One of the most critical wear components on a rotary vessel is the tire support system. Each rotary vessel is unique in their requirement for support of the tire.  Considerations such as operational temperatures, degree of slope & production variables just to name a few, play into the design and installation of the tire supports. Poorly designed tire support systems will cause premature wear to the tires, trunnions, bearings, and the drive train components.

The Rotary Service Company will design your tire supports specifically for your unit.

One size does not fit all!

RSC removes the existing tire support system, replacing it with filler bars, shims and stops designed specifically for your unit.

RSC’s tire support system is designed to provide maximum coverage to the inside dimension (ID) of the supported tire, allowing better distribution of loads through the tire to the trunnions, thus reducing metal fatigue and wear caused by continuous loading and unloading sections of the tire.

RSC shims between the filler bars and the shell, at four opposing points, to lock the tire into correct axial alignment with the shell. The remaining sections of the tire are shimmed sequentially to achieve at least 60% coverage of the ID of the tire, maintaining the axial alignment of the tire to the shell. RSC will bring the overall gap between the shell, (at the top of the unit), and the tire to an engineered spacing at production temperature.

Tire stops are installed to position the tire in correct radial rotation with the shell. RSC’s stops are welded directly to the filler bars on three sides of the stops. The stops cannot move, thus retaining the tire in correct radial alignment. The stops are a softer metal designed to wear before the tire as a normal feature. This design predicts a 5 to 7 year repeatable maintenance event that protects the sides of the tire from wear and will allow several additional serviceable years from the tire.
