QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The cage features patented air blast refraction frames, where two layers of stretch metal are welded together to redirect and absorb the shock wave from a tire burst. This reduces the blast force to only 10% to 15% of its original strength. The reinforced frame and safety curtain design further minimize risks from flying debris such as bolts or rim fragments.
Yes, the refraction frame design allows a clear view of the tire throughout the inflation process. This enables technicians to inspect the tire visually before rolling it out of the cage, improving safety and efficiency in maintenance workflows.
The front door of the cage locks securely once the wheel is in place. A side sliding door provides convenient access for connecting inflation hoses, while the tire rests on rollers that allow technicians to rotate it into the correct position without lifting or straining.
Full plate frames are integrated into the cage to protect operators from flying nuts, bolts, or other fragments if a rim splits during inflation. This design ensures that even in extreme failure scenarios, the operator remains shielded from harm.
The rollers allow tires to be rotated smoothly inside the cage, making it easier to align the valve stem and connect inflation hoses. This feature reduces manual effort, improves technician ergonomics, and speeds up the servicing process.
After inflation or deflation, the tire can be pushed out of the cage using a convenient foot pedal. This design minimizes physical strain on operators and ensures a safe, controlled release of the wheel from the test system.
Yes, the system is designed to inflate aircraft tires without the need for constant operator supervision. This time-saving feature allows technicians to safely perform other tasks while the cage manages the inflation cycle.
Yes, the cage can be equipped with a KUNZ Automatic Tire Inflator (ATI), which installs on the top or side of the unit. The ATI is operated via a touchscreen interface and provides programmable, automated inflation sequences for greater accuracy and efficiency.
