• Tetroc will show 10 pieces of equipment for engine rebuilding and brake maintenance. Two of the items are brand new and one other shown for the first time at a UK exhibition.
Tetroc has a new parts cleaner from Sioux, USA for valves, rocker arms, con-rods, and so on; parts are automatically tumbled in a neoprenelined basket containing steel shot and solvent. Also new, from Kindermann of Germany, is a vacuum tester for checking the seating of valves in rebuilt cylinder heads.
A brake shoe profiling machine from Kindermann machines commercial vehicle brake shoes to match the exact radius of the brake drum. This gives immediate maximum brake efficiency and eliminates the bedding-in period. Among other Tetroc exhibits will be a brake drum lathe from Ruaro of Italy with twin-tool post and large capacity for commercial vehicle drums; its own manufacture magnetic crack detector for inspecting crankshafts, cylinder heads, blocks and other ferrous components; its own 60-ton cylinder liner press; a crankshaft straightening press using a combination of pressure and peening; a valve guide and seat insert machine for high precision and rapid fitting and machining of valve seat inserts and valve guides; and a valve refacing machine and a valve seat grinding machine Model 1725 from Sioux for low cost and accurate reclamation of valve seats.
