The TNM-1 Tread Nesting Machine quickly folds car and light truck tire treads and nests them into one another after sidewalls have been separated from a tire with EECO's Sidewall Remover. This nesting process dramatically reduces the space required per tread, simplifying storage and logistics. The machine is completely pneumatic, it is capable of nesting many more treads than an operator could do manually in a fraction the time. Operation is simple, start with the machine in the UP position:
- Place a tread over the tread draping shafts, firmly against the machine.
Start with a small diameter tread and use progressively larger diameter treads. - Switch the machine into the DOWN position.
- Load another tread. This may be done while the nesting action is in progress.
- Switch the machine back to the UP position.
- Repeat steps 2-3-4 until ~6-9 treads have been nested together.
- Remove the nested treads from the machine.
There is no regular maintenance required for this machine. The common wear parts (bearings, air hoses, etc.) are standard "off the shelf" parts. Most parts are available locally. All parts are available from EECO.
