Spanish term

departament de tubadoras

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing tires
I'm afraid there's no context for this one in terms of the sentence. It's just the name of a department in a tire factory.

Any thoughts? I haven't been able to find anything helpful...

Many thanks in advance!

extrusion department

I started preparing this answer hours ago before I saw Jane's reference but didn't have time to finish it. The fact that we both came to the same conclusion reinforces my suggestion.

Here's an explanation in Spanish:

3 - Proceso de extrusión
"El rodamiento y la goma de los costados (dos compuestos de goma distintos) se moldean en sus formas específicas mediante tubadoras. Las tubadoras producen una banda continua de goma que después se enfría y corta a las longitudes especificadas."
http://html.rincondelvago.com/neumaticos_2.html

It says here "tubadora o extrusor":

"1.3.5 Extrusión
El siguiente proceso que tiene lugar es el de extrusión, que consiste en
el paso de los productos a través de la tubadora o extrusor. "
https://www.iit.comillas.edu/pfc/resumenes/4a431da9c09e7.pdf

So I think "extrusion" is probably what it means.

"The softened rubber from the feed mill or homogenizing mill goes into the
extruder. The two major tire parts that are formed by extrusion are the sidewall and the tread. These parts are constructed by forming two specific compounds into tread profiles by feeding the rubber through an extruder. Other parts include the apex. Extruders produce continuous lengths of treads, which are cooled and cut into specific lengths."

agree Charles Davis : Example here: http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNAAS554.pdf , though I've also found tubing department, containing extruders and mills, in US tire factory: see here, esp. p. 51: http://op.bna.com.s3.amazonaws.com/env.nsf/r?Open=jstn-8s6ma...

Thanks, Jane! I'm hardly a tyre expert, but I found convincing references. I saw your reference after preparing my answer, so waited a few hours before posting, just in case!

(inner) tube department

I think the "tubos" must refer to inner tubes.
Inner tube (noun) = A separate inflatable tube inside a pneumatic tyre.
Many vehicles nowadays may have tubeless tyres/tires, but the name of the department could remain the same.
Example sentence:

A few white women worked in the inner-tube department, as inspectors and packers

working for one year in the inner tube department of a tire factory was ..

Possibly extrusion/extruder department but as this is not one of my areas of expertise, I will leave it to those with more experience.
