Retreading

 

Retread Products

 

Our retreading process is made up of many steps.  First, a tire is checked for injuries.  If the tire requires repairs, they are made.  If the tire cannot be repaired then it is unusable.

 

Next, the tire is placed in a buffer which completely removes all of its previous tread so that a new tread can be added.  The machine uses precision optics and cutting tools to ensure a clean exact finish which will make for a better, safer final product.

After the tire has been buffed a layer of pre-vulcanized rubber is added as an adhesive to the buffed area.  When the tire is heated this rubber will meld the casing and the tread, creating one solid unit.

The tire is then placed in a builder which automatically and evenly adds the tread to the tire casing, ensuring a perfect fit every time.  The Marangoni builder adds a complete tread in the shape of a ring to the casing, making the new tread as solid a fit on the tire as possible.

 

  Once the new tread has been added to the casing it needs to be placed in a chamber where it is 'cooked' to ensure that the two bond to each other.
