A method for continuously vulcanizing a self-molding hose by external heating including the steps of first forming continuous strip of self-molding material which includes a heat-shrinkable woven fabric, a first vulcanized elastomer topping layer provided on a top surface of the heat-shrinkable woven fabric, a second vulcanized elastomer topping layer provided on an undersurface of the fabric with the second vulcanized elastomer topping layer being thinner than the first vulcanized elastomer topping layer and an unvulcanized elastomer topping layer provided on the undersurface of the second vulcanized elastomer topping layer. Then the continuous strip is overlappingly wound on a former to create a circular hose and the circular hose is continuously introduced into a gap between rotary drums of vulcanization apparatus at the same rate as the rate of the circular hose formation so that the circular hose is pressed flat, heated and vulcanized and converted into a flat hose.

A method for continuously vulcanizing a self-molding hose by external heating comprising the steps of: forming a continuous strip of self-molding material, said continuous strip of self-molding material being made by the steps of: providing a first unvulcanized elastomer topping layer on a top surface of a heat shrinkable woven fabric; providing a second unvulcanized elastomer topping layer on an under surface of said heat shrinkable woven fabric, said second unvulcanized elastomer topping layer being thinner than said first unvulcanized elastomer topping layer and vulcanizing said first and second unvulcanized elastomer topping layers to form first and second vulcanized elastomer topping layers; and providing an unvulcanized elastomer topping layer on the underside of said second vulcanized elastomer topping layer; wrapping said continuous strip of self-molding material on a former with a portion of said first vulcanized elastomer topping layer overlapping a top surface of said unvulcanized elastomer topping layer of a previous winding of said strip of self-molding material to form a circular hose; and continuously introducing said circular hose into a gap between rotary drums of a vulcanization apparatus comprising a combination of heating drums rotated at the same rate as the rate of said circular hose formation so that said hose is pressed flat, heated, vulcanized and converted into a flat hose.
