Introduction

Retreading of damaged tyre is done by conventional hot matrix curing in most cases. But recently a new technology has been developed called “Precured Tread Rubber Retreading Process” which is commonly known as “Cold Process Retreading”. In this process, the Precured Tread Rubber already has a tread pattern on it eliminating the need for a tread matrix at vulcanizing stage. Tread Rubber is precured along with other raw materials and manufactured in the factory under controlled conditions and given a well researched pattern ensuring that the transporter gets a reliable perfectly finish product. Retreading Tyre by precured method gives 50% more mileage than the tyre retreaded by conventional process.

Market Potential

The market demand of tyre retreading by cold process is increasing day by day. There is a good scope for setting up units for tyre retreading by cold process using procured tread rubbers.

Basis and Presumptions

This project profile has been prepared based on the following presumptions:

1. Production capacity is calculated on single shift of 8 hours a day for 300 working days in a year at 75% efficiency.

2. Capacity utilization is 60% during first year 80% in second year and full capacity utilization from 3 rd year onwards.

3. The salaries and wages, cost of raw material, utilities, cost of the shed etc. are based on prevailing rates in and around local region hence cost factor is likely to vary with location of the units.

4. Interest on terms loan and working capital has been taken @ 12% on an average. The rate may vary depending upon policy of financial institutions and agencies from time to time.

5. The cost of machinery and equipments refers to particular make and model and prices are approximate to those ruling at the preparation of the same.

6. The project preparation cost, nonrefundable deposits, may be considered under the head of preoperative expenses.

7. The break even point is calculated on full capacity utilization.


8. Power at the rate of Rs. 5.5 /KW is taken.

9. The operation period of this project is estimated to be about 10 years considering technology obsolescence.

Implementation Schedule

Sl.No. Activity Period
1. Site selection preparation of project report and other formalities, application for loan and finance/ disbursement and, DIC registration etc. 6 months
2. Seeking quotation for machines, purchase, installation and power connection, obtaining clearances from Pollution Control Board and other Govt. bodies and agencies. 3 months
3. Procurement of raw material, recruitment of staff and labour and commercial production 3 months
4. Total period required for commencing commercial production. 12 months

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture

The tyre coming from the customers is cleaned dully. Dust and mud are removed. The casing is inspected for cuts, ply section, condition of beads etc., and based on the condition of the casing, the tyre is selected or rejected. Under inflated conditions the selected tyre's crown area is buffed to the required texture and contour. This is for better bonding of procured rubber to the casing. The buffed casing is mounted on the tread building machine. Cushion compound is applied on the buffed tread area over which the procured tread rubber is applied and stickled using rollers. The joint portion of the procured tread rubber is stepped to avoid possible opening during curing of the tyre. The build up of the tyre is covered by a rubber envelope and placed in the “bonder” and the bonder steam is passed at specific temperature, which cures the cushion compound to complete the bonding of the tread on the casing.

Quality Control and Standards

No such standard is available but the treading will be done as per the specifications fixed by tyre manufacturers.

Production Capacity (per annum)

1. LCV Tyre retreading Size-700×15 2400 Nos.
2. Passenger Car Tyre Retreading Size-590×15 3600 Nos.
3. Truck Tyre Retreading Size-300×20 3000 Nos.

Motive Power 20 HP.

Pollution Control

Tyre Retreading work generally should not be done in public place and NOC from Pollution Control Board may be obtained.

Energy Conservation

All efforts are to be put in for optimum utilization of power. The following measures can be adopted to conserve power and save energy:

1. Proper maintenance of power operated equipments and machinery and fuel operated boiler and their judicious use.

2. Shed to be properly ventilated and covered with transparent sheet to have enough light in day time with minimum requirements of lighting.
