Schelkmann

Global Technology Leader in OTR Tyre Retreading

Today, Schelkmann is considered the worldwide technology leader in OTR tire retreading. The patented Schelkmann Precured Retreading System (SPR-System) provides totally integrated solutions to the mining industry with regards to high performance tires for extremely harsh off-road applications.

Schelkmann's innovative retreading technology, unlike other ways of recapping, guarantees similar hours / mileage performance and tire-safety with Schelkmann tires as with new, premium brand tires. TYRE SIZES RANGE FROM 25IN UP TO GIANT 59.80R63 The SPR-System provides high performance OTR tires for all mining and other off-road applications and types of vehicles.

Tire dimensions range from 25in sizes for wheel loaders and articulated and rigid dump trucks, up to giant tires of 40.00R57 for the full range of rock and mining applications. The choice of modern tread pattern designs and premium rubber compounds meets the high expectations of the global mining industry with regards to variety, performance, safety and reliability.

Schelkmann is well known in the industry for its tailor-made solutions to meet the special requirements of different environments and achieve premium results onsite, even in the most difficult applications.

The innovative Schelkmann R&D department works continuously to develop the latest, state-of-the-art technologies to optimize both tire applications and the tire building process. The SPR-System is globally known for its advanced horizontal water curing system at relatively low temperatures, which minimizes the stress on the casing. The curing system, combined with the specially developed OTR bonding gum and made-to-process envelopes, lead to practically no risk of tread separation, significantly reducing the risk of early tire failure. Thus, the mine operator maximizes the utilization of its equipment.
