BOULDER CITY, Nev., PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amerityre Corporation , a leading developer of polyurethane tire technologies and tire products, today announced that it has initiated commercial production of solid polyurethane elastomer tires. After successful completion of a rigorous development program, Amerityre has been awarded the production business by Oxbo International Corporation to supply 15"x 13" solid polyurethane elastomer gage tires for use in farm implements employed in chopping or baling alfalfa or hay. Oxbo is a major manufacturer of specialized agricultural equipment and currently supplies products worldwide to more than 20 countries.
"We are very pleased with the polyurethane elastomer tires developed for us by Amerityre. We believe Amerityre's tire technology will allow us to achieve greater customer satisfaction through improvements in the durability and performance of our products," commented Gary Stich, President and CEO of Oxbo.
"We have been working with Oxbo for the past year to develop a tire-wheel combination that would be tough enough to replace the steel gage wheels that have previously been used in this application. We're happy that the tire we've developed is more than up to the job, and we're currently working with Oxbo on other tire projects utilizing our solid polyurethane tire technology," added Gary N. Benninger, Amerityre's President and CEO.
"What is significant here is that we have now launched the first of several solid polyurethane elastomer tire products that Amerityre has been developing for the commercial markets. We have recently demonstrated the capability of making solid polyurethane elastomer forklift tires at the rate of a tire per minute, using Amerityre's advanced production technology. We hope to see this product go commercial in the near future," explained Benninger.
