Tire Shredding Machine
Tire shredding machine is a core machine in tire recycling lines, used to shred steel-free or pre-cut tyres into 50–100mm rubber blocks for further grinding and steel separation. It helps produce cleaner rubber granules or powder, widely used in recycled rubber, mats, and runways.
Main Functions & Applications
The core function of a scrap tire shredder is to effectively shred large, high-strength waste tyres into rubber blocks of controlled size for subsequent processing. It is suitable for small car tyres, truck tyres, and OTR tyres after removing the steel rim.
The video shows the tire shredding machine in action, efficiently shredding waste tires into uniform rubber blocks for further recycling.
Advantages of The Scrap Tire Shredder
- Wide Application: Suitable for various sizes of tires, including small tires and large OTR tires.
- High Efficiency: Single machine capacity ranges from 2 tons/hour to 20 tons/hour.
- Customizable Screen: Screen mesh can be customized to control output size.
- Robust Structure: Blades are made of high-strength alloy steel; the frame is sturdy and built to last.
Structure and Working Principle of Tire Shredding Machine
The tyre shredder consists of the following main parts:
- Feeding Hopper: Used to load tire materials.
- Motor and Transmission System: Provide stable power for shredding.
- Shredding Chamber and Blades: Responsible for tearing and cutting the tires.
- Circular Screen: Screens rubber blocks that meet the required size.
- Heavy-Duty Frame: Ensures the machine runs smoothly and is durable.
Tire Shredding Machine Working Process: Tires are conveyed into the feeding hopper. Once the motor is started, the transmission system drives the blade shafts to rotate at high speed, shredding the tires into smaller pieces.
Rubber blocks that meet the required size are discharged through the circular screen and move to the next processing step. Oversized pieces remain in the shredding chamber for further processing until they meet the desired size. The aperture of the circular screen can be customized according to customer requirements to achieve different output sizes.
Integrated Rubber Powder Production Line
Is your ultimate goal to transform waste tires into high-value rubber powder or granules? Our tire shredding machine is the core unit for building an efficient production line. It can be seamlessly integrated with a range of pre-treatment and further processing equipment to form a complete, automated rubber powder production line:
Pre-treatment Stage: First, tyres are dismantled using equipment such as tire debeaders, cutting machines, and steel wire separators to remove steel wires and tyre beads, preparing them for efficient shredding.
Core Shredding Stage: The processed tire blocks are fed into our tire shredding machine and are crushed into uniform small pieces, which is the ideal feedstock for subsequent grinding.
Fine Grinding Stage: The shredded rubber chips are conveyed to a rubber powder mill and pulverized into rubber powder of various fineness levels , ready for market sale or further processing.
