Today, meeting the global demand for rubber products is highly dependent on the ability of tire plants to increase its manufacturing capacity and fulfill the demanding requirements of the global consumers. As the tire industry is concerned with consumer demands for higher performance and new environmental regulations. Usually, main players in this market handle these challenges with global mergers and relocation of production centers to emerging developing economies.
As tire industry is a traditional part of the rubber industry, high standards are setting the bar in order to meet these capacities, thus level of competition is increasing and manufacturers are producing at high yields alongside low cost manufacturing. The primary reason for that is the utilization of used tire equipment which is substantially lower in cost then new machinery. As used tire equipment, in good condition, has a market value of 20% compared to new machines, it is obvious why these used tire machines are so popular. Even though they were manufactured decades ago, the high quality of the metals, along with good maintenance, engineering and technology, make used tire equipment to be chosen by most many known manufacturers around the world. As Pelmar inventory consists of top brands and manufacturers of used tire equipment, it is possible to choose the most suitable machines and accommodate them with specific applications.

Moreover, used tire equipment is also used as spare parts due to the high wear of the mechanical parts. This option was not approachable in the far past but today manufacturers have become assemblers using sub-contractors for parts, even critical ones. When acquiring used tire equipment, spare parts are generally included in the deal and therefore can be offered later at rather attractive prices to the end user. Actually, with the availability of spare parts, the acquired used tire equipment if well maintained can operate for many decades without affecting its performance.
From a financial point of view, by means of utilizing used tire equipment considerable costs saving is taking place along with encouraging manufacturers to improve their products in order to extend the life expectancy as the material would have been scrapped otherwise.
From a technical point of view, it reduces world energy consumption as manufacturing new machines requires abundant energy resources. In addition, it provides jobs to riggers, assemblers, technicians and mechanics.
Today, most of tire manufacturers have realized the importance and advantages of used tire equipment hence it is not surprising why it became more common to buy second hand equipment for production or research and development purposes.
Pelmar group currently has the largest inventory selection of pre owned machinery around the globe, which includs various kidns of used tire equipment, for instance: Tire curing Presses, tire building machines, mixing lines etc. In addition, Pelmar provides engineering solution and consultancy for the tire & rubber industry.
