OTR waste tire recycling line processes large mining tires

Waste Tire Recycling Line | OTR Tire Recycling Solution

The waste tire recycling line is specially designed to process oversized industrial and mining tires (OTR tires), which are typically difficult to handle due to their large size and high steel content. This waste tire recycling system offers two tailored solutions based on the tire diameter, ensuring efficient size reduction and high-purity rubber powder output up to 99%.

  • Suitable for OTR tires with diameters from 1800 mm to 4000 mm.
  • The purity of the rubber powder can reach 99%.
  • Customized solutions are available.

Types of Tires Suitable for This Waste Tire Recycling Line

This industrial tire recycling system is suitable for processing:

  • Construction machinery tires
  • Mining dump truck tires
  • Loader and bulldozer tires
  • Large agricultural machinery tires
  • Other industrial tires with large diameters and high steel content

Different pre-treatment solutions can be selected based on tire size and structure to improve processing efficiency and reduce equipment wear.

How the OTR Waste Tire Recycling Line Works

Our OTR waste tire recycling line implements a comprehensive process to transform large industrial tires into valuable rubber products. The system handles tires ranging from 1800mm to 4000mm in diameter, which are too large for standard tire recycling equipment.

  1. OTR Tire Pre-treatment ( Debeader Step): The process begins with the OTR debeader, which extracts the heavy steel bead wires from the tire sidewalls. This step is critical because OTR tires contain extremely strong steel reinforcement that would damage downstream equipment.
  2. Tire Dismantling: After bead wire removal, the OTR dismantling machine cuts the tire into manageable sections for further processing.
  3. Primary Shredding: The tire sections are fed into the tire shredding machine, which reduces them to rubber blocks of approximately 50-100mm in size.
  4. Steel Wire Separation: The OTR tire steel wire separator removes residual steel wires from the rubber blocks, improving material purity.
  5. Fine Grinding: The cleaned rubber blocks are processed through the rubber crusher machine to produce rubber granules or powder of the desired mesh size.
  6. Magnetic and Fiber Separation: The fiber separator and magnetic separation systems ensure final rubber powder purity reaches 99%.

This waste tire recycling line configuration can be customized based on your capacity requirements and the specific types of OTR tires you process.

Final Products and Particle Size Options

After processing through the waste tire recycling line, the following products can be obtained:

  • Rubber chips (5-10mm)
  • Rubber granules (1-5mm)
  • Rubber powder (20-40 mesh and finer)

Common particle size ranges include:

  • 5–10 mm (coarse granules for rubber tiles)
  • 1–5 mm (medium granules for sports surfaces)
  • 20–40 mesh and finer rubber powder (for modified asphalt)

Magnetic separation and fiber removal systems can be integrated to reduce steel and fiber content, ensuring high-purity rubber powder.

Applications of Recycled Rubber Products

Rubber granules and rubber powder produced by the waste tire recycling line are widely used in:

  • Rubber floor tiles and mats
  • Sports surfaces and artificial turf infill
  • Modified asphalt for roads and highways
  • Reclaimed rubber products
  • Anti-vibration pads and sound insulation materials
  • Industrial rubber product manufacturing

Further downstream processing can significantly increase the added value of recycled OTR tires. Our company provides relevant rubber tile making machines, and if you need them, we can also provide you with the details.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) of The Waste Tire Recycling Line

What Is the Difference Between an OTR Tire Recycling Line And a Passenger Car Tire Recycling Line?

A: OTR tires are much larger (1800-4000mm) and contain significantly more steel than passenger car tires. They require stronger pre-treatment equipment including heavy-duty debeaders and specialized shredding systems that standard tire recycling lines cannot handle directly.

Can I Purchase Only Part of the Equipment?

A: Yes. Customers can purchase individual machines such as the OTR debeader, tire shredder, or rubber grinding machine according to their existing setup. We can also provide complete turnkey solutions for new projects.

What Rubber Powder Purity Can Be Achieved?

A: With proper magnetic separation and fiber removal systems integrated into our waste tire recycling line, rubber powder purity can reach over 99%, depending on the required particle size specification.

Can The Processing Capacity Be Customized?

A: Yes. We offer multiple equipment models suitable for small to large-scale OTR tire recycling projects. Capacity can range from 1 ton to 10+ tons per hour depending on your specific requirements.

What Types of OTR Tires Can This Line Process?

A: Our waste tire recycling line can handle construction machinery tires, mining dump truck tires, loader and bulldozer tires, large agricultural tires, and other industrial tires with diameters between 1800mm and 4000mm.

What Is the Typical ROI for an OTR Tire Recycling Project?

A: ROI varies based on raw material costs, labor, and local rubber powder market prices. However, many OTR tire recycling operations achieve payback within 2-3 years due to the high value of recovered steel and rubber powder. Contact us for a detailed cost-benefit analysis.
