RETREADING

In the production of Bandvulc tyres we apply an entirely new rubber compound onto a used tyre casing in a hot vulcanization process, making the retread tyre look and perform just like new. The result is a solid rubber tyre applied to selected high-quality casings that have been thoroughly checked following a standardised and safe protocol.

In the first step of the process of hot retreading, the tread is removed entirely from the casing. Then we reapply the custom rubber compound which is manufactured at our adjacent rubber mixing plant. To waste as little resources as possible we also save the thermal discharge produced during the vulcanization and feed it back into the production process. We have therefore established a closed, clean and energy-efficient production cycle that is sustainable and allows us to create high quality products at lower costs.
