Auto & Truck Tyres (A&TT), one of the leading South African suppliers of new and retreaded tyres, has worked with the
This large A&TT retreading plant produces close to 1,000 retreaded truck tyres a day, using precured material supplied by Leader Rubber Company S.A and Ringtread rings, and now aims to exploit the latest Italian-made Marangoni/TRM technology to achieve very high quality and efficiency standards.
The latest generation machinery installed includes the Giotto 3000 buffing machine, Black Swan 3000 cushion gum applicator and Constrictor 3000 building machines.
The 3000 line, part of Marangoni’s tried-and-tested machinery range, is designed for plants with high daily output, guaranteeing up to around 120 tyres per shift.
The Giotto 3000 is an ultra-automatic buffing machine with very high production capacity, ensuring exceptional precision and quality of the buffed profiles.
The Black Swan 3000, on the other hand, is a fully automatic machine that both applies the cushion gum and retreads the tyre or reinforces sidewalls, all without using adhesive solutions and thus avoiding solvent emissions in the atmosphere.
Finally, with the addition of the Constrictor 3000 building machines, A&TT will be able to count on ultra-automatic machines that ensure very high production capacity, managing strip application with constant tension and thus ensuring perfect balance and perfectly regular tread wear.
The Wadeville plant upgrade is the result of a new partnership between Marangoni Group and Leader Rubber, the foremost South African company in the retreading materials sector, aimed at supporting the Italian Group’s development in the promising African markets.
