Tire Recycling Machine & Line
Turn end‑of‑life tires into high‑purity crumb rubber with automated steel & fiber separation — engineered for maximum yield, operator safety, and low energy per ton.
How It Works
Advanced multi‑stage process engineered for maximum recovery and product purity.
Primary Shredding
Twin‑shaft, low‑speed, high‑torque shredder reduces whole or debeaded tires to 50–150 mm strips. Hardened alloy cutters handle steel belts with ease. Pre‑processing options include Single Hook Tire Wire Debeading Machine and Waste Tire Cutting Machine to improve throughput and protect downstream blades.
Magnetic Separation
Overband magnet automatically lifts and removes liberated steel to protect downstream equipment and recover ferrous value.
Granulation
Rasper and granulator further reduce material to 10–20 mm chips and 1–5 mm granules with minimal heat build‑up for uniform feed.
Fiber Separation
Air‑classification removes textiles from rubber granules, increasing product purity to 95%+.
Precision Grading
High‑speed classifier wheel delivers consistent 30–120 mesh powder according to specification.
Automated Packaging
PLC‑controlled systems measure and bag final product for stable quality and efficient dispatch.

Key Components
Belt Conveyor
The Belt Conveyor is the primary material handling solution for transporting bulk materials reliably and efficiently throughout the tire recycling plant. It provides a continuous and automated transfer of whole tires, rough shreds, and rubber granules between various processing stages, such as from the Primary Shredder to the Granulator or to the magnetic separation stage. Engineered for durability in abrasive environments, our belt conveyors are essential for creating an integrated, streamlined, and high-throughput production flow.
Tire Shredder
The Primary Shredder is the heavy-duty workhorse of the recycling line, designed to break down whole or debeaded tires into large, manageable strips (typically 50–150mm). It utilizes a twin-shaft, low-speed, high-torque design with hardened alloy steel blades to powerfully slice and rip through the tough rubber and steel belts. This machine is the essential first stage of size reduction, producing uniform feedstock for the secondary processing line.
Overband Magnetic Separator
The Overband Magnetic Separator provides essential protection for the entire recycling line. Positioned over the conveyor belt, it uses a powerful electromagnet to automatically lift and remove tramp steel wire and other ferrous contaminants from the material flow. Its primary function is to safeguard downstream equipment, such as the Granulator and Rubber Miller, from severe damage, thereby preventing costly downtime and maintenance.
Double Roller Rubber Grinder
The Two-Roll Mill, also known as a cracker mill, is a heavy-duty machine used for the primary and secondary size reduction of tire shreds. It features two large, counter-rotating, grooved rollers that operate at different speeds (a friction ratio). This differential speed creates immense shearing and crushing forces, effectively tearing the rubber apart while efficiently liberating embedded steel wire. The machine produces a consistently sized rubber granule and is renowned for its extreme durability and high-throughput capabilities in the most demanding recycling environments.
Coarse Fiber Separator
The Fiber Separation System is a crucial purification unit designed to remove liberated textile and nylon fiber from the rubber granule stream. It operates on a principle of air classification, where a precisely controlled upward airflow lifts the lighter fiber particles away from the heavier rubber granules. This process significantly enhances the purity of the rubber, making it suitable for high-value applications and preparing it for the final grinding stage in the Rubber Miller.
Screw Conveyor (for Rubber Granules & Powder)
The Screw Conveyor provides an efficient, enclosed, and automated method for transferring rubber granules and fine powder between different processing stages. A rotating helicoid screw within a stationary trough or tube moves material horizontally or on an incline at a controlled rate. This system is essential for minimizing airborne dust, preventing material spillage and contamination, and ensuring a continuous, steady feed to the next machine in the line, such as the Rubber Miller or a bagging station.
Rubber Powder Grader (Air Classifier)
The Fine Powder Air Classifier is the final quality control stage, engineered for the precision grading of rubber powder from the Rubber Miller. It uses an adjustable, high-speed rotating classifier wheel combined with a controlled airflow to separate particles by size and mass. As material enters the chamber, fine particles meeting the desired mesh specification are carried by the airstream to the collection system. Coarser, oversized particles are rejected by the classifier and returned to the miller for further grinding. This highly accurate process ensures a final product of consistent, uniform particle size, meeting the exact specifications required by the market.
Rubber Powder Superfine Miller
The Superfine Powder Miller is an advanced grinding unit designed for producing high-value, micro-fine rubber powder (typically 80–200 mesh). It processes clean, pre-sized rubber powder from the standard miller, subjecting it to a high-speed milling action in a specialized grinding chamber. The machine often incorporates an internal air classification system and an integrated cooling mechanism to prevent rubber degradation from heat. The resulting superfine powder is a premium raw material sought after for sophisticated applications such as new tire compounds, modified asphalt, and industrial coatings.
PLC Auto Control System
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system is the central brain of the entire recycling line. It provides centralized control and real-time monitoring of all interconnected machinery from a single user-friendly interface. This integrated system optimizes throughput, ensures operational safety with automated shutdowns, and allows for precise adjustments to the entire process, guaranteeing maximum efficiency and consistent product quality.
Cooling System
The industrial Cooling System is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures in high-friction machinery like the Granulator and Rubber Miller. It circulates cooling water through the equipment to dissipate heat, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance during continuous, heavy-duty operation. This protects the equipment, preserves the quality of the rubber, and enhances overall plant safety.
