Tyre tripling machine COT‑3

DEUTSCHE VERSION   VERSION FRANCAISE

We do not make COT-3 anymore but we still offer spare parts for it. It was replaced by COT-10

A COT-3 pneumatic tire tripling machine is used for doubling tires (packing them one inside the other). With this brilliant machine you can easily load around 3000-3200 tires into a 40ft container, which lowers the shipping cost even by two thirds.

It is perfect for making 3 or 4-tire packs, but can make packs of 6 tires or more. When used properly the tire tripling machine is safe both for the operator and for the tires. Similarly to COT-2 it is powered by compressed air.

This machine is often used by tyre pyrolysis plants, as packing the tyres into bundles allows more tyres to be inserted into the reactor without having to cut through them. This ensures that the intact steel wire is arranged in bundles, making it significantly easier to separate it from the soot and pyrolysis oil once the reaction is complete.

For production, we use only the highest quality components that meet high safety standards. We will also offer technical support for several decades.

RULES OF TRIPLING tires:

The following are general rules for tripling tires. These are not rigid guidelines, as there are sometimes exceptions, which you should check yourself.

1. The table of the machine can fit a car, jeep or commercial tire with a maximum diameter of 22 inches;
2. The outer tire must be the same or larger in diameter than the inner tire (e.g. 16″ –> 16″, 18″ –> 17″).
3. Any tire that is less than 15 inches in diameter will need to be the last tire in the pack (the tire in the very center of the pack). It is impossible to fit another tire into a 14-inch or smaller tire because the jaws would be too close together and the vertical pusher would not fit between them;
4. The width of each tire into which another tire is inserted must be at least 10 mm larger than the tire being inserted (e.g. 215 –> 205).

PLEASE NOTE!

There are poor quality Chinese copies of our original machines available on the market. We strongly advise against buying them because they do not comply with EU safety requirements (e.g. they do not have a safety cage), which is dangerous for the operator and bystanders.
