The choice of foam filled tires and solid tires is no longer an academic one, but will affect throughput, the total maintenance budget, and life cycle costs of the fleet in rudimentary obvious terms.<\/p><p>The use of foam filled off the road (shortened OTR in the rest of this discussion) tires and full OTR tire foam filling machines in Mining operations across Europe and part of the mining fleets in Southeast Asia now account for over 42% of the reduction in down time in fleets of payloads of 20 tons and upwards.<\/p><p>Solid Tires that are virtually punctureproof expose wheel trueness to compaction stresses. To eliminate rim stress over a given surface area, such tire fancy can otherwise only bow to the sport of slowing down vehicle speed over uneven terrain.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Where They Differ in Construction<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong><b>Foam Filled Tires<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Core:<\/b><\/strong>Polyurethane foam injected into tire cavity directly from an OTR tire high-capacity foam filling station.<\/li><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Important variables:<\/b><\/strong>Foam density is generally in the neighbourhood of <strong><b>45\u20130.65 g\/cm\u00b3<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0for normal mining tires and provides firm bases for load working, and up to 1 g\/cm\u00b3 or more for heavy duty port application.<\/li><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Behaviour under load:<\/b><\/strong>The foam shocks up and shares load over a much wider area of contact, compared with an equivalent solid tire reducing the stress at the rime base by <strong><b>18\u201322%<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Limitations:<\/b><\/strong>Require no removal for most minor repairs, and in any event a small tarpaulin covered foam refilling pump keeps on-site filling submitted for most emergencies.<\/li><\/ul><h3><strong><b>Solid Tires<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Core:<\/b><\/strong>High density rubber to continuous block or polyurethane mixes simply moulded.<\/li><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Load:<\/b><\/strong>Capable of handling such huge static loads as to offer certainty against collapse. Suitable for industrial forklifts or material handling.<\/li><li><b><\/b><strong><b>Limitations:<\/b><\/strong>Belts or rollers fitted with PU foam are at a disadvantage compared to those fitted with foam filling due to failure to penetrate terrain. Rolling resistance could be higher, especially on uneven or off-road surfaces. Long term use on rocky surfaces could produce failure of the driveline earlier, by <strong><b>15\u201320% less<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0than using foam.<\/li><\/ul><h2><strong><b>Application Boundary Conditions<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><ul><li>Foam filled tires work best on <strong><b>irregular terrain<\/b><\/strong>, where mobility is required and vehicles operate in puncture-prone zones. The foam can handle ambient temperatures up to <strong><b>+70\u00b0C<\/b><\/strong>for a prolonged period; beyond this, PU foam softens and loses load-bearing properties.<\/li><li>Solid tires are ideal for <strong><b>factory, warehouse, and port\/feeder applications<\/b><\/strong>. Deployment on rocky terrain increases vibration, causes driver fatigue, and accelerates vehicle wear.<\/li><\/ul><p>From an experienced fleet manager: \u201cA common misconception is that foam density selection is intuitive; most new operators coming in from hard rubber believe that denser foam means harder tire, therefore better durability. In practice, excessive wall thickness doesn\u2019t absorb shock sufficiently and leads to rim stress increasing.
