Complete Tire-to-Rubber Powder Production Line
Solution: Complete Tire-to-Rubber Powder Production Line – Equipment Overview
A complete waste tire recycling production line transforms scrap tires into marketable rubber powder through a systematic, multi-stage process. The line integrates specialized equipment at each stage, from whole tire input to final bagged powder, with automated material handling between units.
Full Equipment List by Process Stage
| Stage | Equipment | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pre-treatment | Single Hook Debeader | Removes bead wire from tire rim |
| Whole Tire Cutter | Cuts whole tires into smaller strips or blocks for easier processing | |
| Strip Cutting & Dicing Machine | Further reduces strips into uniform blocks (approx. 50×50mm) | |
| 2. Primary Shredding | Double Shaft Shredder / Whole Tire Shredder | Primary shredding of tire blocks into 50–200mm chips; heavy-duty alloy steel knives, low-speed high-torque design |
| 3. Crushing & Steel Separation | Double-Roller Rubber Crusher Mill | Reduces 50mm chips to 10–15mm rubber granules; grooved/smooth rollers separate rubber from steel wire |
| Magnetic Separator (Primary) | Removes steel wire from crushed material via suspended or conveyor-mounted magnets | |
| 4. Screening & Recirculation | Vibrating Screen / Oscillating Screen | Classifies granules by size; oversized particles returned to crusher for secondary processing |
| 5. Fiber Separation | Fiber Separator | Removes nylon fibers and other light contaminants from rubber granules |
| 6. Fine Grinding | Fine Rubber Grinder / Pulverizer | Grinds 2–6mm granules into 10–120 mesh fine rubber powder |
| 7. Final Screening & Packaging | Vibrating Screen (Final) | Final classification of powder by mesh size |
| Weighing & Packing System | Automated weighing and bagging of finished rubber powder |
