During 2024, Cima announced the launch of its upgraded Ecoline press range, which is segmented into three distinct offerings, each designed to enhance energy efficiency significantly within the retreading process. The first feature of the new press is its insulated cavity, ECOSHIELD, which directs all generated heat towards the tyre, maximising efficiency. The second feature is a shift from steam to induction heating, which offers the efficacy of an electrically heated press with half the power consumption. The third key feature is a separate nitrogen module HOT N2, which is tailored to benefit both the retread tyre industry and new tyre manufacturing.
