Production of rubber mixtures in a rubber mixture production line incorporating one or more twin-screw mixing and extrusion machines

A production line (200) for performing multi-pass mixing sequences of rubber mixtures has at least one first mixing line (200A) that produces a masterbatch and at least one second line (200B) that performs a final mixing process during a final pass of a multi-pass rubber mixing sequence. A mixing process produces a variety of rubber mixtures in a production line of the type disclosed.
