Mining

Overview

 

 

OKO Mining Xtra heavy duty is an essential aid to operators of vehicles that suffer the very harshest off-road terrain.

  • The strongest tire sealant yet produced
  • Designed for Mines, Quarries and rough Construction & Waste Management sites
  • Permanently seals multiple holes up to 20mm+: conditions tires and extends tire life
  • For Extra Heavy-Duty requirements
  • Often eliminates the need for Solid Fill in tires
  • Up to 80 km/hr: 50 mph
  • 25 litre drum & durable pump

 

 

Fitting tires with solid polyurethane fill is one solution but it carries a heavy weight penalty, is very expensive and adversely affects the ride, as well as placing a strain on axles. In most cases, extra heavy-duty OKO Mining can work as well as solid fill, at a fraction of the cost and with minimal weight penalty. It seals holes of more than 20mm in diameter. That is why it is the natural choice for mines, quarries, waste management plants and rough construction sites.

OKO Mining is primarily designed for use off the highway. It can be used on road for slower-moving trucks and service vehicles, and is often used in countries with bad road surfaces; it is preferred to other sealants for use inside inner tubes.

 

 

Characteristics

 

  • Punctures are one of the most common causes of costly downtime, and OKO can eliminate most of them
  • Can avoid the tire damaging itself on the rim and having to be replaced
  • Seals the hole in the tread area the moment the puncture happens
  • Designed for use in the harshest off-road environments
  • Lasts the legal life of the tire
  • Deals with loss of air and provides a permanent seal to any hole in the tread area caused by puncturing objects with a diameter of 20mm+ in large tires

Features

 

The black 25 litre drum is used in combination with a durable aluminium-barrelled pump (sold separately), which delivers 200ml per downward stroke for rapid and accurate filling through the valve stem. Our specially-designed pump works against pressure, so you can inject OKO into tires containing up to 45 psi/ 3.1 BAR.

Because OKO is water-soluble, the pump washes clean for repeated use, and if the tire is removed from the rim in the future both the tire and the wheel can be hosed clean. Anti-corrosion agents prevent any damage to either.

Precise calculations depend on the tire size and type but typically OKO can be fitted to all 4 large industrial tires for much less than the cost of replacing one tire, even using a remould.
