Kraiburg Austria Presents Revised Pattern Programme
L-Ray Shearography
Clear, user-friendly and practical – these were the criteria applied by retreading specialist, Kraiburg Austria, when it prepared its new, improved Pattern Programme for 2011/2012. The current programme shows the availability of the individual product lines, K_base, K_plus or K_tech, at a glance. A colour coding system also allows direct and rapid identification of the patterns – even if they are available in two different lines. As always, blue has been used for the all-round line K_base. Green indicates the tech¬nology line K_tech. And yellow is the colour of choice for the high-performance premium line K_plus. A new feature to the right of the pattern identifier is the addition of self-explanatory symbols providing information about the different axle positions and recommended uses. Another feature designed to assist the user is the application information system which has been introduced alongside the list of tread
patterns.
Towards the back of the list Kraiburg's retreading partners can also find information about the extensive Kraiburg product range in EM retreads and about K_side technology. This sidewall remoulding can be customised and enhances the appearance of precure retreads to such a significant extent that they look similar to new tyres. “Our new list of tread patterns is a resource which will make life easier for the retreading partners and enable them to work even more efficiently than before”, commented Sales and Marketing Manager Holger Düx. When Kraiburg Austria goes online with its revamped website, the 2011/2012 Pattern Programme will also be available for download there – at www.kraiburg-retreading.com.

Previously known as IHI (International Holographics, Inc) and Grant Engineering. The company operates on the global stage in the tyre manufacturing and retreading markets. The company claims to have sold over 250
holography and shearography machines in some 24 countries. In 2007 L-Ray introduced its new Differometric Technology, which president Lee Petrimoulx says is “much faster and provides high quality digital images for checking tyres or retread casings”.
“Our latest offering is our new Version 3 DVS-1220 Tire Analyzer,” said Petrimoulx. “We completely re-engineered the previous machine to offer a smaller footprint, lighter weight and easier operation and maintenance. Many of our customers simply didn’t have the room in their factories for large machines. We also updated our Windows-based software to be easier to set up and process new tyre sizes. The 1220 is the size of the vacuum chamber in mm (48”). We also have a 1575 mm (60”) design.” The DVS Differomatic Tire Analyzer allows manufacturers and retreaders to perform the necessary checks on passenger, truck and racing tyres weighing up to 260lbs (118kg) and with diameters between 13” and 32”. The base machine includes four cameras displaying four 90 degree images, displaying the crown and much of the sidewall. Bead to bead inspection is also an option.

The excellent results achieved by Marangoni in the field of compounds are also the consequence of
significant investments made by the company into research and development. A highly qualified team combines innovation capacity and technical skills when choosing the materials used.
Thanks to
the careful selection and repair of the casing, and to
the compounds and tread patterns used, the performance of Marangoni retreads is equivalent to
new tyres of premium brands.
Testing durability and resistance to heating directly on the working surface verifies how well
the compound withstands different
conditions, from use less hard till
extremely hard conditions.
