Our photo this week shows tire grinding equipment restoring a damaged tire.

Tire grinding is a service offered by FEECO to restore tires and other load-bearing surfaces of a rotary drum. Through normal wear over time and, most commonly, because of misalignment issues, tire surfaces become damaged. This damage can show itself in a number of ways, including: rolled over edges, ridges, washboarding, timing marks, as well as through auditory signals such as chattering. If restoration is not performed on the tire surface, other drum components may be negatively impacted, ultimately leading to larger problems, and even premature equipment failure.

Tire grinding is an effective alternative to tire replacement. FEECO’s skilled service technicians can travel directly to your facility and grind down tire surfaces, restoring them to like-new condition. This process ultimately ensures even weight distribution and a more efficiently running rotary drum.
