In order to competently organize a tire fitting section, it is necessary to calculate how much money will need to be invested in organizing a workplace and what type of equipment needs to be installed.
First of all, you need a tire changer. It can be automatic or semi-automatic. In the first, the rotation of the table and the lowering of the presser foot are pneumatically driven. Such a machine does not require large physical costs from the operator, which significantly increases productivity. That is why it is recommended to purchase an automatic machine for a tire changer with a large flow of cars. In a semi-automatic machine, the tire changer foot is lowered manually by pressing on the shaft. Fixation is carried out by a mechanical device, only the table rotates automatically. That is why the machine is called semi-automatic. To eliminate damage to tires, tubes and other work associated with the vulcanization of rubber, it is necessary to purchase a vulcanizer. This device works on the principle of a press. The patch or cover is clamped on both sides for a tighter bond. The heating elements, between which the materials are fixed, provide a seal. When choosing a vulcanizer, you should pay attention to the presence of a timer, which will facilitate the work. To carry out balancing, you need a special machine, of which there are a great many on the market. There are balancing machines with manual input of parameters, manual drive and brake, and there are whole balancing and diagnostic centers where all actions take place in automatic mode. The main requirement for this device is the ability to balance cast and steel discs with an accuracy of no more than 1 g. Most often, a piston compressor is used at the tire fitting site. The pressure of the device must be at least 10 bar, since the pressure of the tire changer is between 8 and 10 bar. When using one such machine, it will be enough to install a compressor with a storage volume of 50 liters. But if you plan to connect additional equipment, you will need a compressor with a receiver volume of 100 liters. The tub for tire fitting allows you to check the tightness of the cameras and tubeless tires, as well as detect punctures and cuts on them. However, this type of equipment is optional. Don't forget to purchase consumables such as patches, raw rubber, valves, balancing weights, cleaners, tire paste, valves, harnesses, etc.
