The tyre shop in the coal mining industry is a specialized facility responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of heavy vehicle tires. This facility supports coal mining operations by ensuring the reliability and efficiency of vehicles, as well as the safety of their use in harsh working environments.

The main problems in this unit along with effective solutions from Eonchemicals include the following:

1. Problem: Anti Seize Bolt & Nut

In coal mining, bolts and nuts are generally exposed to moisture, heat, dust, and chemicals. As a result, they can rust and become difficult to open or repair. This leads to unplanned downtime and increased maintenance costs due to the need for replacing seized or damaged components.

Solution: Molykote 1000

The renowned solution product, Molykote 1000, is a solid lubricant paste, free of lead or nickel. This specialty lubricant can protect bolt joints from corrosion and high temperatures up to 650°C. It is used after assembly or at the initial operation, suitable for bolts that need to be removed or re-tightened. Molykote 1000 ensures consistent pre-stressing force and uniform, stable friction coefficients. It is an excellent solution for the protection and performance of bolts and nuts across various industries.

2. Problem: Rim Corrosion, High Tire Temperature

Rim corrosion and high tire temperatures are common issues in the coal mining industry. Corrosion occurs due to exposure to moisture and corrosive substances, reducing the lifespan of the rims.

High tire temperatures are caused by heavy loads and rough terrain, increasing the risk of overheating and tire blowouts. These issues reduce efficiency and increase the risk of accidents and downtime.

Solution: EonCoat 551 Primer, EonRim 776

EonCoat 551 is a two-component anti-corrosion epoxy coating. After the curing process, the resulting layer is very hard and highly resistant to impacts and chemicals. This product can be applied to new construction surfaces or used as a primer for anti-corrosion coating maintenance systems in various applications.
