How old Tyres are Remanufacture in Factory with Hot Retreading Technique || Tires Retreading Process 

This is the Bandag process, developed by the Germans in WWII. It is a cold process, not hot. The tread (not thread) is manufactured separately and placed on the tire while cold. It is already fully formed. A thin layer of uncured rubber between the tread and the carcass is cured at about 202 degrees F, well within the operating range of a truck tire on a hot day. The older hot process wraps the old tire in raw, uncured rubber. Heat is applied, up to 350 deg. F. to make the rubber hard and to form the tread pattern. Unfortunately, this also weakens the old tire. I ran a Bandag shop back in 1969 and 1970.

thank you for endangering the lives of people on the road as well as workers in the factory.

breathing that rubber dust all day must make for a nice coating in the lungs to keep one from getting cancer from smoking. Also, 17:48 is a good example of safety sandals.

During WW2, we used to call this recapping. But we never used a tire where the fabric showed. We also cut grooves in bald tires with no tread pattern showing. We also used blowout patches inside tires with holes in the sidewall. There was a national speed limit of 35mph. (for conservation)

Omg....thought retreads went out with the dinosaurs....this is playing with death

You guys rock! I love seeing worn or old things restored instead of being thrown away. Much work, but that is the way to save our worlds resources . By the way, I'd love to buy one of your T-shirts :-)

when I was a kid we had Pierce Tire in town they did retreads for cars when it was still legal, they sanded down the old tread then wrapped new rubber on it then put it in one of those tire tread-making machines that heated the tire, and new rubber, like when they make new tires, those retreads were cheap to buy, this guy is just sticking premade tread on like a giant sticker, it was so cool as a kid watching them make those tires, could never do something like that now, gosh did I have fun growing up back then wold NOT want to be a kid today no way

That's lot of hard work these guys are doing.Amazing.

Bravi complimenti a tutti grandi lavoratori un saluto da Italia

A good team with an effective distribution of tasks and chain work . Everyone knows their job perfectly and it runs like clockwork . That said , I would like to know what the lifespan of these tires would be compared to others bought new ? This profession , compared to the past, has , it seems , seen improvements since in the old way we were content to reproduce the layout of the tires using an electrically heated stylus . I must have seen this one day while passing in front of a garage which practiced this trade in the Eighties in Casablanca in Morocco. Since then I haven't heard of it until today with this video ! So it only remains for me to wish a long and happy life to the whole team and good luck to all !

Beautiful. Nothing gets wasted. It saves our resources and helps our environment. Excellently done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice job fantastic method of repairing secondhand Tier very good skill worker thank you very much God’s bless 👍👍🌷

Было подобное в советское время, когда был дефицит с колёсами. Сам ездил на таких покрышках с наварки в 80х годах. Если промаргаешь гвоздь в колесе, поездишь на приспущеном,покрышку сразу на выброс - банально разваливается. Если следить за давлением и не гонять - не любят скорость, то нормально. Ресурс конечно в разы меньше, но ездить то надо. Сейчас бы ни зачто не поставил.

Not that many years ago most towns had at least one tire "recapper". Then the Bureaucrats, and so called "Environmentalists" decided to get involved. At the time, "recaps" were generally warranted like a new tire, yet were usually much less in price. Now in return we get imported tires with all the attendant transportation costs and increased pollution!

Parabéns para toda equipe que trabalha harmonicamente e com alegria no coração...

Good job, looks like good tires 🖐️👍

Interesting process. Good video 👍

What professional workers, well done, very interesting😊

The tire has worn to and through one of tread belts (the white fibers). They further cut through that belt with the hand tools. The tire could be severely compromised in strength with one tread belt cut apart.

Very interesting, lots of steps.

свою трудовую деятельность начинал на Угловском шиноремонтном заводе в 1964 году. начинал с складского рабочего ( грузчика ). все процессы упрощены до примитива, много пропущено. старые баллоны даже не моют. хуже я ничего не видел. такую резину я бы не ставил.

