Steps of Purcell® MRT Retreading Process

At Purcell Tire, We use the Purcell® MRT Process in our Retreading Plants.

Initial Inspection

Every casing, every detail, inspected every time – Enables trained operators to detect subtle irregularities that may indicate internal damage such as zippers.

Buffing

Computer automated, guided by casing-specific database and sensors – Provides under tread of optimal profile, depth, and texture.

Casing Integrity Analysis (CIA)

SHEAROGRAPHY – Two-step laser photography performed on every tire -Reveals belt separations or blisters within the belts or other areas that may not be visible.

X-Ray

Available and used when needed – Allows visual inspection of the steel belts within the casing

Repair

Best practice repairs – Thermal curing along with mechanical pressure exceeds industry standards.

Tread Building

Uses PURCELL® tire tread – Combines two operations into one: applying hot cushion gum and pre-molded tread.

Double-Enveloping

Unique use of inner envelope applies pressure to both sides of the repair – Ensures every surface of the retread undergoes uniform pressure and temperature.

Curing

Computer controlled for minimum temperature variations – Achieves optimal uniformity and enhances full integration of all repairs.

Final Inspection

Assurance of the best retread every time – Thorough inspection of crown, sidewall, bead and interior – we make sure your retread is for the road.

Advantages of State-of-the-Art Equipment

Purcell knows that preparing a casing for retreading is an exact science. The visual inspection of a used truck tire is not enough to make sure all the flaws and nail holes have been detected.

Safety is a BIG Benefit When Retreading Tires – Extending Tire Casings Life

Retread tires have proper structural integrity if casings are properly maintained. The “essence” of the tire doesn’t experience the same level of wear the tread does. When new tread is molded over a used tire casing with structural integrity you essentially get a new tire.

We perform critical pressure testing on each and every casing to verify radial sidewall strength. Different inflation pressures are used during the inspection stages. Inspecting a casing under pressure helps to identify tread and casing separations, missed repairs, other tire deformities and off-center treads.

Exact Manufacturing Standards

All tire casings have to meet exacting standards of proper structural integrity before they can be retreaded. If casings are properly maintained the “essence” of the tire doesn’t experience the level of wear that tread does, so it is perfectly safe when new tread is molded over used tire casings. Retread tires undergo innovative manufacturing processes with state of the art tools and technology to continuously improve quality and cost efficiencies.
