Mining Industry
In Australia's Pilbara region, Puncture Proof has led the way with one of the world's largest mining companies, Rio Tinto.
From their 4WD fleets, through to 250 tonne dump trucks, not only has Puncture Proof excelled at eliminating punctures, it has also proved itself as a tyre coolant, lowering tyre temperature, and reducing the risk of delamination, thereby extending tyre life, and increasing production.
One of the largest tyre related problems within the mining industry is the degradation of the inner lining of the tyre. This is caused by punctures, excessive heat and sidewall fatigue. Puncture proof has solved this problem by conditioning the inner lining of the tyre, keeping it cool, soft and pliable.
Puncture Proof assists the assembly and dis-assembly of tyre and rim components resulting in increased safety and significant time savings.
Additonally, in an environment where Occupational Health and Safety is paramount, Puncture Proof has excelled by increasing safety levels for operators.
Eliminate punctures and reduce tyre failure. Drastically reduce downtime and increase production. The cost benefits are huge!

Codelco Andina Division has proven a 20% reduction on downtime due to tyre repairs and calculates an overall 3% increase in production output. With the incorporation of Puncture Proof into more of it's fleet we are certain to surpass this figure.

As Puncture Proof is a propylene glycol based product (NOT ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic), we are now enjoying great success with our products in undergound mining, as it is chemically inert and safe to use in this dangerous environment. |
