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.
