Explosion-Proof Bead Breaker – Salient Features and Specifications Key Features
· The bead breaker is constructed with a durable, U-shaped steel frame, securely mounted on a tubular base with a central hinge. This design supports the functional components required for tire demounting.
· To operate, the tire is positioned vertically within the open frame. A hydraulic cylinder assembly, positioned on the right side, applies clamping pressure to secure the tire and wheel while exerting force to break the bead.
· Adjustable breaking sliders and adapter plates are integrated to accommodate different wheel and tire sizes.
· The hydraulic system, designed for explosion-proof operation, powers both the elevation and bead-breaking cylinders. It includes a pump, control valve assemblies, and a hydraulic fluid reservoir, driven by an electric motor activated via a safety-focused, spring-loaded foot switch.
· The control panel incorporates a universal transformer, allowing compatibility with various AC voltages.
· Safety is prioritized with dead-man type, spring-loaded control valves mounted on the frame for both the elevating and breaking cylinders.
