Methods and systems are contemplated in which elastomer materials can be processed into flatproofing materials which may be used to produce flatproofed tires. A elastomer material can be extruded through an extrusion die to produce two or more elastomer chunks. These elastomer chunks can be ground into a granulated material, which may comprise a flatproofing material to be used to fill a tire. Air in the tire may escape through a hole in the tire, and this air can be guided through a vent wherein an air flow meter can measure the air's flow rate. If the measured air flow rate drops below a threshold value, the process of filling the tire with the flatproofing material can be ceased. The tire can be investigated, after which the tire may be further filled with the flatproofing material before sealing the hole in the tire to produce the flatproofed tire.
