10. NDI Casing Analyzer

The NDI Casing Analyzer is a sophisticated machine that detects air leaks and casing separations. It does this by using Ultrasonic sound waves sent from transmitters, through the casing to receivers and onto the computer. The computer monitor helps determine the size, severity and location of casing separations and air leaks. This machine is used as part of Kal Tire's retreading process.


This process can save your fleet money because:

• We can determine the size and location of separations better than ever before, reducing potential road failures and costly downtime repairs and service.

• We can now determine the application and wheel position in which your valuable casing, once retreaded, can provide the best service and a lower cost per mile.

• It reduces the potential for costly downtime by detecting separations that cannot be detected by normal visual inspection methods.
