Every year, over 1.5 billion scrap tires burden our planet as industrial “black pollution” – with the US discarding 300 million units and EU recycling 4 million metric tons.

However, this growing environmental crisis hides a golden business opportunity: modern tire recycling production lines now convert discarded rubber into high-value commodities like rubber powder, steel wires, and pyrolysis oil. As global demand for sustainable manufacturing soars, innovative factories are leveraging cutting-edge tire recycling equipment to turn ecological challenges into profitable ventures.

Today we’ll explore how automated tire recycling lines work, their ROI potential, and why they’re becoming must-have systems for forward-thinking waste management enterprises.

What Raw Materials are Suitable for Waste Tire Recycling Lines?

The waste tire recycling line can efficiently process various types of waste tires (rubber materials). Then turning them into valuable or reusable products. Below are some suitable raw materials that can be processed through waste tire recycling line.

What is the Process of Waste Tyre Recycling Line?

Our waste tire recycling line includes a comprehensive array of specialized machines. This modular setup ensures that each stage of the recycling process is efficient, environmentally friendly, and produces high-quality output materials suitable for a range of applications.

shredder

Shredding Used Tires

Primary Shredder

Initial shredding of tires into strips or chunks.

Output Size: Typically reduces tires into strips or chunks ranging from 50-150mm in size.

Secondary Crusher

Further reduces the size of shredded pieces.

Crushing and Grinding Tyres

Waste tire crusher reduces tire fragments to smaller particles, typically measuring between 10-50mm, before the crusher pulverizes the shredded pieces into finer particles. High-speed rotating blades then grind the material into 10-20 mesh particles, while grinding wheels are used to achieve the desired consistency for further processing.

separator

Extraction and Separation of Tires

The steel wire separator extracts steel wires embedded in the tires.

Magnetic Separator

Utilizes magnetic forces to pull out steel wires and other ferromagnetic materials.

Airflow Separator

Uses airflow to segregate light fibers from heavier rubber particles. This step is crucial for achieving a high-quality, contaminant-free end product.

Controlling dust pollution during tyre recycling production line operation

The dust removal system ensures that the entire recycling process is clean and environmentally friendly.

Bag house Dust Collector

Captures dust through filtration bags.

Cyclone Dust Collector

Utilizes rotating airflow to separate dust particles from the air.
