Rotary Unit Tires

Rotary unit tires play a vital role in the continuation of your process.

Much like the tires on your vehicle, rotary unit tires play a vital role in the continuation of your process. Industrial Kiln & Dryer Group® has the capability to design new, single, two-piece or four-piece tires for your process– no matter the make or model of the unit. We have both domestic and international supplier partners whom we have long established relationships with, who continue to meet our strict quality requirements. Our team has the engineering horsepower and we always design to meet or exceed the original OEM specification of your unit. Do not let an issue continue “as is” and risk a catastrophic failure. Call us for an on-site inspection.
