Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de formage sous vide et un procédé d'utilisation dudit appareil dans le formage d'un pneumatique de transport à partir d'un élastomère, lequel appareil comprend un moule présentant une cavité ou une zone annulaire, une âme de plis, ceintures et talons de pneumatique de transport étant disposée sur un mandrin situé à l'intérieur du moule. Ce moule reçoit un couvercle ajusté de manière étanche sur la partie supérieure du moule et un récipient métallique cylindrique est inséré à travers le centre du couvercle et le centre du moule, ouvert à une extrémité supérieure pour recevoir une coulée d'un mélange élastomère et pourvu, à son extrémité inférieure, d'une soupape à pointeau qui s'ouvre dans une extrémité de la zone annulaire du moule. Le récipient métallique cylindrique présente un orifice de raccordement à une source à vide fort et le couvercle présente un orifice de raccordement à une source à vide faible, le vide fort servant à éliminer l'air du mélange élastomère à mesure qu'il est versé dans le récipient métallique. Après le remplissage, l'orifice est ouvert à l'atmosphère et la soupape à pointeau est ouverte afin de libérer le mélange dans la chambre annulaire du moule dans laquelle ce mélange est aspiré par le vide faible à travers l'orifice du couvercle, afin de remplir la cavité annulaire du moule et d'imprégner complètement le noyau maintenu à l'intérieur.
