Tire shredder YG series

Overview
Heavy-duty tire shredders are core equipment for industrial waste recycling and renewable energy production. Scrap tires typically contain 60%–70% rubber and 10%–15% high-tensile steel wire by weight. Dual-shaft, low-speed/high-torque shredders reduce stockpile volume and convert waste tires into marketable outputs such as Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF) chips, rubber granules for turf, or fine rubber powder.

How they operate
Tire shredders use high-torque shearing with replaceable cutter blades. Selection requires evaluating feed size, target capacity, and final application. Proper blade material and modular cutter design allow blade replacement or resurfacing and adaptation to different feedstocks (tires, pallets, hard plastics).

Applications

• Tire recycling & reclaimed rubber plants: Shear car tires, truck tires, and small OTR tires into uniform rubber chips for downstream steel separation and milling.
• Cement kilns & power plants (TDF): Produce 50–80 mm chips suitable as alternative fuel with high calorific value.
• Multi-material recycling facilities: Double-shaft units can also process wood pallets and bulk plastic by swapping blade thickness and tooth profile.
• Municipal waste facilities: Shear bulky items, cables, and drums to reduce transport and landfill volume.

Popular Models & Specifications Comparison (table)
Model | Suitable Feed Size | Capacity (t/h) | Main Power (kW) | Recommended Blade Material | Typical Application
YG-1000 | ≤14 inch car tires | 1.0–2.0 | 37 kW × 2 | 9CrSi alloy tool steel | Car tire rough shredding / entry level
YG-1200 | ≤16 inch car/light truck | 2.5–3.5 | 45 kW × 2 | Cr12MoV / SKD-11 | Workhorse for passenger tire plants
YG-1400/1600 | Heavy truck tires / pallets | 3.5–5.0 | 75 kW × 2 | Heavy alloy / SKD-11 | Heavy rubber / hard plastic / pallets

Key Selection Parameters

• Feed size & tire type: Car tires (under ~800 mm diameter) vs heavy truck tires (over ~1200 mm) require different chamber dimensions.
• Target hourly output: Small batch (≈1 t/h) vs continuous automated lines (5–8 t/h) affect housing strength and power.
• Required output size: Decide between 50–100 mm TDF chips, 3–28 mm granules, or 30–80 mesh powder for final application.
• Steel wire content: High bead wire or steel belts may require upstream debeading or downstream magnetic separation to reduce blade wear and improve product quality.

Operational & Maintenance Notes

• Dual-shaft, low-speed operation handles heavy impact and tough materials; PLC auto-reverse helps clear jams by reversing shafts briefly when high amp draw is detected.
• Blade strategy: 9CrSi steel for softer rubber / cleaner materials (cost-effective). Cr12MoV or SKD-11 for truck tires and dense timber provide better shock resistance and re-weldability.
• Modular cutter shafts permit replacing individual worn blades; SKD-11 blades support surface re-welding and regrinding (typically resurfaced 2–3 times before replacement).
