Atlas Copco’s nitrogen filling systems for tyre safety
Mine sites traditionally use compressed air for filling the tyres of haul trucks and other mining vehicles. Atlas Copco nitrogen generators are an effective alternative to the conventional compressed air or bottled gas options.
Tyre-related issues are often the culprit for mining vehicle accidents such as explosions caused by lightning strikes or high temperature degradation. We believe that to reduce the likelihood of these accidents, it’s not just about the tyre or how you use it, but also what you put in it.
Using compressed air to fill tyres can accelerate wheel rust and corrosion due to the high water vapour content and 18-20 per cent oxygen molecules within the compressed air.

Unlike compressed air, Atlas Copco’s nitrogen filling for tyres can be customised to achieve purities from 95-99.999 per cent and causes far less corrosion.
Nitrogen escapes through the inner liner or tube of the tyre at a slower rate than compressed air because of its larger molecular structure, which reduces the risk of deflation and unnecessary sources of heat.
Product manager Sonik Barot says tyres filled with nitrogen can take up to six months to lose 0.14 kilopascals of pressure compared with just one month with compressed air.
“Nitrogen purity leads to reduced corrosion, as unlike air, there is no moisture in pure, dry nitrogen,” Barot tells Safe to Work.
