Recycling.

Working with smouldering hot slag, can lead to lost equipment and risks human life. 

Steelmaking is one of the toughest environments for men and machines. Pot carriers are used to carry 40 cu m loads of molten slag to the dumping pit where wheeled loaders transfer the still fiery slag to the recycling point which recovers residual steel for re-smelting and limestone cinder for block-making. Whether liquid or cooling, slag is an unforgiving material subjecting tyres to
fire, cuts and heavy abrasion. Specifically developed and especially hardened forged wear links ensure optimal tyre protection even on hot and burning surfaces.

RECYCLING SCRAP METAL AND DEMOLISHED BUILDINGS PLACES ENOURMOUS DEMANDS ON LOADER TYRES

Anyone who has visited a demolition site, or a scrap metal reprocessor will be acutely aware of the hidden hazards faced daily by the tyres of wheeled loaders.
In demolition for versatility a wheeled loader is used to feed the crusher hopper and load the tipper trucks. Every time the loader crowds into the demolition heap there is a risk that a tyre will be pierced by a concealed length of rebar. Similar damage can occur when loading flattened cars into the baler or lifting tangled pieces of metal for smelting.
In each instance a burst tyre can bring production to a standstill while a replacement is found. A tyre protection chain such as Erlau’s RING-RING system which encases the
vulnerable tread and sidewall of the tyre with a close impenetrable mesh. With deadlines to meet, the loader operator can be assured that, having fitted ERLAU TPCs, any delay will not be due to his tyres.
