An apparatus for building a tire having an inner liner to which a sealant strip is to be laminated, comprises a rotary drum having a surface in which a trough or "groove" is provided. The depth of the groove corresponds approximately to the thickness of a layer of an elastomeric sealant which is to be placed in the groove. If the walls of the groove are contoured so as to confine the sealant layer...

A hydrocyclone (10) establishes a first vortex (15) of fluent material at one end (e.g. in a top portion 4), and a second vortex at the other end (e.g. in a bottom portion 24). The first vortex is established within a porous surface of revolution (18) to which gas or other fluid is supplied, passing through the porous surface into the first vortex. The second vortex is established by a conical end...
