In mining, every second counts. The constant movement of machinery, massive off-the-road (OTR) tires, and huge conveyor belt systems keep productivity high and operations profitable. But when equipment fails, downtime costs escalate quickly. Conveyor belt damages or OTR tire failures doesn’t just stop machinery – it stops the mine.
That’s where TECH Europe steps in. As part of the TRC Group, TECH Europe combines the strengths of two trusted brands: TECH for OTR tire repairs and PANG Industrial for conveyor belt repairs – to offer mines a complete, integrated repair solution from one partner.
OTR Tire Repairs: Smarter, Stronger, More Sustainable
Replacing an OTR tire is costly, time-consuming, and logistically complex. For mining operators, high-quality repair is often the only practical solution. TECH Europe specializes in extending tire life through advanced repair systems that deliver strength, durability, and cost savings.
From bead and sidewall to crown damage, TECH’s aramid-reinforced repair materials and proven processes keep vehicles moving in the toughest environments. With technical expertise, training, and partnerships with industry leaders like Kal Tire, Bridgestone, and Goodyear, TECH delivers tailored repair strategies that reduce downtime and maximize return on investment.
“Just as importantly, repair over replacement supports sustainability goals,” says Walter van Loon, VP of Sales & Training at TECH Europe.
“By extending tire life, TECH helps reduce waste and conserve resources, making repair both an economic and environmental advantage. Our dedicated team actively identifies OTR sites across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to understand their unique repair processes.”
PANG Industrial Conveyor Belt Repairs: Keeping Materials Moving
Alongside OTR tires, conveyors are the lifeline of mining operations as belt damage can bring production to a standstill. PANG Industrial provides the comprehensive repair materials and tools to keep conveyors running, with solutions covering hot and cold vulcanization, mechanical fasteners, and a range of non-flammable adhesives specifically designed for mines.
PANG’s belt repair patches are engineered to work seamlessly with its cements and chemicals, ensuring durable, reliable bonds even under the extreme conditions of mining. In addition, PANG Industrial’s uncured rubber compounds and breaker fabrics have been expertly designed to deliver hot splices that last the life of your belt.
From rubber to PVC to metal, PANG’s versatility ensures effective repairs across diverse conveyor systems.
