Keeping with the theme of lowering maintenance costs and overall operational expenses, HSM Mining Solutions is now offering KTB Product's Rust Eliminator and Lube (RE&L) to mining end-users.
In its simplest form the product is a liquid that is added to the air chamber and acts as a "Rust Eliminator and Lube", that when used, impacts tire and rim maintenance on several different levels.
KTB's primary focus is to act as a rust inhibitor that prevents rust from building up on any part of the rim by forming a protective coating for the steel. KTB can also be used on rims with rust build-up and over time will clean the existing rust formation by simply washing it away during operation. With the use of the Rust Eliminator and Lube end-users can eliminate the added cost and downtime of constant rim clean up and re-painting as well as having to replace a rim in its entirety.
