Abstract
In order to improve tire production efficiency, there is provided a conveying apparatus that conveys a tire-accompanied rigid core in a lying-sideways position to a loading position P, a preheating device for preheating at a preheating position P, a vulcanizing device for vulcanizing at a vulcanizing position P, a cooling device for cooling at a cooling position P, and a transferring device. The transferring device has a turning arm capable of turning horizontally around an axis of turning and movable up and down, and transfers the tire-accompanied rigid core from and to the conveying device, the preheating device, the vulcanizing device, and the cooling device at the positions Pto P. The loading position P, the preheating position P, the vulcanizing position Pand the cooling position Pare arranged on the same circumferential line centered on the axis of turning.