Boa noite a todos minha opinião,o trabalho que vcs fazem é com serteza uma obra de arte meus parabéns a todos participantes desta obra 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Maan, that's a lot of hard work to re-cap tires!

Hand crafted re-capped tyres. No PPE, little automation, no insurance. Yet these men do it.

Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!

Great video ! 👍

I remember retreads. For $10.00 you could replace a flat tire. They eventually would peel off again and the roads were littered with them

So many ignorant comments about retreads ….

That is one dangerous retreaded tyre will all the broken fibers.

Дай бог тебе здоровья тебе работник 👍👍👍...

good job

Top recycling, wehn its going wrong in the world these people are able to survive great, respect for theire inventivety

Премиум кволити епт..Султан интерпрайзес лимитед!

Pakistans rival to Goodyear, Goodmonth Factory walk through showing the Process of manufacturing tyres for the Asain market

in my country, retreaded tyres can only be used on lorries with with 4 tyres on 1 axle. and the retreaded tyres must from companies that are certified to do so. if the shell of the tyre are damaged, those tyres will not be retread. only good shell tyres will be use. 1 misconception on retreaded tyres is that it is easy to peel off. those tyres will not peel off if the user didn't carry exceeded limit of weight. usually it is what the weight of of the lorry are permitted to carry. if weight is more than what the lorries are permitted to carry, there will be more pressure on the tyres and it will generate more heat. then the retreaded tyres wil peel off. dont forget that, even a new tyre will also chipped, peel off or damaged if it is overweight. the user tends to carry more weight to make more profit. but this act will make it dangerous to the driver and other road users. PLEASE FOLOW THE RULES. RULES ARE NOT CREATED JUST FOR FUN.

nao sou fã de pneu recapado mas nem todos podem pagar por novos q sao mais caros. ja tinha visto isso e nao deixa de ser interessante

Watching this process and thinking we had a factory in Bishop Auckland that did this and the doors where always open and you could see the machines and the dust flying out the doors , Bandag was the company till it closed its production for over seas ... what a shock when I saw that old decal on the heat / pressure chamber do you think there the old machines still in use from 30 years ago when it closed ... We called them top caps retreads or yorkies as the tread was as soft as chocolate and you would always see strips of tread on motorways

Nice❤

Put 4 retreads on because I did not the money for 4 new ones. Around local with low speeds everything went great, had to make a long trip at highway speeds (back then 55 mph), lost two tires going up and with two weeks, lost the other two. Never used a retread again, lost money by saving money. The tires probably would have been OK if I had stayed at low speeds with in town travel. I'm sure process has improved since 1968.

The second time he did an internal inspection he was checking to make sure they had not gone right through the casing. Never never buy one of these of these if you value yours or your family’s lives!!!!!! So dam dangerous

Главное это тапки ☝️,наличие тапок гарантирует качество ☝️

Old tires cannot be reused they expire like food they get all they dry out and they explode you cannot use old tires for anything I know I’ve worked with tires for over 30 years

Нет ни чего лучше чем наблюдать как другие работают😉

I love how they've all got matching work shirts, but they're all wearing flip flops...

How long would a Gen-X or Milenial last in a place like that?

ماشاء اللہ زبردست

Buen trabajo menudo esfuerzo 👍🏼👏🏼

I remember running retread on my 68 pickup and had 3 sets extra for very cheap

Travel down the roads and especially out of town and see all the retreads on the sides of the roads. Dangerous Stuff!

Good Good I like very Good

Muito bom trabalho de vcs parabéns 👏👏👏🤝👍🇧🇷🇨🇮

pakistan hebat segala macam industri rumahan salute bener

I’d like to buy a set of these tires for my ex-wife.

Those are the gators on the side of the highway the truckers call them,absolutely not for highway use.

These tires are likely going on a truck that has 6 or 8 tires or more. If one retread gives out then statistically they can complete the journey on the remaining tires without another failure. And besides it's not like they are going to be going fast.

