<p>A buffing apparatus for production of a retreaded tire that can reliably prevent the scatter of buffing swarf from the buffing of tire periphery by creating no gap with the tire periphery regardless of the tire width and the movement of a grinder along the tire width. The buffing apparatus also allows smooth transfer of the tire after the buffing operation. The buffing apparatus for production of a retreaded tire includes a grinder facing the tire and buffing its periphery, upper and lower scatter shields disposed about the grinder, spaced apart from each other in the tire radial direction, and coming in contact with the tire, and left and right scatter shields spaced apart from each other in the tire width (axial) direction and coming in contact with the tire. The left and right scatter shields are of such design as to be turnable from predetermined initial positions outward in the axial directions of the tire.</p> |
