable for the task.

·       Environmental Concerns: The tyre manufacturing process involves the use of process oils, carbon black, pigments, antioxidants, accelerators, and other additives. An efficient pumping solution can help reduce waste and emissions, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Incorporating a solution like the IDEX Cognito^TM EODD pump can address these challenges and boost productivity in the tyre industry. The Cognito^TM EODD pump, with its advanced features, can provide the precision and efficiency needed in the tyre manufacturing process.

How Does the Cognito^TM EODD Pump Boosts Overall Productivity of the Tyre Industry?

The Cognito^TM EODD Pump, developed by IDEX, is a state-of-the-art solution designed to boost the overall productivity of the tyre industry. Here's how:

·       Handling Impurities: The tyre manufacturing process involves the transfer of fluid from the pit to the delivery tank, used for treating rubber sheets. This fluid often carries rubber impurities that can lead to suction choking and dry running of the pump, damaging the diaphragm and resulting in significant maintenance and repair costs. The Cognito^TM EODD Pump is designed to handle these impurities effectively, reducing production line damage.

·       Alarm System: The Cognito^TM EODD Pump incorporates an alarm system to flag suction strainer choking and stop the pump before any damage occurs. This feature prevents the pump from running in dry conditions and rupturing the diaphragm, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

·       Handling Viscous and Abrasive Fluids: The Cognito^TM EODD Pump is engineered to handle a variety of viscous and abrasive fluids across multiple industries. This makes it particularly suitable for the tyre industry, which involves managing various viscous and abrasive fluids.

·       IoT-Enabled: The Cognito^TM EODD Pump is IoT-enabled, allowing it to integrate with other technologies and Industry 4.0 concepts. This integration can help the tyre industry achieve precision and finesse with ease while minimising associated risks.

·       Robust Design and Superior Performance: The Cognito^TM EODD Pump is built smart to handle tough fluids effortlessly. Its robust design and superior performance make it an ideal choice for the tyre industry, which requires reliable and efficient pumping solutions.

By addressing these challenges, the Cognito^TM EODD Pump can streamline operations and significantly boost the overall productivity of the tyre industry.
