When you put the OTR Tyres to serious use in the mines, the Managers are always checking how “hot” the tyres are. Heat dissipation is one of the major tyre failure causes!!Typically, as the OTR tyres get hot it affects the tread and thereby affects the life of the tyre. Measuring Temperature. In ultra large

A tire, is perhaps the most abused component in a mine, not just in terms of usage but also in the real sense!! Any failure whether human or technical, is directly blamed on the tire. Typically, manufacturers of OTR Tires have had to wait for feedback from customers, manufacturers field tests, opinions and data from

At Keepmining, we feel the frontiers of material engineering will be pushed to address many of the operational issues with OTR tyres. The OTR tyres are used in an environment typically ‘hostile’ to the tyre. These tyres are required to handle damage from cutting, chipping breaking up or cracking when used on rough rock surfaces.
