Abstract: A system and a method are provided for producing rubber mixtures. The system includes installations for performing a monopassage process and a multipassage process to produce a rubber mixture, and a transport system that transports the rubber mixture to one or more of the installations according to a selected recipe. The installations include a mixing and cooling installation that performs a mixing and cooling procedure in which the rubber mixture is formed into a sheet, the sheet is sprayed with water using at least one nozzle provided with water at a predetermined water flow rate and air at a predetermined air pressure, and evaporated water from the spraying of the sheet is evacuated at a predetermined air flow rate. The mixing and cooling procedure causes the rubber mixture of the sheet to reach target temperature and water-content values before a complementary mixing procedure is performed.

Abstract: Tire comprising a crown surmounted by a tread, a crown reinforcement, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement passing into the two sidewalls and anchored by means for anchoring in the two beads, said anchoring means comprising, in at least one bead, a circumferential alignment of at least one anchoring reinforcing member oriented circumferentially and cooperating with a rubber composition referred to as ‘anchoring rubber’; this tire is characterized in that this anchoring reinforcing member is a metal cable having two layers of construction M+N comprising an inner layer C1 of M wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, this layer C1 itself being surrounded by an outer layer C2 of N wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2, this anchoring cable furthermore having the following characteristics (d1, d2, p1 and p2 in mm): 2?M?4 M+3?N?M+7 0.25<d1<0.40; 0.25<d2<0.40; 3.5<p1<7<p2<14.

Abstract: Metal cable having two layers of construction 4+N comprising an inner layer C1 of 4 wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, this layer C1 itself being surrounded by an outer layer C2 of N wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2, characterized in that said cable furthermore has the following characteristics (d1, d2, p1 and p2 in mm): 0.25<d1<0.40; 0.25<d2<0.40; 3.5<p1<7<p2<14. Such a cable, of preferred construction 4+9, is in particular usable for reinforcing tires, in particular as an anchoring means for a carcass reinforcement of a tire without a solid bead wire.

Abstract: Tire having a crown, a crown reinforcement, sidewalls and beads, a carcass reinforcement passing into the sidewalls and anchored in the beads. The anchoring is accomplished, in at least one bead, by a circumferential alignment of an anchoring reinforcing member oriented circumferentially and cooperating with a rubber composition. The anchoring reinforcing member is a metal cable having a construction M+N with an inner layer C1 of M wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1 , this layer C1 being surrounded by an outer layer C2 of N wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2. This anchoring cable satisfies (d1, d2, p1 and p2 being expressed in mm): 2?M?4, M+3?N ?M+7, 0.25 <d1 <0.40, 0.25 <d2 <0.40, 3.5 <p1 <7<p2<14.
