Zusammenfassung:The method of building and transferring a tread belt structure on a portable and collapsible building drum (10) mounted coaxially on a building machine (100) with a rotatable shaft (120) is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming the annular tread belt (4) on the building drum (10), transferring the building drum (10) with the tread belt (4) from the rotatable shaft (120) onto a pivoting transfer device (200), pivoting the transfer device (200) about 90 DEG rendering the tread belt (4) and axis of the building drum (10) perpendicular to a horizontal plane, collapsing the building drum (10), separating the annular tread belt (4) from the building drum (10), removing the tread belt (4), expanding the tire building drum (10), pivoting the building drum (10) into coaxial alignment with the rotatable shaft (120), moving the building drum (10) onto the shaft (120). The tread belt (4) has one or more elastomeric components applied while hot and the equipment provides means for weighing the tread belt (4).
