Technical Training
Training by Accella Tire Fill Systems’ Technical Department is
essential to any successful flatproofing operation. All flatproofing
technicians need to go through our certification process which
includes training videos, demonstrations, hands-on practice and
a short quiz. All certified technicians will receive a wall plaque
and uniform patches. (photo 6a)
Floor Space
The volume of your business determines the amount of space
required. Space must be provided for:
• pumping area
• tires and materials storage
• a temperature-controlled curing area
The minimum space required is 400 square feet (37 square
meters), approximately the dimensions of a residential double
garage. This area should be well lit, well ventilated, and heated
(if necessary) to maintain a minimum of 72° F (22° C).
