Rubber Scrapper

Description

Surface Preparation Tool

A Rubber Scrapper is a vital tool used in the tyre retreading process to prepare the tyre surface for the application of new tread material. It is designed to remove worn-out tread, dirt, and other contaminants from the tyre, ensuring that the surface is smooth and clean. The scraper also aids in removing any remaining rubber layers that may prevent the bonding of the new tread. Scrapers come in various shapes and sizes, allowing technicians to choose the best one for the specific retreading requirements.

Specifications

• Material: Steel or carbide-coated blade for durability
• Length: Typically ranges from 6 inches to 12 inches
• Handle: Ergonomic handle for better grip and control
• Blade Type: Single or double-edged blade
• Application: Used for cleaning and roughening the tyre surface

Usage Steps

1. Position the Scrapper: Hold the scrapper at an appropriate angle against the tyre surface.
2. Scrape the Surface: Move the scrapper along the tyre’s surface to remove the old tread and prepare the area for bonding.
3. Clean the Tyre: Continue until the surface is clean and free from any contaminants.
4. Inspect the Surface: Ensure that the surface is properly prepared before moving on to the next step in the retreading process.

This tool is essential for the proper preparation of tyres before retreading, making it a crucial step for ensuring the longevity and safety of retreaded tyres.
