Tire factory! Titan Tires invited us to take a tour of their Des Moines Iowa factory. Tires make the farm go round! Here on Welker Farms we have more tires than we can count and being able to see they come from was quite an amazing experience. Come join just as we explore the factory!
Titan Tires is the manufacturer of the worlds largest ag tire:

We also took a wrong turn and some how ended up at Cole The Cornstar's farm!

That was the same question I had the new tires say Goodyear on the side but you keep talking about Titan tires. Probably also a money thing not having to replace all of those molds so they said Titan instead of Goodyear on the sidewall.

Definitely seeing the manufacturing process gives you an appreciation for it. I work in the oil industry and every time I go to fill my car with gas I think about what it takes to get that oil out of the ground, convert it to gasoline and in my car's tank. Just to construct an oil well is a huge undertaking. You have to drill the well, case and cement it, perforate it with explosive charges, run a lower completion, do whatever well treatments are required (fracking is the most well know one), run an upper completion, Install a christmas tree, tanks or pipeline. It hasn;t even gone to a refinery at this point. It is just incredible how much work goes into these things.

That was a blast to my past! I actually worked in that factory in Des Moines, on 2nd Ave. back in the early 80s for 2 years and there I met a foreman for the Premier Heavy Equipment Company, McAninch and that began my transformation from a tire builder, to a Heavy Equipment (CAT) Operator. Nice pay raise - MUCH better working conditions (Heated and AC cabs, stereo, etc lol) and much better scenery with different road construction jobsites all around Central Iowa. Retired in 2006 and enjoying these videos, gardening and doing a LOT of fishing! :-)

I graduated from the state school science as it was called at that time in Wahpeton North Dakota 1971 in Auto-Mec. We took a road trip tour to Minneapolis of the Grant Battery Factory. They manufactured batteries for many different companies they just changed the specifications and dimensions to whatever the different companies required. Thanks for the tour of the tire manufacturing industry very interesting. I knew they formed and vulcanize the tread with heat at the end but I was curious about those little pieces sticking out also. We both received an education.

Many farmers have a second job unless you have a large number of livestock. My stepfather, grandfather & grandmother all worked at the Goodyear tire plant producing truck tires & earth-mover tires. Grandma ran 1 of 10 tires thru and X-ray machine looking for defects, placement, thickness, etc. My stepfather moved tires with a forklift. My step grandfather built the inflatable center part that steam pushes the the tire into the mold, while steam was circulated around the outside. A chain hoist lifted the upper mold half automatically after a temperature was reached and held for a period of time. It changes will all variables for size, compounds, etc. I had been thru the plant on open house on 4-5 times. Gloves used at different stages would gather green rubber and once the gloves where to hard to use, they where normally thrown away. Famers would use these gloves to string barbwire to build a fence. They worked great for that. Great video!
