RUD-Erlau to Show Tyre Protection Technology at Bauma

RUD-Erlau, purportedly the inventor of the tyre protection chains (TPC), is to show it most advanced technology at this year’s Bauma show in Munich (19 – 25 April 2010, C2 Booth 311/406). According to the company, RUD-Erlau’s TPCs are more than doubling the kilometres-life of costly OTR/earthmover tyres and aiding mobile plant safety in mines, quarries, steel foundries, demolition, scrap handling and glass recycling. Furthermore, the cost-benefits of RUD-Erlau TPCs are said to include: up to 7 times increased tyre life, assured plant availability and significant savings per tonne.

Along with the S75 Plus, which reportedly sees the company retain its crown as the worlds largest TPC, RUD-Erlau has recently brought significant improvements and savings to underground mining with the TORO X19 chain series. Designed for low-profile loaders, the TORO X19 combines all-important sidewall protection with a 30 per cent improvement in abrasion resistance and a commensurately longer service life. High in the Chilean Andes, RUD-Erlau’s TERRAPLUS traction chain has been adopted as the main means of keeping 400 tonne, copper-carrying Komatsu´s on-track over icy haul-roads.
