A method for closing a facility (1) for extrusion of a profiled element (2) comprising a roller (3) supported by a bearing (4), a tool module (10) intended to interact with the roller (3) so as to form an air gap (12) for shaping the profiled element (2), and at least a first head module (13) having a first extruder (14) comprises an engagement step (s1), during which the tool module (10) is urged against the first bearing (4) by a preload force (F_Z), in an engagement direction (Z), then a clamping step (s2) during which the tool module (10) is clamped between the first head module (13) and a second head module (23), on either side of the tool module (10), and by subjecting them to a clamping force (F_X), in a coupling direction (X) which is transverse to the engagement direction (Z).

The facility comprises a tire-building station that is configured to form an uncured tire on a core. A curing station is configured to cure the assembly formed by the core and the uncured tire so as to obtain a cured annular tire. An extraction station is configured to separate, after the curing operation, the cured tire from the core. The curing station has a first, heating, thermal source which presses against the exchange face of the core for the curing operation and is then dissociated from the core and remains in the curing station in order to leave the exchange face free again when the core and the cured tire are transferred to the extraction station so that a second, refrigerating, thermal source of the extraction station takes the place of the first thermal source in contact with the exchange face of the core so as to cool the core.

Provided are a method of manufacturing a tire and a system for manufacturing a tire. A plurality of forming drum bodies are allowed to be temporarily placed on a placement device between work stations adjacent to each other, and at least three of the work stations adjacent to each other are provided in the forming step. In accordance with a specification of a green tire, a plurality of the work stations necessary are selected, and a movement path of the forming drum body is determined. A robot arm disposed at a position corresponding to the movement path is used, the placement device disposed at a position corresponding to the movement path is utilized to deliver the forming drum body, thereby the forming drum body is moved along the movement path, and a forming work is performed in each of the selected work stations to form the green tire.

A green tire manufacturing method according to an embodiment includes molding a combined body by attaching a belt band to an outer circumferential surface of a carcass band substantially expanded into a tire shape at a combined body molding position, pressing a surface of the combined body, moving the combined body from the combined body molding position to a sidewall molding position, and molding a sidewall on a side surface of the combined body at the sidewall molding position to form a green tire.
