Why tires pay as a line, not a shredder
A shredder alone makes chips that few buyers want. The value is in clean separation: rubber granules for sports surfaces and molded goods, rubber powder for asphalt and new rubber, recovered steel wire for scrap. The line — debeader, shredder, granulator, magnetic and fiber separation — is what turns a disposal problem into product.
Key parameters to define
- Tire types: car, truck, OTR, and whether steel-belted.
- Daily tire volume in tonnes and collection consistency.
- Target products: chips, granules (1–6 mm) or powder (30+ mesh).
- Purity requirements for your granule buyers.
- Local rules on tire storage and processing emissions.
Typical configuration ranges
| Stage | Function | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Debeading | Steel bead wire extraction | Truck tires and up |
| Shredding | Primary chips | 1–10 t/h tire input |
| Granulating | Rubber granules + steel/fiber separation | 1–6 mm output |
| Milling (optional) | Fine rubber powder | 30–80 mesh |
Ranges are indicative. Line layout follows tire mix and product targets.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Tire basis | What tire types and steel content is the line rated on? |
| Purity | Rubber purity and steel separation rate demonstrated? |
| Wear | Blade and screen life per tonne of tires processed? |
| Outputs | All three output streams sampled and photographed? |
| Scope | Conveyors, magnets, fiber separation and dust control included? |
