Static var generator and harmonic filter ensuring reliable operation of mixers, extruders, and curing presses in tire production lines
The tire industry produces billions of tires each year for vehicles, aircraft, and industrial machinery, making it a vital part of global manufacturing. Tire production involves energy-intensive machinery such as mixers, extruders, curing presses, and inspection systems, all of which place strict demands on power quality. These tire manufacturing machines generate significant harmonic distortion and maintain low power factor, which pollutes the grid and causes operational instability or even equipment failure. Addressing reactive power and harmonic issues is therefore essential for achieving reliable production and long-term sustainability in tire manufacturing.
