Amerityre Ships Five New Light-Weight Fill Machines

Amerityre corporation – the Boulder City, Nevada-based research and development company working with proprietary polyurethane technologies – has reported the shipment of five light-weight fill machines for its high-quality polyurethane foam for use in the commercial tyre fill market.

Each fill machine is expected to pump between 100,000 to 200,000 lbs of fill material annually, although the capacity of each machine is more than 500,000 lbs per year. The company expects to place an additional six machines with other potential customers this fall. The fill machines are being sold to new customers in combination with Amerityre’s tyre fill material, which is marketed under the name Amerifill. The material is based on Amerityre’s “flat-free,” closed-cell, environmentally friendly polyurethane foam technology.

Thomas Ryan, president of Flat Free Tires (Canada) provides testimony on the company’s products: “I am very pleased to confirm that we have had tremendous success using Amerityre’s new light-weight tyre fill technology in various applications. With these results in hand, we are now expanding our aggressive marketing campaign to introduce this new environmentally friendly technology to all of Canada.”

Dr. Gary Benninger, Amerityre’s CEO, states that, “Amerifill can be used in many tyre applications including construction, industrial, and mining applications to “flat-proof” and extend the life of rubber tyres. We have evaluated Amerifill in the field and in side-by-side comparison testing conducted by independent test laboratories. These evaluations and tests demonstrate that in many applications both the fill weight and cost can be significantly reduced by switching from the current oil based, environmentally hazardous fill materials to Amerifill.”
