MINEXPO PREVIEW
concerns thanks to Kal Tire’s new OTR recycling service located in Alberta. In
2016, Kal Tire partnered with a leader in tyre recycling to give mine
operators an opportunity to have scrap tyres (including ultra-class tyres)
disposed, shredded and converted into products such as sports field
flooring.
Chilean mines will soon be able to recycle scrap tyres when Kal Tire
opens its first pyrolysis recycling facility. The chambers in the Antofagasta
plant, which will one day have the capacity to recycle nearly 20,000 kg/d of
tyres, use heat in the absence of oxygen to melt and decompose tyres into
reusable steel wire, fuel oil and carbon black—repurposing nearly 100% of
the tyre.
RIMEX is celebrating a major milestone this year, 40 years in the industry,
and at MINExpo will roll out a new release of its powerful TyreSense
technology.
Since its inception in the 1970s, RIMEX has evolved into a global leader in
wheels and rims for mining. Plus, in the last 15 years, RIMEX says it “has
come to dominate tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) with its best-ofclass TyreSense technology. TyreSense wheel sensors endure the
TyreSense system aims at more than just tyre monitoring; it optimises the
data it generates to provide clients with an overall asset and fleet
