Industrial Tire Shredders for Rubber Recycling

Tire Recycling Shredder Description

The T-series Industrial Tire Recycling Shredders are single-shaft shredder is specially designed to process complete or pre-shredded tires. It features a 750 mm diameter hard-faced rotor with special knives and wear plates made of highly wear-resistant steel. The shredder is available in rotor widths from 1500 mm to 3000 mm. They are driven by twin gear drives with oversized outboard bearings. The tangential infeed ensures optimal feeding of the tires while eliminating the need for a hydraulic feeding system. The T-series differ from our other shredders in the number of stator knives and the screen sizes used. Its modular design makes it easy to integrate the shredder into existing installations.

Tire Recycling Applications

The T-series shredder with its single row of stator knives is used to pre shred complete car tires or large pieces of pre-processed truck tires down to a size of approximately 150 mm. The twin rows of stator knives and screen enable the shredder to process the tire shreds down to any required size >20 mm. The shredder’s unique design and variable cutting gap create an optimal separation of rubber and steel when paired with a 20 mm screen. As a result, the steel can be removed easily with magnetic separation equipment in following processes. The shredder can be used in the processing of RDF and other alternative fuel applications as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Industrial Tire Recycling Shredder?

An Industrial Tire Recycling Shredder is a heavy-duty machine designed to process complete or pre-shredded tires into smaller, manageable pieces for recycling. Virtus Equipment’s T-Series Shredders efficiently separate rubber and steel, creating high-quality output for further processing or reuse.

The T-Series Shredders feature a large 750 mm diameter rotor, proprietary knife design, and wear-resistant steel construction for maximum durability. They deliver high throughput rates, low maintenance requirements, and superior separation of steel and rubber, making them ideal for demanding tire recycling operations.

The T-Series uses a variable knife gap and optimized cutting design to effectively separate steel and rubber during shredding. When paired with a 20 mm screen, the resulting material allows for easy magnetic separation of steel in downstream processes, improving recycling efficiency.

Key advantages include:

  • High throughput capacity for efficient tire processing
  • Compact, heavy-duty design for industrial environments
  • Easy maintenance and quick tool change
  • Precise steel and rubber separation
  • Energy-efficient twin gear drives
