Fully Automatic Bead Apex Machine Project
Watch Pinshun's bead apex equipment in operation. The machine prepares bead-apex assemblies for tire building; the archived project record is linked below.
Machine footage
Pinshun supplied these two videos of bead apex equipment in operation. They show the machine and its handling mechanisms; the footage does not establish the customer, installation site or measured output of the archived project below.

The original Pinshun case page identifies the project as a fully automatic apex applying machine and publishes equipment photos. It does not identify the customer, installation location, commissioning date or measured production results. The date shown on that archive page is its publication date, not a verified installation date.
How this machine type works
According to Pinshun's original machine description, a triangular rubber apex profile passes from the extruder through a take-away conveyor, free-shrink roller table, cooling drum and accumulator before it is applied to a steel bead core. Individual bead cores are fed and clamped automatically; finished bead-apex assemblies are placed in a storage station by an automatic take-off unit. Operators still replenish material, load the bead supply stations and move finished racks.
Published model specifications
These are specifications for the machine model, drawn from Pinshun's technical agreement. They are not measurements reported for this particular customer project.
| Standard bead diameter range | 12"-20" (large model: 16"-24") |
|---|---|
| Apex height range | 15-60 mm |
| Cycle time at 16-inch bead and 35 mm apex | 8 s per bead |
| Two-hour output at the same size | 750 beads |
See the full automatic bead apex machine page for the complete specification table and comparison with the semi-automatic model.
