Suitable materials: Truck tires, car tires, motorcycle tires, waste rubber, etc.
Equipment functions: Shredding, granulation, grinding
Common uses: Rubber blocks of alternative-fuel, recycled rubber powder, pyrolysis oil refining
Technical process introduction:
Stage 1 – Shredding – The reduction of whole tires down to shreds or chips utilizing A Primary Shredder.
Stage 2 – Steel Liberation & Removal – Tire shreds from a Primary shredder are introduced to the Liberator which removes the steel wire from the rubber fraction. Further reduction of the shred into ground wire-free rubber feedstock is accomplished. Clean steel is separated for resale.
Stage 3 – Granulation – The Granulator can accept 25 mm wire-free crumb rubber and process it down to 4 mm rubber granulate. At this stage, screens are used to size the material and an air system is used to extract the fiber.
Stage 4 – Milling & Screening – The Dual Drive Crackermill will accept 4-8 mm crumb rubber and further process it into fine powders ranging from 10 to 80 mesh. The final stage in tire recycling, this stage produces clean rubber powder.
