Michelin Retread

SAFETY FOR YOUR FLEET

MADE TO THE HIGHEST OF STANDARDS

ENVIRONMENTALY FRIENDLY

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY REDUCED DOWNTIME

DELIVER SIMILAR PERFORMANCE TO THAT OF A NEW MICHELIN TYRE

Different Life Stages of Michelin Truck Tyres

At the end of its first life, a Michelin tyre can be regrooved, then retread, then retread again, increasing your mileage by more than 300% ! Among the worldwide manufacturers, Michelin is the most heavily involved in retreading, and our R&D efforts are focused on developing the best casing designed for undergoing retreading.

multi life 1
The most reliable casing on the market

MICHELIN's high-tech design incorporates a robust casing which
permits safe regrooving and retreading.

+25% Kilometres

Regrooving restores your tyre's grip so you can
keep driving in total safety.

multi life 2
multi life 3
+ 90% Kilometres

Thanks to MICHELIN retreading, enjoy all the benefits of
new tyres with a complete range including fuel saving and
Michelin Durable Technologies offers.

+ 90% Kilometres

You can rely on a second retread to lower your operation cost
even more thanks to MICHELIN casing engineered for life.

Why Recamic

Economical

•   Perform similar to new Michelin tyres, even on Drive Axle.
•   Low per cost kilometer(CPK)
•   Multi position tread design means less inventory
•   Lower fuel consumption for better savings

Reliable

•   High quality retreading standards and consistent performance
•   Michelin certified shops and retreading process
•   High quality treads in Michelin factory only for use on Michelin casing.

Environment friendly

•   Saves raw material and reduce tyres at disposal
•   Due to low Recamic tread wear and less rubber, carbon emission is less( up to 25%)

What Makes Recamic Different

Tread

•   Specially formulated by Michelin recamic tread are available only at Michelin certified retread shops.
•   Only Michelin casing will receive recamic tread
•   Tread patterns are similar to Michelin tyres

Process

•   Consistent high quality machines in all Michelin certified shops, specially designed to meet rigorous Michelin standard
•   Initial Inspection- 100% thorough inspection on automated inspection machine with integrated lighting system
•   Buffing- Automated radius buffer with electronic measuring sensor.
•   Skiving and repair- Enhanced specifications developed with Michelin's 50 years™ experience of radial casing retreading
•   Filling- Done with automatic extruder gun
•   Tread preparation and building- tread pattern continuity, with prefect centering and balance
•   Enveloping- Pneumatically operated spreader for perfect uniformity
•   Vacuuming- Assuring excellence adherence during processing
•   Curing- Fully automatic electric curing chamber with automatic differential pressure control
•   Final inspection- 100% thorough inspection on automated inspection machine with integrated lighting system

Training and Quality control

•   Operators trained and certified to meet Michelin standards and specifications

•   Rigorous operator training and certifications to meet Michelin high quality standards

Casing Strength

Tubeless & Tube-Type
Bead protection plies

Improved resistance to damage in bead area due to high temperature coming from brakes or due to aggression occurring during fitment and removal or because of poor wheel conditions.

Benefits
•   Less Premature removal due to bead damages

Casing Ply with humidity proof cable

Better steel cable bonding with rubber, providing less casing oxidation, better casing endurance and durability

Benefits
•   Reduce air humidity effects and cable oxidation
•   Reduce risk of cable friction
•   Increased casing endurance

Airtight Inner Liner

Stops air from inside the inflated tyres from reaching the
casing ply cables.

Benefits
•    Casing oxidation protection.
•    Pressure maintenance
•    Increased casing endurance

Working plies with high tensile cable

Allows an optimized tyres architecture providing higher crown ply resistance against shock and higher endurance in extreme dynamic or severe scrubbing conditions.

Benefits
•   Higher crown resistance and greater protection against road hazards.

Protection ply designed with new elastic cable

Increased working ply protection against tread aggression leads to significant reduction on crown oxidation.

Benefits
•    Less damage from road aggression and crown oxidation, Increased tyres and casing life potential.
