Abstract
A laterally independently operated column-equipped vulcanizer comprises two (right and left) die opening and closing devices (A,B) disposed to be operable independently of each other, the die opening and closing devices having upper die mounting members () corresponding to lower die mounting members () installed on a base plate (), the upper die mounting members being supported in an ascendable and descendable manner on right and left paired columns () erected on the base plate. The right and left paired columns throughout the two die opening and closing devices are arranged in V-configuration as viewed in plan. Loaders () capable of carrying green tires GT into the die opening and closing devices are disposed on the side of the columns narrowly spaced from each other in the lateral direction among the columns arranged in V-configuration. Unloaders () capable of carrying vulcanized tires T out of the die opening and closing devices are disposed on the side of the columns widely spaced from each other in the lateral direction among the columns arranged in V-configuration. Thus, the entire vulcanizer can be rendered even more compact.
