9. Repair Chart Consolidation With the reduction of sku’s to 8, the line items required for repair selection is reduced by 30%. More frequent turn-over of product! This makes the chart easier to read for technicians and repair size selection simpler.

10. RCF Product Line

11. Repair Unit Appearance The RCF units have a special bonding layer compound that becomes very tacky with pre- warming.

12. RCF-440+ Installed & Stitched

13. Additional RCF Requirements RCF repairs require heat and mechanical pressure methods… for pre-cure retreaders that means an Inside Envelope is required. Tube cures on quick-change rims also work. Tires cured in full bladder matrices (molds) can also use the RCF repairs. Repair systems using pad bladders can be used, as long as the entire surface of the repair unit has bladder pressure.

14. Cured Repair

15. RCF Production increases Besides the environmental benefits of the RCF system, repair production throughput increases 40%.

16. REVIEW OF BENEFITS Stops VOC exposure (employee & OSHA). Reduces inventory sku’s. Reduces the number of steps for repair. Saves labor cost per repair. Increased adhesion values of repairs. Reduces re-runs.
