Connection to Gerlach
In the publicly funded "GEO" research project, KTP worked with Gerlach to study flow data and heat transfer in hot-air vulcanization. The results were published in 2016 in the trade article "Holistic Energy Concept for Hot-Air Vulcanization of Rubber Profiles" (GAK) and now feed into VulcaRAMix's process models.
