Tire Sealant Pumping System
“Our new tire sealant pumping system hooks up to an air compressor to quickly pump sealant into tires, eliminating the need to do any hand pumping or to take tires off rims. It saves a lot of time and labor,” says David Prickett, Neverlift Pump Systems (NLPS), Fresno, Calif.
    The new system is designed to be used with 5-gal. buckets of Monster Seal tire sealant, which prevents flats.
    “Hand pumping can take 13 to 14 min. per tire, with additional time spent reinflating each tire afterward. Our system works much faster,” says Prickett. “We can put sealant into an 11R-22.5 truck tire in about 1 min. without the need to reinflate.”
    The pump mounts with an adapter to the top of the bucket lid. The system includes 2 hoses - one for the sealant and one to fill the tire with air (if it needs more). A pressure valve is built into the pump. The air hose is fitted with a core removal tool, invented by Prickett, that’s used to remove the core from the tire’s valve stem. The air inside the tire pushes the core up into the core removal tool and holds it there, creating an open line to the tire.
    The operator then opens a valve, allowing the sealant to flow into the tire unobstructed, says Prickett. “A battery-operated meter on the pump assembly indicates the amount of sealant delivered into the tire.”
    The system comes with an air pressure gauge, allowing the operator to monitor air pressure settings to maintain the correct psi.
    The modified pump was designed by Ingersoll Rand and works only with Monster Seal sealant.
    A 5-gal. pail sells for $299.95. The company also offers on-farm tire-filling service in limited areas.
