The new curing presses from Cima (www.cimaimpianti.com), headquartered in Pistoia, Italy, are designed to operate in tubeless (or bladderless) mode via air, steam or nitrogen inflation, also offering the advantage of significant reductions in curing time. An RP11 model was recently installed in a factory in Missouri (US) for hot retreading of 35 to 49 inch tyres, and an RP14 model for tyres measuring 57 to 63 inches has been installed in an Australian factory.
