MRT - Buffing

Precise buffing is critical to retread performance. Proper buff texture strengthens the tread to casing bond. MRT uses an automated computer-controlled radial buffing system guided by a casing specification database, continuous undertread measurement, and handheld electronic Undertread Proximity Sensor to ensure optimal undertread depth. All MRT plants also utilize a buffer mounted undertread measurement device to make sure proper undertread is achieved.

Bendix® Air Management System

View an introduction to the Bendix® air management system, a total air management solution that helps fleets and owner-operators reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing vehicle performance. Continuing in its efforts to provide the industry's most comprehensive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly air management energy system, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has developed three optimized components: the Bendix® PBS® Air Injection Engine Booster, Bendix® Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor, and Bendix® Electronic Air Control Dryer (EAC). The Bendix PBS engine booster is unlike any other product available on the market today. The PBS system is placed near the air intake manifold on an engine and monitors the Controller Area Network (CAN) for specific signals. Once the conditions for activation are met, the system injects compressed air from an auxiliary air tank into the engine manifold, delivering the desired amount of air that the diesel combustion processes require. Typically, when a driver presses down on the throttle to demand acceleration, there is a delay in engine response because of turbo lag. This lag constitutes the time difference between acceleration demand and the maximum air delivery of the turbocharger. The Bendix PBS system overcomes turbo lag by instantaneously injecting the desired air into the intake manifold, allowing the turbocharger to spin up to its full capacity and take over the air delivery demands. The pneumatically operated, single-cylinder Bendix Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor works together with PBS air injection and the Bendix Electronic Air Control Dryer, so that the compressor disengages during the portion of the duty cycle when no air is demanded. This greatly reduces power consumption from the engine and reduces fuel consumption. As a result of the reduced overall cycling, the life cycle of the compressor significantly increases and normal wear and tear is dramatically reduced. Vehicles can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3 percent when operating with the Bendix PBS system, up to another 3 percent with the Bendix Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor, and 1 percent more with the Bendix Electronic Air Control Dryer.
