Inspection

We thoroughly inspect your casings to ensure they meet our high retreading standards. Our inspectors look for every cut, bruise and puncture as well as other damage to the tyre body.

Buffing


Buffing removes the old, worn tread design. The Bandag buffer works like a lathe as the tyre is buffed, truing your inflated casing with utmost precision.

NDI


The Bandag NDI* is an ultrasonic casing analyser that inspects the tyre for damage that is hidden from normal visual inspection. This non destructive inspection helps detect hidden defects, resulting in a more reliable and safer retreaded tyre.

*Not all Bandag dealers have NDI equipment

Repair


Bandag repair materials are designed specifically for today's new generation tyres. All repair procedures are an integral part of the total Bandag process.

Building


Cushion gum is applied to the back of the tread. Tread rubber and cushion gum are applied to the casing while the tyre is inflated to its normal running configuration. This bond becomes one of the strongest parts of the tyre.
            
curing
            

Curing


Bandag bonds new tread rubber to your casing using a low curing temperature. No excessive heat or rigid metal moulds 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 tyre problem is after the tyre is back in service.
