Vulcanising machine for bonding side strips to tyre side walls - adaptable for a range of tyre diameters

In a tyre side strip machine with a support component incorporating in known manner an annular heating device on which is mounted an annular mould component in which a tyre side wall and a side strip can be turned towards each other and brought into mutual contact, as well as having a device for locating supporting and clamping the tyre in order to vulcanise the side strip onto the tyre side wall, the annular mould component is mounted releasably so that it can be replaced by a similar component or different size, to simplify the vulcanising of tyres of different size.
