Abstract
A post cure inflator for expansion-cooling a vulcanized tire is provided with a vulcanized-tire holding mechanism for holding the vulcanized tire and a rotating mechanism for rotating the vulcanized tire at a high speed via the vulcanized-tire holding mechanism such that a forced convection becomes more dominant than a natural convection in an air flow around the vulcanized tire.
