Compared to pneumatic tires, solid tires are not filled with air. They are mostly made of solid rubber material and are designed for use on smooth industrial surfaces and some military equipment.
Solid tires last longer. Due to its solid rubber core, it allows you to retread the tire whenever the tire surface is flattened; This means that your tire can last longer. For this reason, solid tires are significantly more expensive than pneumatic tires.
But it should be noted that solid tires do not have the ability to absorb strong shocks, which means that if you plan to move your equipment outdoors and on uneven sand, you can only use pneumatic tires. Therefore, solid tires require a smooth and flat surface for use.
Specific features of solid sponge tires include the following:
1- Bulletproof and puncture proof of sponge and solid tires, and for this reason they are specially used in military equipment.
2- The possibility of using the tire until the tire tread is completely worn out and increasing the life of the tire
3- The lightness of the anti-puncture and anti-bullet tire (maximum 2 times the total weight of the elastic rim)
4- Bearing more pressure than pneumatic tires
5- Non-explosion, dullness and safety of the tire rubber when dealing with sharp and cutting parts
6- The elastic properties (wind) can be adjusted according to the customer’s order
Heat resistance properties from -20 to 120 degrees Celsius 7.
8- The price is more suitable than the tires without thread and all integrated rubber wire
Difference between solid tire and air tire
1. Pneumatic tires are filled with air, their tread is very deep, they are made of durable rubber, they are suitable for heavy duty equipment and extend their life, but unlike pneumatic tires that are filled with air. solid tires do not have an air chamber and have the property of not having punctures, and in this tire, the rubber layer is placed on a metal ring, solid tires are produced in two standard rim models, and this is another difference between solid and inflatable tires .
2. The service life of solid tires is very long and long, but like pneumatic tires, it does not increase the useful life of the equipment, so these tires are not suitable for long-term heavy work outside the workshop, and they have a small radius of circulation compared to pneumatic tires, but their storage period is longer than It is pneumatic tires.
3. A solid tire can provide the lowest operating cost and yet work in the toughest conditions. Solid tires are designed to last longer than pneumatic tires. This life is due to the type of special compounds used in solid tires. The tear resistance of solid tires is almost higher than that of pneumatic tires.
4. The solid rubber will make the movement of the equipment smoother, the vibration will be less and you will have more comfort while using the equipment. The advanced design of solid tires makes the indicators that are related to the optimal load bearing in round objects to be strengthened in this tire, which reduces the possibility of cracks in the points that bear the maximum pressure and increases the life of the solid tire.
Longevity of solid tires and pneumatic tires
The life span of solid rubber and pneumatic tires depends on various parameters, the most important of which is the nature of the work done with solid and pneumatic tires. Tires that are specifically designed for industrial use may generally have a thicker sidewall and use more rubber and have a better outer diameter, but sponge and solid tires usually last longer than pneumatic tires.
