OTR Dismantling Machine
The OTR dismantling machine is a machine specially designed for the initial processing of large construction machinery tyres (OTR tyres). The machine efficiently breaks down the whole waste construction tyre into several parts, such as beads, treads, tops, etc., by cutting and separating them, thus facilitating subsequent shredding or recycling.
Disintegration Role and Application Range
Due to their large size and heavy structure, OTR tires cannot go straight into the shredding process. Therefore, using the OTR tire sidewall cutter to divide them into 4 to 6 structural units not only facilitates handling and stacking but also improves the efficiency and safety of subsequent crushing. This equipment is widely used in the recycling and reuse of tyres from mining, construction, and engineering vehicles.
This video demonstrates the operation of our two types of OTR dismantling machines, designed for efficiently processing different sizes of OTR tires.
Why Must OTR Tire Recycling Start with Dismantling?
OTR tires are massive, structurally robust, and contain rigid steel belts and bead wires. Feeding them directly into a tire shredder causes:
- Equipment Overload & Damage: The extreme load impacts the shredder’s spindle and cutter box, leading to frequent downtime and premature failure of core components.
- Low Production Efficiency: Whole tires are difficult to process and pose a high risk of jamming, severely limiting the throughput of your entire OTR tyre recycling plant.
- Uneven Output: Shredding whole tires directly makes it hard to control output size, creating challenges for the subsequent grinding process.
Key Benefits of Using the OTR Dismantling Machine
- Dramatically Protects Downstream Equipment: By pre-cutting the tires, it significantly reduces the load and wear on your tyre shredder and rubber cracker mill. This translates to less downtime, lower maintenance costs, and extended equipment life, directly protecting your investment.
- Boosts Overall Line Efficiency: Provides uniformly sized feed for the shredder, eliminating jamming risks and ensuring smoother material flow. This can increase the efficiency of your entire production line by up to 30% or more.
- Safer and More Controllable Operation: Compared to the hazardous process of handling whole tires, the dismantling is done in a controlled manner within the machine, greatly enhancing operational safety and simplifying material handling.
- Optimizes Final Product Profitability: Uniform feed stock results in more consistent chip and powder size after shredding and grinding, leading to higher product quality that can command a better price in the market.
Two Models of OTR Dismantling Machine
To meet the needs of different customers, we offer two models of OTR tire sidewall cutter:
1, Medium OTR Tire Dismantling Machine
Suitable for construction tires with a diameter of 1400mm – 2000mm, such as loaders, bulldozers, and other medium-sized construction vehicle tires.
2, Large OTR Tire Sidewall Cutting Machine(for R35-R63)
Suitable for oversized mining vehicle tires with diameters from 2100mm – 4000mm, such as R35, R49, R63 grade mining vehicle tires, with stronger disintegration capacity and more stable structure.
