TREADS AHEADTHE PROCESS

 

 

After offloading the tyres, a thorough inspection and detailed marking of any defects takes place. Electronic measuring devices - for accurate measuring of the tyre width - determine the amount of new rubber to be used and into which mould the tyre is to be placed for the manufacturing process.

 

Workers feed the raw rubber in the earthmover / tractor building machine, using precisely enough material to eliminate the waste of new rubber.

 

The pealing process removes all excess rubber from the tyre casing. During this process, the operator can determine how much rubber should be removed. The round cutting blade is very sharp and of a very hard material. At this point, a very high level of concentration is required, for any lack of judgement can render the casing unusable.

 

For the rebuilding of earthmover tyres, the raw materials are made for the specific tyre and then fed into an extruder which remixes the raw rubber and extrudes it as a ribbon. The extruded rubber runs along a line of rollers, dropping the temperature of the rubber, which ends at the stripwinder's building head.

 

The stripwinder's building head applies the rubber onto the buffed casing under very high pressure, until the exact amount of rubber needed for the retreading process is in place.

 

The most modern, fully automatic equipment is used in the hot reproducing of earthmover / tractor tyres.
