A device utilizing pneumatic force to separate a tire’s bead from the wheel rim. This process is essential for tire removal and replacement, allowing technicians to access and repair the tire or wheel. Its operation relies on compressed air to actuate a mechanism that pushes the tire bead away from the rim flange, breaking the seal and enabling easier tire dismounting. Common applications include automotive repair shops, tire service centers, and vehicle maintenance facilities.
This method offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency and power compared to manual alternatives. The application of compressed air allows for a more controlled and forceful bead separation, reducing the risk of damage to both the tire and the wheel. Historically, manual bead breakers required considerable physical exertion and were often less effective, leading to potential inefficiencies and increased labor costs. The pneumatic system streamlines the process, improving overall productivity and ensuring safer operation.
