Our heavy-duty OTR tire debeader machine is the cornerstone solution for recycling large-scale off-the-road (OTR) tires, providing a powerful and efficient method for extracting the high-tensile steel bead wire. For any serious OTR tire recycling plant, pre-processing these giant tires by removing the tough inner steel ring is not just recommended—it’s essential for protecting downstream equipment and maximizing the value of recycled materials.
The Challenge of Recycling OTR Tires
Off-the-road tires, used in mining, construction, and agricultural heavy equipment, are engineered for extreme durability. Their bead wires—thick bundles of high-strength steel—are significantly larger and tougher than those in standard truck tires. Attempting to shred these tires whole can cause catastrophic damage to expensive tire shredder blades, leading to costly downtime and repairs. This is where a specialized machine for removing steel wire from OTR tires becomes indispensable.
Product Overview: 4-Meter OTR Tire Debeader Machine
Our 4-meter OTR tire debeader is specifically designed to handle the immense challenge of pulling bead wires from tires ranging from 1800mm to 4000mm in diameter. Its robust construction and powerful hydraulic system ensure reliable and consistent performance in the most demanding environments.
Key Features & Advantages:
- Powerful Hydraulic System: Equipped with a 22+3 kW power unit, the machine generates enormous pulling force, effortlessly extracting even the most stubborn bead wires without pre-cutting the tire.
- Wide Processing Range: Capable of handling a vast range of tire sizes, from 1800mm up to 4000mm, making it a versatile solution for facilities that process various types of heavy equipment tires.
- High Efficiency: With a cycle time of approximately 2 minutes per pull, this machine significantly boosts the throughput of your entire recycling line, ensuring a steady flow of debeaded tires ready for the next stage.
- Durable and Robust Construction: Weighing 9500kg, our OTR tire debeader is built from heavy-gauge steel to withstand the immense forces involved in the debeading process, guaranteeing a long service life and a high return on investment.
- Protects Downstream Equipment: By removing the steel bead wire first, you drastically reduce wear and tear on your primary shredders, extending their lifespan and lowering overall maintenance costs.
Working Principle of the OTR Tire Debeader Machine
This tyre debeader utilizes powerful hydraulic force to forcibly pull the thick steel wire out from the bead of an OTR tire. The specific workflow is as follows:
- Tire Positioning: Using equipment such as a forklift or crane, the giant OTR tire to be processed is placed in the operating position in front of the machine.
- Hooking Operation: The operator passes the machine’s robust, specialized hook through the opening in the main body and securely latches it onto the inner bead wire of the tire.
- Hydraulic Pulling: The hydraulic system is activated, and the high-power cylinder begins to work, generating immense pulling force that causes the hook to retract.
- Wire Separation: Under this immense pulling force, the entire steel bead ring is completely pulled out from the tire rubber, achieving a thorough separation of the steel and the rubber.
The entire process is efficient and direct, requiring no pre-cutting of the tire, making it the critical first step in processing large-scale tires.

Increase the Value of Your Recycled OTR Tires
Adding this OTR tire debeader machine to your tire recycling plant is a smart choice. It makes the following work simpler and helps you to completely separate the steel wire and rubber from the tire. This way, you get two clean materials:
- High-Quality Steel Scrap: The extracted bead wire is a valuable recyclable metal.
- Clean Rubber: The debeaded tire is easier to shred, resulting in cleaner rubber material suitable for TDF (Tire Derived Fuel) or further processing into rubber mulch and crumb rubber.
Whether you are starting a new OTR tire recycling facility or looking to upgrade your existing heavy equipment tire disposal process, our OTR tire debeader machine is the reliable, powerful, and efficient solution you need.
