What are the ways to recycle tires?

Ambient mechanical grinding

In ambient mechanical grinding process, the breaking up of a scrap tire happens at ambient temperature. Tires are passed through a shredder, which breaks the tires into chips. The chips are fed into a granulator that breaks them into small pieces while removing steel and fiber in the process. Any remaining steel is removed magnetically and fiber through a combination of shaking screens and wind sifters. Finer rubber particles can be obtained through further grinding in secondary granulators and high-speed rotary mills.

Cryogenic grinding

Cryogenic grinding refers to the grinding of scrap tires at temperatures near minus 80oC using liquid nitrogen or commercial refrigerants. Cryogenic processing generally uses pre-treated car or truck tires as feedstock, most often in the form of chips or ambiently produced granulate.

When the tires are exposed to such low temperatures, they become brittle and can be easily crushed and broken. It can be a four-phase system which includes initial size reduction, cooling, separation, and milling. This process requires less energy than others and produces rubber crumb of much finer quality

 

Yuxi waste tire recycling machine is rare in the whole of the EU CE certification with a high standard of quality certification.

Our tire recycling machine can be based on customer requirements, recycling within the range of tires 400-3000 mm diameter, strong applicability, the size of the output material can be controlled in the range of 5-100 mm, production can reach 200-10000 kg/h.

The whole tyre recycling plant can effectively realize the automatic separation of rubber, steel wire, nylon fiber, and other materials, and has the characteristics of low energy consumption and long service life.
