What this floor loses today

The losses every rubber plant knows, and nobody measures.

Mix cycle

Batch cycle variance

Two operators, same compound, 90 seconds apart per batch. Mixing-cycle variance is capacity, measured batch by batch.

Cure loss

The press utilisation myth

Curing presses look busy while daylights sit empty. Cavity-level utilisation exposes the real number.

Energy

kWh per kg of compound

Mixing is energy-brutal. Energy per batch and per kg, trended by compound and shift.

Your numbers

What would mixing every batch at your best cycle be worth?

Your best cycle is already proven on your own mixer. The gap is capacity.

Cycle variance comes from operator practice, compound temperature and feeding delays. Batch-level data separates them.

Questions

Straight answers.

How does MachineWise help a rubber plant?
It logs every mixing batch and curing cycle, shows cycle variance by compound and operator, measures curing-press utilisation per cavity, tracks energy per kg, and predicts failures on mixers, mills and presses.
Can it measure curing press utilisation properly?
Yes. Utilisation is counted per cavity and daylight, not just press on/off, so presses that look busy but run part-empty are visible.
Does it track energy per kg of compound?
Yes. Energy per batch and per kg is trended by compound and shift from the plant's energy meters.
Can it predict mixer failures?
Mixer gearboxes and bearings get vibration and load monitoring, with the typical 48–96 hour warning before functional failure.
