Retread Process

• Staging: Tires are sorted by customer, size, and tread design and entered into the BASys system for tracking and tire history.
• Inspection: We inspect each tire using a 7-step visual process and electronic scanning (NDTIIB). Repair needs are marked and checked against each customer’s repair specifications.
• Shearography: Non-destructive inspection using vacuum, lasers, and cameras. Using the latest in computer technology, our technicians scan the tire from bead to bead and check for trapped air with any problem areas displayed on the computer monitor.
• Buffing: A lathe style buffer trues the casing, as tread is removed to provide a precise and consistent amount of undertread. We then texturize the undertread to maximize adhesion and cushion.
• Skiving: Injured rubber or frayed and damaged steel is removed.
• Repairing: Using the industry’s best repair system, our trained technicians repair the crown, sidewall, liner and bead as needed. Repairs are covered under retread warranty.
• Cushioning: To create a bonding layer between the newly buffed service and the new tread, uncured cushion gum is applied manually or using an extruder, filling skives or repairs as well.
• Building: According to each customer’s specific needs, a new tread is uniformly applied to the bonding layer to ensure maximum performance.
• Enveloping: To allow curing to occur in a relaxed state, the retread is placed in a flexible rubber envelope and sealed at the beads (ARC/curing rim).
• Curing: Using pressure, temperature, and time, the tread is bonded to casing. Differential pressure cure (DPC) applies even pressure to voids for an even cure.
• Final Inspection: Tires are inspected to ensure proper application of Bandag process and all customer requirements have been met. Tires are entered into BASys system and painted.
