The recycling of large Off-the-Road (OTR) tires has become a major challenge in the global rubber recycling industry due to their massive size, high steel content, and complex structure. To address this issue, the OTR tire recycling machine provides professional and efficient solutions for processing mining tires, earthmover tires, and heavy-duty industrial tires.
Our OTR tire recycling solutions are designed to break down these ultra-large tires into manageable materials such as steel, rubber blocks, rubber granules, and fine rubber powder, enabling full resource recovery and environmental sustainability.
We offer two main OTR tire recycling solutions, which can also be expanded into a complete rubber powder production line.
Solution 1: Wire Drawing Machine + Cutting Machine System
This solution is designed for preliminary processing of OTR tires, especially for removing steel and reducing tire size.
1. Wire Drawing Machine (OTR Debeader)
The OTR tire wire drawing machine is used to extract the thick steel bead wire from OTR tires. These steel rings are extremely strong and must be removed before further processing.
- Effectively pulls out steel bead wire from large OTR tires
- Reduces wear on downstream machines
- Improves safety and efficiency in tire cutting process
2. Tire Cutting Machine
After steel removal, the tire cutting machine is used to cut the whole tire into smaller sections.
- Cuts OTR tires into manageable blocks
- Prepares material for shredding or further processing
- Handles heavy-duty tire structures with high efficiency
This combination is ideal for customers who want a simple and stable pre-processing system before further recycling.
Solution 2: Tire Dismantling Machine + Steel Ring Separator System
This solution provides a more complete and integrated dismantling process for OTR tires.
1. Tire Dismantling Machine
The OTR dismantling machine is designed to break down large OTR tires into several parts.
- Separates tire tread, sidewall, and bead parts
- Reduces tire size efficiently
- Improves downstream processing speed
2. Steel Ring Separator
This tire wire removal machine is used to separate steel wires from rubber after dismantling.
- Separates steel rim or bead wire from rubber blocks
- Ensures cleaner rubber output
- Increases recycling value of both steel and rubber
This solution is suitable for customers who require a more automated and efficient OTR tire pre-processing line.
Further Processing Options: Shredding and Rubber Powder Production
Both OTR tire recycling machine solutions can be upgraded into a complete recycling line by adding downstream equipment:
Машина для измельчения шин
After pre-processing, the tire shredder can further reduce rubber into smaller pieces.
- Shreds tire blocks into 50–150mm rubber chips
- Prepares material for grinding process
- High torque design for heavy-duty rubber
Rubber Grinding Machine
This step, rubber granules can be processed into fine rubber powder.
- Produces 10–40 mesh rubber powder
- Steel and fiber separation system included
- Widely used for rubber tiles, mats, and reclaimed rubber production
Машина для разделения волокна
During the tire shredding and rubber grinding process, a certain amount of fiber impurities will remain in the rubber. The fiber separator machine is used to further improve the purity of rubber powder.
- Effectively separates nylon fibers from rubber materials
- Improves the purity of the final rubber powder
- Ensures the final product meets different application standards (such as rubber tiles and running track materials)
By adding a fiber separation system, the overall product quality and market value of the entire OTR tire recycling machine production line can be significantly improved.
Complete OTR Tire Recycling Machine Process Overview
A full OTR tire recycling machine production line may include:
- OTR tire pre-cutting or dismantling system
- Steel wire removal system
- Tire shredder machine
- Rubber granulator / cracker mill
- Magnetic separator (steel removal)
- Fiber separation system
This ensures maximum material recovery and minimizes waste.
Advantages of Our OTR Tire Recycling Machine Solutions
- Suitable for ultra-large mining and OTR tires
- High efficiency and stable performance
- Flexible configurations based on customer needs
- High recovery rate of rubber and steel
- Can be expanded into full rubber powder production line
Real Project Case: OTR Tire Recycling Machine in Indonesia
We recently received positive feedback from a customer in Indonesia who purchased our OTR tire recycling machine system, including the wire drawing machine and tire cutting machine.
The customer is using this equipment for processing large mining and construction tires, with sizes ranging from 2.7 meters to 4.2 meters in diameter. These ultra-large off-the-road tires are commonly used in heavy-duty mining trucks and engineering vehicles, which are difficult to handle without specialized equipment.
After installation at the customer’s site, both the wire drawing machine and tire cutting machine are now running successfully in daily production. The wire drawing machine efficiently removes the heavy steel bead wires, while the cutting machine quickly reduces the tire size for further recycling processes.
The customer also shared on-site working videos with us, showing stable machine performance and smooth operation during real production. This feedback confirms the reliability and effectiveness of our OTR tire recycling solution in demanding industrial environments.
Заключение
Whether you choose the wire drawing + cutting solution or the dismantling + steel separation solution, both systems provide reliable and efficient methods for processing large OTR tires. Combined with shredding and grinding equipment, they can form a complete recycling system for producing valuable rubber powder and reusable steel materials.
