Mining Tyre Management

An interview with Darren Flint, Vice President Tyre Lifetime Services, Kal Tire Mining Tire Group

Kal Tire is at the cutting edge of helping miners get more out of their large mining tyres worldwide, with initiatives such as Ultra Repair™: identifying  earthmover tyres with large injuries, and then inserting a unique patch to give the  tyre a robustness that restores the tyre’s  original strength, integrity and performance  at a fraction of the cost of new tyres. Being able to send a 63 in dump truck tyre back into production with  maximum performance instead of sending it to a scrap pile saves customers thousands of dollars per tyre. The company is also at the forefront of large tyre retreading and will soon be opening one of the world’s first mining tyre recycling facilities in Chile
