Provided is a stretching device for stretching an apex filler strip prior to application to a bead for a tire. The stretching device includes a stretching roller and a plurality of guide rollers for guiding the apex filler strip in a loop around the stretching roller. The plurality of guide rollers is arranged for receiving the apex filler strip in an entry orientation and for discharging the apex filler strip in an exit orientation. The plurality of guide rollers is arranged for guiding the one side of the apex filler strip in the entry orientation and the exit orientation under angles different from the support angle (H) with respect to rotation axis (R) of the stretching roller such that the apex filler strip is twisted over a twisting angle of at least forty-five degrees.

Method for adjusting the shape of at least one side of the circumference of a strip of flexible material to the shape of a reference side concerned. The method comprises the steps of determining the shape of the at least one side of the strip, comparing the shape as determined of the at least one side with the shape of the reference side, and adjusting the shape as determined of the at least one side to the shape of the reference side, depending on the outcome of the comparison. Belt strip feeding apparatus for feeding a belt strip on a rotating building drum. The feeding apparatus is provided with a supply reel for containing belt material, with means for unwinding belt material from the supply reel, with conveying means for conveying the unwound belt material to the building drum, with cutting means placed above the roller conveyor for cutting the belt material into a belt strip. The feeding apparatus comprises means for adjusting at least one side of the belt strip to a reference side concerned, according to the method.
