The Bandag Process
Bandag offers more than 275 treads designs and sizes--far more than any supplier.
This variety allows your Bandag Dealer to retread most any type of casing you use.
Your Bandag Dealer has the right tread for your application, whether you're on a logging run to Seattle, hauling steel over the Rockies or on a linehaul to Chicago.
Many of our tread designs feature MilEdges®. MilEdges® are the result of the Micro-Sipe® process where thin sipes are cut across the tread surface. Trucks using Micro-Sipe® tread can significantly increase their traction performance.
Bandag produces treads to meet the requirements of each geographic region where we operate. Select a region to learn more about the tread products that are available there.
Initial
Inspection
First, your casings are thoroughly
inspected to ensure they meet our high retreading
standards. Our inspectors look for every
cut, bruise, and puncture, as well as other
damage to the tire body. Repairs are made
using strong, flexible Bandag repair materials.

Casing
Analyzer
A
pre-buff inspection that reduces costs as
non-retreadable casing are removed sooner.
Provides a bead to bead scan with unmatched
accuracy. |
 |
Buffing
Buffing
removes the old, worn tread design. The Bandag
buffer works like a lathe as the tire is
buffed, truing your inflated casing with
utmost precision. That means a smoother running
retread to satisfy your drivers and reduce
vehicle maintenance.

The
Bandag Non-Destructive Inspection ( NDI & REG;)
Ultrasonic
inspection for damage hidden from visual
inspection is performed, using the NDI Tire
Casing Analyzer.

Repairs
Bandag
repair materials are designed specifically
for today's new generation tires. All repair
procedures are an integral part of the total
Bandag process. Nail hole injuries, crown
injuries, and sidewall injuries can be repaired
routinely. You save more valuable casings.
|
 |
Building
Bandag precured tread is applied
to the casing with precision tread guides. |
 |
Curing
Bandag
bonds new tread rubber to your casing using
a low curing temperature. Your tire is encased
in a flexible rubber envelope and placed
in a pressure chamber to prevent distortion.
No excessive heat or rigid metal molds means
your casings avoid the stress associated
with other retreading processes.
|
 |
Final
Inspection
Every
Bandag retread we produce is thoroughly inspected
before it leaves our shop. The last place
we want to discover a tire problem is after
the tire is back in service. We're sure you
would agree.
