Bandag Retreads
40 years ago, Bandag revolutionized the tire retreading industry by introducing a cold "precured" process designed to produce durable retreads from used truck tire casings.
Today, Bandag is a global company, with 25 production facilities on 5 continents. Anyone who knows about retreads will recommend Bandag as the number one choice in the industry.
At Terry-Haggerty Tire Company, we use Bandag's patented precured process and retread products to recycle tire casings into high quality replacement tires. Below is a guide to that process.
The Bandag Process ...
Initial Inspection - First, your casings are thoroughly inspected. Our inspectors look for every cut, bruise, and puncture, as well as other damage to the tire body. Repairs are made using strong, flexible Bandag repair materials.
Buffing - Buffing removes the old, worn tread design. The Bandag buffer works like a lathe as the tire is buffed, truing your inflated casing with utmost precision. That produces a smoother running tire that will please your drivers and reduce vehicle maintenance.
The Bandag Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI®) - Ultrasonic inspection for damage hidden from visual inspection is performed, using the NDI Tire Casing Analyzer.
Repairs - Bandag repair materials are designed specifically for today's new generation tires. All repair procedures are an integral part of the total Bandag process. Nail hole injuries, crown injuries, and sidewall injuries can be repaired routinely.
Building - Cushion gum (the adhesive layer) is applied to the back of the exclusive Bandag tread. Tread rubber and cushion are applied to the casing while the tire is inflated to its normal running configuration. Cushion gum bonds the tough Bandag tread rubber to your casing. This bond becomes one of the strongest parts of the tire. It's what makes our Bandag retreads dependable.
Curing - The Bandag system bonds new tread rubber to your casing using a low curing temperature. Your tire is encased in a flexible rubber envelope and placed in a pressure chamber to prevent distortion. No excessive heat or rigid metal molds are used on the casings, thereby avoiding the stress buildup associated with other retreading processes.
Final Inspection - Every Bandag retread we produce is thoroughly inspected before it leaves our shop. We have an extraordinary record of success.
