Our fiber separator for tire recycling is a specialized purification system engineered for rubber powder production lines. Its core mission is to efficiently separate and remove the nylon and textile fibers commingled with rubber powder. As a critical step installed directly after the rubber powder mill, it elevates your rubber powder’s purity to a new level, ensuring the final product meets the highest quality standards. For any business dedicated to producing high-value, premium-grade recycled rubber powder, integrating a high-performance fiber separator is an essential investment.
The Importance of Fiber Separation
Scrap tires contain a significant amount of nylon or polyester fiber in their casing layers, in addition to rubber and steel. During the shredding and grinding processes, these fibers are broken down into fine, fluffy materials that mix with the rubber powder.
- Compromises Product Quality: If not removed, these fiber impurities can severely affect the performance of downstream products, reducing the strength, durability, and aesthetic quality of finished rubber goods.
- Limits Market Applications: Many high-value applications, such as modified asphalt and precision-molded products, have strict purity requirements for rubber powder. Material containing fiber fails to meet these market standards.
Our nylon fiber separator is the professional solution designed to solve this critical industry challenge.
Working Principle of Fiber Separator
Our fiber separator machine utilizes an advanced air classification principle in a fully automated and efficient process:
- Feeding: The rubber powder mixture, containing fiber impurities from the cracker mill, is transported through an enclosed pneumatic system into the main chamber of the separator.
- Air Classification: Inside the chamber, a precisely controlled cyclone of air is generated. Because rubber particles are denser and heavier, they fall by gravity and are discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the unit.
- Fiber Extraction: Simultaneously, the lightweight, low-density fiber contaminants are carried upward by the air current and drawn out of the chamber through a separate duct.
- Collection: The purified rubber powder and the separated fibers are directed into their respective collection systems (such as a cyclone collector or baghouse filter), achieving a clean and thorough separation of the two materials.
This process is not only highly efficient (typically over 99%) but also operates within a completely enclosed, negative-pressure system, which effectively controls dust and maintains a clean workshop environment.
Key Advantages & Features
- Superior Separation Efficiency: Specifically designed for the different physical properties of rubber and fiber, our machine removes the vast majority of fine fibers, significantly improving rubber powder purity.
- Seamless Integration: With a compact footprint, the unit can be easily integrated into new or existing rubber powder production lines, connecting perfectly with cracker mills and downstream bagging systems.
- Reliable Operation with Easy Maintenance: The machine contains no complex, easily worn parts, ensuring stable performance with minimal daily maintenance requirements, which guarantees continuous production.
- Increases Final Product Value: Producing a purer rubber powder allows you to access more demanding markets, giving you a stronger competitive edge and higher profit margins.
Position in the Rubber Powder Production Line
The fiber separator acts as the “quality control checkpoint” for the final product. In a complete tire recycling plant, its standard position is:
Tire Shredder → Rubber Cracker Mill → Fiber Separator → Final Bagging System
This process layout ensures that all major contaminants (steel and fiber) have been effectively removed before the final product is packaged.
