A hybrid liner () and system for using a hybrid liner includes a first portion () being made of one material and a second portion () being made of a separate material. The two materials have a different propensity for sticking to the unvulcanized rubber component () as well as a different cost. The invention concerns using the less sticky, more expensive liner in the areas of the liner roll where sticking is more likely to occur and using the less expensive material where liner to rubber adhesion is less of a problem.

Hybrid liners having reduced adhesion to an unvulcanized rubber material

A strip of sheet material is wound on a spool by a driving belt wrapped around spaced rollers of a surface winder which urge the sheet material into contact with the spool, rotating the spool, and at the same time, applying the sheet material to the spool, with layers of the material being separated by a liner wrapped around the spool as the sheet material is being applied.
