Behind Every Solid Tire – Manufacturing Process

Solid tires are simply shaped and constructed similarly to air-filled tires with layers of rubber and metal ply that give it some of the spring that pneumatic tires are known for. They are rolled in thin layers of rubber onto a metal frame mount and pressed through a hydraulic pressure system. This process solidifies the form and makes the rubber hold. These layers are added using a wheel. With every full rotation of a wheel turn, the process adds another layer. The thickness of these layers varies depending on the application of the tire.
