One of the first machines made by VMI, our 240 series of tire building machines is a legacy that has evolved into outstanding and reliable machinery, known and appreciated around the world. Combine this with VMI mechanical building and shaping drums – and you’ve got a winning combination that has set industry standards for decades, and remains a first-rate choice. The 240 series can handle tires rim diameters of 12-20” with minimal operator involvement. A typical cycle time on with a regular tire is 53 seconds. For daily production of up to 1200 tires.
