Abstract

A direct control strategy for the process of mixing components for producing rubber for profiles of automotive industry is not suitable, since the goal is to build a product with specified parameters which are not directly measurable. The measuring process is carried out offline in a laboratory and downwards the process. Also in these cases an open control strategy must be adopted. In this work, the authors develop a model to online predict the cure characteristics of the blends according to their compound formulation and mixing conditions. If properly integrated into the manufacturing system, cure characteristics models can provide useful information to process the blends according to their specific characteristics.
