Abstract: A method and the device are used to control valves. The valves are arranged in the region of lines for a fluid. At least one first valve is in the form of a control valve arranged in the region of a primary line. At least one second valve is in the form of a switching valve. At least one branch is arranged downstream of the control valve in the region of a direction of flow. At least two secondary lines extend downstream of the branch. Each secondary line has one of the switching valves. The valves are connected to a control unit which coordinates the function of the valves.

Abstract: A method and a device for vulcanizing tires. The device and method allow a small width and an inexpensive construction of the device in particular by virtue of the special design of or the material flow produced by the device and method. The device has at least one vulcanization chamber and at least one unloader for unloading an at least partially vulcanized tire out of the vulcanization chamber. The device additionally has at least one depositing device, at least one sliding device, and a transport belt for transporting the tire away.

Abstract: A method and the apparatus serve for air extraction in the area of a heating press. Extracted air is fed to at least one exhaust air treatment device. In the area of the device, the extracted air is modified in terms of at least one parameter. It is intended, in particular, to use a tire heating press as the heating press.

Abstract: In a method for edge glueing and in an arrangement including a tensioning aggregate with a device for edge glueing, a glue is applied in a spin spraying process, and the application is performed on the product web which is extended at the edges and smoothed.
