Bridgestone Intros FuelTech Drive Retread
Bridgestone Americas, Inc. has announced the newest addition to its existing Bandag MaxTread line, the FuelTech Drive retread for the drive wheel position. The MaxTread FuelTech Drive is a SmartWay-verified, closed- shoulder retread engineered for fleets operating in over-the-road hauling services. Utilising a special tread compound to lower rolling resistance and deliver excellent mileage performance, this retread is also California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant.
“The new MaxTread FuelTech Drive retread is a fuel-efficient tyre solution that maximises mileage and performance,” said Keith Iwinski, director of marketing, Bandag, U.S. and Canada, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “Ideal for fleets operating in truckload and less-than-truckload applications, this drive tyre position retread delivers reliable and sustainable tyre performance positively impacting a fleet’s bottom line.”
The MaxTread FueTech Drive tyre is engineered to reduce energy loss, lowering rolling resistance for optimum fuel efficiency. The tyre is designed for long, even tread wear with advanced technology that controls the movement of the tyre’s ribs and tread blocks during rotation. The MaxTread FuelTech Drive tyre also provides multiple gripping edges and a siped tread design to provide trusted traction on wet and dry surfaces. All Bandag MaxTread tyres are locally retreaded and are backed by a lifetime limited warranty featuring 100% coverage for the life of the tread.
B&J Rocket has announced that it is expanding its range of buffing tools with a new line that now features rounded buffing surfaces compared to B&J Rocket Unit Wheels with straight buffing surfaces.
"The new ERGO-Line shows all its advantages when used with a hand grinder," says Sales Manager Fredy Walther. "Thanks to the rounded grinding surface, the hand grinder can be held much more ergonomically and is therefore easier on the wrist when
working on the inner liner."
In addition, the ERGO-Line is more flexible in handling since the rounded surface on the inner liner can be worked on more efficiently with the rounded buffing surface. This makes the buffed surface even, and buffing grooves are avoided.
The cooling of the tools has also been improved: a large number of cooling holes not only increases the performance of the buffing tools due to reduced buffing temperatures, but also
