Rubber recycling unit

wastemetaltire

Overview
Processes passenger car tires, truck tires, and other scrap tires into valuable rubber granules and recycled steel wire. Integrated shredding, steel separation, granulation, and packaging. High automation, stable output, and customizable capacities for different recycling requirements.

Enerpat - Tire Recycling Solutions
Millions of end-of-life tires are generated every year, containing recoverable materials including rubber and high-tensile steel wire. Recycled rubber can be used in sports surfaces, rubber mats, artificial turf infill, and asphalt modification, while recovered steel can be returned to the metal recycling market. Enerpat provides a complete solution for converting whole tires into reusable materials through shredding, steel separation, granulation, and packaging. The system is designed for stable operation, flexible capacity, and long-term recycling performance.

Tire Recycling Process

• Tire Shredding — Whole tires are fed into the first processing stage and reduced into smaller tire chips to create a manageable material size for downstream steps.
• Steel Wire Separation — Shredded tire material passes through separation processes where embedded steel wire is removed from the rubber; material size is further reduced during this stage.
• Rubber Granulation — The remaining rubber is processed into uniform granules. Different particle sizes can be produced depending on the intended application and market requirements.
• Material Collection & Baling — Finished rubber granules and recovered steel wire are collected separately for storage, transport, or sale; materials can be baled or packaged for onward reuse.

Final Products

• Rubber Granules — Clean, uniform granules with low steel contamination. Available in multiple particle sizes for applications such as sports surfaces, rubber mats, artificial turf infill, and asphalt modification.
• Recovered Steel Wire — High-recovery steel separated from the rubber stream with low rubber residue; suitable for baling and sale to metal recyclers.

Equipment Examples (typical components of the line)

• Double shaft shredder / twin-shaft shredder (reduces whole tires to chips)
• Tire wire separator / tire wire separation equipment
• Rubber granulator / rubber granulation system
• Magnetic separator (removes residual steel after granulation)
• Conveyor systems (material transfer and automated handling)
• Industrial baler (for baling recovered steel wire and other outputs)

FAQ (selected)

• What types of tires can be processed? Suitable for passenger car tires, truck tires, bus tires, and many other end-of-life tires; processing requirements may vary by tire size and structure.
• What is the final size of the rubber granules? Final particle size can be adjusted according to application requirements, commonly ranging from several millimeters down to finer granules used in sports surfaces, rubber products, and asphalt modification.
• Is pre-processing required? In most cases whole tires can be fed directly into the recycling process; depending on project needs additional preparation may be recommended to improve material handling and throughput.
• Can the line be customized? Yes. Equipment configuration, processing capacity, output size, plant layout, and automation level can be tailored to specific project goals and local requirements.
