MONAFLEX INTRODUCES NEW SOLUTION
FOR OPTIMAL CROWN REPAIRS IN
AGRICULTURAL TYRES
Traditionally, when performing a vulcan- ised repair in the crown, the outside heat pad sits on the tread, with pressure ex- erted from above. This set up is mirrored inside the tyre to provide simultaneous internal and external heat and pressure and a quick, even cure.
Due to the depth of the tyre lugs, the tread void will need to be evenly packed out to avoid heat pad distortion. This is time consuming and distances external heat from the repair.
Used alongside the Monaflex AGRI Tyre Repair System, the new Monaflex AG Lug Heat Pad replaces the standard ex- ternal heat pad. It has a unique shape and is designed to fit precisely into the tread void. This simple change provides multiple advantages over traditional on the repair, faster installation time, the fact that the heat pads are not dis- torted under pressure and therefore
last longer, and lower prices due to the
The AG series is available in three specif- – tractors, harvesters and implements. The AG series is also suitable for the re- pair of forestry tyres.
PRODUCTS
In response to field observations and customer feedback, Monaflex has intro- duced its new AG Lug series of heat pads, which has been designed to deliver a brand-new solution for agricultural tyre repairs.
According to Monaflex, the new product is needed because most crown injuries in agricultural tyres occur in the tread void area. Lower rubber mass and increased susceptibility to foreign object penetra- tions (I.e., stakes and rock) combine here to produce an area of vulnerability.
TIPLER LAUNCHES NEW TREADS TO MEET MARKET DEMANDS

The new treads are produced with exclusive rubber com- pounds that guarantee excellent mileage and high perfor- mance, already established characteristics of TIPLER pro- ducts. The new products underwent rigorous tests in the laboratories of the company’s industrial park, in São Leopol- equipment for testing elastomers, thereby guaranteeing the quality, profitability and safety standards demanded by the market.
“TIPLER is always researching the market and attentive to the needs of its customers, seeking to bring tyre retread solutions with the best performance to the network and transporters, aligned with the brand’s purposes, transla- ted into saving natural resources and reducing the costs of transport”, emphasised Fábio Becker, product specialist at TIPLER.
