Retreading with UHP water jet buffing lowers waste and materials costs.
Piave Tyres Presents Alternative Retreading
Retreading has traditionally used a process of buffing down the subject tyre to remove rubber from the casing to allow the replacement of that rubber with either new precured tread or fresh rubber for hot cure retreads.
Piave Tyres is an Italian specialist in earthmover retreading. The company realised that the traditional retreading processes removed a considerable amount of good rubber to prepare the casing for retreading.
Piave also needed to recycle its unserviceable tyres and had partnered with Rubber Jet Valley, an Italian water jetting recycler of truck and earthmover tyres, to dispose of beyond repair casings.
