Accella Tyre Fill Systems™, the manufacturer of the branded TyrFil™ line, offers the mining industry a trusted, high quality tyre flatproofing solution designed to improve the efficiency of underground and above surface mining operations. Most importantly, Accella TyrFil—a polyurethane material that is pumped into Off-the-Road (OTR) mining vehicle tyres, replacing all the air—helps to keep operators safer by protecting them from injuries that can result from dangerous, unwanted flats and catastrophic blowouts on the job, while also avoiding costly downtime from a flat or damaged tyre.
In addition to preventing tyre flats 100% of the time, Accella TyrFil also specifically helps to reduce your mining tyre budget and promote safety in a myriad of ways:
- Reduces labor costs and machine downtime – Since TyrFil replaces all of the air, it eliminates the need for tyre pressure maintenance. This decreases manual intervention therefore reducing labour costs and increasing machine availability.
- Extends tyre life (lower tyre cost-per-hour/ton) – TyrFil maintains a consistent tyre pressure which results in an even load distribution at all times, improved machine and load stability, and increased heat resistance.
- Extends tyre life (lower tyre cost-per-hour/ton) – TyrFil maintains a consistent tyre pressure which results in an even load distribution at all times, improved machine and load stability, and increased heat resistance.
- Prevents tyre denigration – TyrFil increases heat resistance and helps to prevent tyre denigration in weather and temperature extremes – a dynamic that’s particularly relevant to the mining industry where machines are frequently exposed to unusually harsh conditions.
- Improves traction – TyrFil reduces the potential of rim slippage which is especially critical in preserving safe working conditions in underground mining. The use of TyrFil directly enables operators to keep heavy machinery stabilized – a safety feature that’s essential in this environment.
- Adheres fully to machine warranty conditions – TyrFil is OEM-Approved.
- Reduces environmental impact and carbon footprint – Polyurethane TyrFil flatproofing is a recyclable material composed of many sustainable raw materials.
TyrFil flatproofing improves efficiencies, promotes safety and increases production tonnages resulting in significant cost savings at your mining operation!
“Our Accella TyrFil flatproofing line is engineered to perform under the extreme conditions in the international mining industry,” explained Mike Arnold, Vice President of Accella Tyre Fill Systems. “Few other industrial fields expose both workers and OTR machinery to the same harsh rigors and temperature extremes that mining does. These conditions can wreak havoc on operators, assets and productivity. The mining industry needs a trusted solution to support their bottom-line. TyrFil is uniquely suited to eliminate flat tyres and prevent catastrophic blowouts—something which is absolutely critical, especially in underground operations.”
