Tire Processing Machine Case Study: 5–6 TPH Tire Recycling Solution for Australian Customer
This case study introduces a customized tire processing machine solution for an Australian customer, designed to process passenger and truck tires under 1200mm into blocks smaller than 10cm. The complete line, including a dual-side bead pulling machine, tire cutter, and shredder, achieves a stable capacity of 5–6 tons per hour.
Tire processing machine solutions are essential for efficient scrap tire recycling, especially when handling mixed passenger car and truck tires. Recently, we completed a customized tire recycling project for a customer from Australia who required a complete system to process tires under 1200mm in diameter into blocks smaller than 10cm.
This blog shares the details of the project, the equipment configuration, and how our team provided a tailored solution based on the customer’s actual production needs.
Customer Requirements: Clear Goals for Tire Size and Capacity
The Australian customer mainly handles:
- Passenger car tires
- Truck tires
- Tire diameter ≤ 1200mm
Their goal was to:
- Remove the steel bead wires from both sides of the tire
- Cut and shred the tires into blocks smaller than 10cm
- Achieve a processing capacity of 5–6 tons per hour
After several rounds of detailed communication, our sales manager Sunny fully understood the material characteristics, target output size, and expected production capacity. Based on this information, we designed a practical and efficient tire processing machine solution.
Customized Tire Processing Machine Configuration
To meet the customer’s production target, we configured the following production line:
Double Hook Double-sided Wire Drawing Machine
The customer specifically requested that steel bead wires from both sides of the tire be removed simultaneously to improve efficiency.
We recommended our double hook dual-side tire debeader machine, which:
- Pulls out steel bead wires from both sides at the same time
- Improves working efficiency
- Reduces manual labor intensity
- Prepares the tire for easier cutting and shredding
Removing the steel bead wires is a critical first step in any tire processing machine line, as it protects downstream equipment and improves overall system stability.
Tire Cutting Machine
After bead wire removal, the whole tire still needs to be reduced in size before entering the shredder.
The tire cutting machine:
- Cuts the tire into smaller sections
- Makes feeding into the shredder easier
- Improves shredding efficiency
- Reduces load pressure on the tire shredder
This step ensures smooth and continuous operation of the entire production line.
Tire Shredder
The final stage is shredding. Our tire shredder machine:
- Processes pre-cut tires into blocks smaller than 10cm
- Achieves the target output size required by the customer
- Supports a production capacity of 5–6 tons per hour
- Operates stably for continuous industrial production
After shredding, the finished rubber blocks can be used for further processing, such as rubber granule production, pyrolysis, or other recycling applications.
Factory Visit and Order Confirmation
Before placing the order, the Australian customer visited our factory for an on-site inspection. During the visit, they:
- Observed the tire processing machine in operation
- Checked equipment structure and build quality
- Confirmed technical parameters and production details
- Discussed installation and after-sales service
After fully confirming the equipment configuration and project details, the customer placed the order with confidence.
