Introduction

From 2023 we have an internship available for a student with a bachelor or master in Mechanical Engineering. In consultation with the department this can be a graduation study. Challenge of this internship is to search for mechanical improvements in the extruder to prevent pulsation or remove existing pulsation in order to have the best quality strip.

Department

The product department R&D Extrusion, Cutters and Flexx is responsible for the development of flexible machines for breaker and body-ply materials for the tire building industry. Using extrusion technology is emerging in this industry. The development of this is an important part of the production process of breakers and body-plies and with the strip wrapping process of car tires.

This department is also responsible for the management and maintenance of the "standard" of our machines in our portfolio. We support other departments such as Sales and Production and we work together with different R&D departments on projects in cross-functional teams. Within R&D Extrusion, Cutters and Flexx we work with 25 professionals. The team consists of Mechanical Engineers, Software Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Process Engineers and a Technical Writer.

VMI R&D offers a enthusiastic and inspiring working environment. VMI will provide the required software and ICT requirements (laptop) to work on the problem. VMI R&D provides multiple extruders which can be used for testing. Together with a software / test engineer, test can be executed.

What are you going to do?

Within VMI rubber strip is being produced by extruding. Rubber is plastified by the screw and shaped using a die. A gearpump is used in order to have enough pressure for this process. A disadvantage is that a gearpump generates pulsation. This pulsation causes variation in the end product. Minimizing the pulsation will result in a more stable strip geometry.

Part of the internship:

  • Make concept proposals (Morphological overview; Kesselring analysis; Reviews etc);
  • Maybe some simple tests are required to verify the concept;
  • Basic Engineering of chosen concept.

What do we offer?

You are given the change to learn within a cosy team for 6 months. Your research will be of added value for the organization. You will receive a compensation for this internship and compensation for travel costs.
