Güdel Introduces New Green Tire Trays

Fast, efficient handling of sticky, green tires.

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. Güdel introduces its new Green Tire Trays which are designed to eliminate damage during conveyor offload, and yet they allow tires to travel the conveyor at higher speeds compared to other trays. These trays can be installed directly into existing conveyor systems, and they work with all types of systems from roller to wide-belt or narrow-belt.


Remarkably rigid and light, Güdel Green Tire Trays have a load capacity of up to 30 kg with an external diameter of up to 900 mm. Integrated stiffening ribs keep distortion to an absolute minimum, and these injection-molded trays have no impurities. (Even the slightest impurity on conventional conveyor systems can have a negative impact on the quality of tires.)

The tray is tilted at 45° which provides optimum storage with no loss of quality. Tires can be deposited very precisely thanks to positioning accuracy of 1 mm. The trays can be fitted with RFID chips, which enable individual analysis and facilitate data tracking.

In order to make them more noticeable when used in visual identification systems, Güdel's Green Tire Trays are available in any color and empty trays are easily stackable.

Güdel debuts the new Green Tire Trays at Tire Technology Expo, February 10-12, 2015, Cologne, Germany, Hall 11.1, booth 3170.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
