Mondolfo Ferro at Autopromotec: 46 years in the service of wheels

Mondolfo Ferro says that it was keen to show its commitment to the research of new solutions at Autopromotec 2009. Therefore the show represented the chance to show off its newest wheel servicing products, including the Aquila Raptor and the TBE 160 Matic truck tyre changer.

The company says that the Aquila Raptor is a new tyre changer based on the combination of all types of performance that today’s tyre dealers request from a machine. The mounting and demounting procedures are executed through lever-less technology, consolidating work procedures. It makes it possible to eliminate risks and tiredness for the operator. Among the characteristics emphasised by Mondolfo Ferro are the centralised control console, the double-disc vertical bead breaker unit, which allows the bead breaking operation in the work position, and a safe and rapid wheel blocking pneumatic system.

The TBE 160 Matic was also conceived with lever-less technology, while the company states that the machine can work with wheels with a rim diameter of up to 60”. It has a blocking system for the central hole of up to 110 mm. The main advantages of the TBE 160 Matic, says the firm, consist of the automated demounting tool and bead breaker, which guarantee a considerable reduction of the effort required from the operator. The machine also includes a self-supporting frame that allows greater freedom of movement for the operator by increasing the spaces around the machine.

Besides the after-sale service, the company from the Marche region also offers the possibility to sign up for a long-term contract for preventative maintenance, reducing thus possible vehicle downtime.
