Tracks are a better
alternative to wheels.

  • Especially in regions with frequent heavy rains, after which the soil becomes absolutely impassable.

  • They minimize the compaction of the upper layers, significantly speeding up crop growth and positively affecting yield increases.

  • To avoid damaging the soil and not delaying work deadlines, the best solution is to equip your machinery with rubber tracks.

Why Choose ASMtrack Rubber Tracks?

When choosing tracks, an important factor is the material they are made from. ASMtrack uses a combination of natural and synthetic rubber in its products. This blend offers a significant advantage over tracks made exclusively from synthetic polymers, especially in tough operating conditions.

Rubber tracks for tractors must have a significant reserve of strength. This coating will withstand any field loads and will not tear from contact with foreign objects. This is also facilitated by layers of metal cord and a durable 42 mm frame.

Advantages of Rubber Tracks for Tractors

The wheels of modern agricultural machinery are usually heavier than track systems. Additionally, due to their narrow pressure line, wheels tend to compact and damage the top layers of the soil. In contrast, the track system offers several significant advantages:
  • Weight Reduction: In many cases, replacing rear wheels with rubber tracks can result in a reduction of the total weight. This is especially relevant for medium-sized tractors.
  • Weight Distribution: Rubber tracks distribute the weight of the tractor more evenly over a larger surface area, reducing soil compaction.
  • Operational Efficiency: The reduction in weight and improved distribution can lead to better tractor performance and lower fuel consumption.
Replacing rear wheels with rubber tracks can not only reduce the overall weight of the tractor but also improve its efficiency, reduce the negative impact on the soil, and save fuel.

Advantages of Rubber Track Design

Guide Block Density

ASMtrack engineers focus on quality and durability. Firstly, it is important to note that a greater number of guide blocks have been included in the traction belt. As a result, the load on each individual block is reduced, leading to increased service life and track strength.

ASMtrack Tracks

Our guide blocks are molded directly onto the internal frame. This prevents them from breaking, especially with regular use on rough roads or when working on slopes.

Other Tracks

In this case, the guide blocks are “glued” to the track frame. When moving on curved roads or slopes, these blocks tend to separate.

Manufacturing Process of ASMtrack Tracks: Compression Molding and Autoclaving

Compression Molding and Autoclaving

At ASMtrack, our new tracks are manufactured using an advanced compression molding process, similar to that used in the production of tractor tires. This method involves processing and placing layers of material, followed by a vulcanization process between the surfaces of the mold plate to obtain the final shape of the tread and guide block.

In addition, at ASMtrack, we use an exclusive process that combines compression molding and autoclaving. This combination not only allows for a wide range of sizes but also ensures the integrity and long lifespan of our tracks and guide blocks. This hybrid approach maximizes the durability and strength of our tracks, ensuring their optimal performance in challenging working conditions.

Our competitors use the extrusion method in combination with autoclaving.

Our competitors use the extrusion method in combination with autoclaving.

Autoclave Production Process

In this case, the frame is created from layers of material, the tread is extruded separately, as is the guide block, and then they are joined together and the final vulcanization is carried out in a high-pressure chamber.

Disadvantages:

  • High Equipment Cost: The equipment and its setup are expensive.
  • Process Complexity: Careful control is required to maintain the proper distance between cable layers and prevent deformation.
  • Mass Production Limitations: It is difficult to translate this type of production to a mass production regime.

Conclusion

While the method used by our competitors provides sufficient strength, it has weaknesses in the integrity and durability of the guide blocks and the cable/layer structure. On the other hand, compression molding and autoclaving, although more expensive and complex, provide superior strength, design flexibility, and minimal risk of delamination of the track components, ensuring greater durability and efficiency in the field.

Internal Structure of Rubber Track Layers

Layer Structure

All our tracks have a 4-layer structure. What does this mean? The layer structure in a track is necessary to ensure dimensional stability. In addition, it protects the track from cuts, tears, and impacts.

Surface Layers

These outer layers of the track are designed to withstand direct contact with the ground and drive mechanisms. They are made of high-strength rubber that provides traction on various types of surfaces. Their specific design helps improve self-cleaning and minimize wear.

Angular Layers

The angular layers are placed at an angle to provide transverse stability to the track. These layers help to distribute the load evenly and maintain the integrity of the track when subjected to lateral forces, such as those generated when turning or moving on inclined terrain.

Side Layer

The fourth layer, which is present in all our tracks but only in some of our competitors, is the side layer. It is located on the inner side of the track, protecting the edge that comes into contact with the wheels and rollers of the tractor. This provides additional protection against damage caused by stones and other hard objects, as well as offering extra structural support for heavier machinery.

Reinforcement Layer (Metal Cable)

This layer consists of multiple metal threads twisted into a spiral, which provide high tensile strength. The metal cable reinforces the structure of the track, preventing stretching and breakage under heavy loads. In addition, it ensures that the track maintains its shape and size during use.

Various diameters are available on the market.

The choice of cable diameter depends on the torque transmitted through the track. The greater the torque and the heavier the machine or tractor, the larger the cable diameter required. Currently, all our tracks have a cable diameter of 6.3 mm.

There is no need to use cables of a larger diameter than required by the machine, as this can negatively affect energy and fuel consumption, increasing costs. The correct cable size will reduce fuel consumption without compromising strength.

Our Warranty

The ASMtrack product line comes with a 2-year or 1500-hour warranty. This policy is fair and precise, as it is based on the wear formula of the track over time. For 2 years, we provide a warranty on the tracks, but the amount you could receive from a claim decreases as the track wears out.