Parabéns!!! Ótimo trabalho!!!!🇧🇷

the big blue chamber-That's Indian spelling for Band-Aid. LOL

Good job guys keep it up

recaps in the US trucking industry is how the trucking industry keeps moving.

Muito interessante o trabalho, só que falta segurança, ninguém de máscara.

5:15 У мужика борода и усы седые ,а голова чёрная )))

Nothing better than having staples all down the tire sidewall

Great work and as good as any new tyre. Good production process to ensure longevity and quality. This particular company has been in the business for 45 years mainly doing heavy truck tyres.

Excelente trabalho de equipe.

Might be an alternative in other countries where to buy new brand tires is not affordable to many people but in the USA is not too common to buy those kind of tires and i'm very sure that neither is permitted to sale them in many States due to the unsafe riding conditions for the vehicles with that kind of tires on the roads.

Gotta be in India or Pakistan. Even in USA with Bandag's COLD vulcanization process the retreads come off and cause damage to cars and hurt motorcyclists.

reading some of the comments here i really have to agree with Darwin.

Good for school buses

The tires are already dry rot. This is not a safe practice

Wow! So much work for 2 sets of tires. I can't believe they are cheaper than buying new with all the work that is involved.

Do people really risk their lives by putting these things on their vehicles

Well, i sure feel more confident seeing that he did two internal visual inspections. 😜😳😳 🤦‍♂

These guy are performing an invaluable service for our planet more bloody power to them, bravo you guys👍🙏👏👏👏👏👏

Win/win. All of the steps these tires are probably better than the original, plus it is good for the environment.

wow

Quenportante laborrrealisan al rrencauchar llantas llena mucho trabajo personal espertos asen n conosiayo

Половина работы это хождение по цеху

I love the safety. working in sandals. stuff all over the floor.

That's true sustainability , while millions of old tires were exported and burned down in Africa.

Ở VN , thời Bao Cấp Sử Dụng rất nhiều loại vỏ nầy nhưng chỉ dám gắn ở trục sau

Why work with sandals or flipflops. Need to work with mask also, breathing all the dust and rubber particles bad for health

Waaaaaoo keren banget bos ku 👍

This is not hot process, this is precured cold process type of retreading

The USA use to do that and the machinery as well, to labor intensive.

BUT are they SAFE safety first for the workers, wearing sandals.

IHow is this cost effective?

Alvin and the Chipmunks work there?

Speech 350000 $ geniuses

That looks like a lot of work and supplies for $100 tyres.

Grande equipe mas lava as laterais dos pneus nao vai colar

Lots of comments from people who have not got a clue 🤣 Did you know that 65% of all commercial aircraft use Retread's ... 30% use Remoulds and only 5% have brand new tyres on (which soon get changed) Apart from the obvious things like punctures etc , the majority of tyre failures are caused by incorrect tyre pressure. Do you check your tyre pressures daily ? I bet there are not many that do...

I passed some of their work on the side of I-40

the way they made this Tyre in my opinion How long this will last and how strong to carry a load ......?????????????

And some intelligent countries manufacture the retreading machines. So what's your point?

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

In N Calif yrs ago a lot of log trucks used the retreads but yrs later that declined because of rubber coming off and blow-outs. That rubber dust will eventually kill you. it gets into everything including the head hair all over the arms up the nose into the lungs. no kind of protection is provided for these poor hard workers.

Good jobs 👍🏻

. El único error que les veo, es que llegan a gastar hasta los hilos, y sueltan una parte de las lonas de los neumáticos... Eso, es debilitar y eliminar una buena parte de la vida útil de los mismos, y afecta una buena parte de la segiridad... . Por aquí, si se llega a gastar a ese punto un neumático, es automáticamente rechazado, pues ya no ofrece la plena seguridad parecida a uno nuevo... Para recapar, debe contar aún con una capa de goma, y las lonas intactas en su totalidad... .

It's impressive like the other video on truck tire repair. But like the other process it's a *really* bad idea grinding through the fabric of the tire. So dangerous.

Anything with tires is damn hard work 😓
