Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT), one of the leading manufacturers in the off-highway tyres, participated in 14th IMME 2018 held on 31st October to 3rd November, 2018 at Eco Park, Rajarhat, Kolkata. BKT previewed Earthmax SR 48 and Earthmax SR 53 for the Indian region. In addition to a selection of tires for mining applications, on display, there were other patterns out of the extensive Earthmax tire line up.

The debuting Earthmax SR 48 (E-4), displayed in Kolkata in size 27.00 R49, is an all-steel radial OTR tire specially engineered and designed for rigid body haul truck. SR 48 delivers enhanced traction and tread wear in severe rocky operations. The tire is specifically designed to transfer heavy loads with higher speed. Thanks to its all-steel casing, this tire provides superior protection against shock, fatigue and rock drilling/ penetration to enhance uptime for higher productivity. The SR 48 also possesses excellent self-cleaning capability.

The other highlight tire at the event, the Earthmax SR 53, a specially designed for loader or dozer. This is suitable for severe rocky conditions and tough/rigorous scrap handling operations. This pattern is also designed for self-cleaning. Extra deep tread and customised compound deliver extended tread wear and also provide resistance to rock cuts and punctures.

BKT also exhibited Earthmax SR 51,a specially engineered, non-directional tire which has an optimal lug angle, which enables it to provide excellent traction in dig and load operations. With the L-5 extra deep tread with special tread, the compound delivers long tire life. Its self-cleaning tread pattern protects tire from stone retention/drilling and square shoulder design pushes loose stones aside to protect the sidewall from cuts and damage. The SR 51 is suitable for loader or dozer operation in moderate to severe conditions.

Also of interest is Earthmax SR 47, exhibited in size 24.00 R35 which is specifically designed for rigid haul trucks operating in the toughest transport applications such as rock quarrying.
