A customer from South Africa needed to process waste tires with diameters below 1.2 meters. According to the customer’s raw material requirements, we provided a simple tire recycling solution equipped with a 1200 double hook tire wire drawing machine and a model 1000 tire shredder.
This configuration is suitable for handling passenger car tires and some smaller truck tires. By removing the steel wire before shredding, the system can reduce wear on the shredder blades and improve the overall shredding efficiency.
Customer Requirements
The customer mainly wanted to process used tires with diameters under 1200 mm. Their goal was to reduce the tire size for easier transportation and further recycling.
Based on the customer’s requirements, The tire recycling solution we recommend to our customers is configured as follows:
- 1200 double hook tire wire drawing machine
- 1000 model tire shredder
This combination is commonly used in the initial stage of tire recycling lines.
1200 Double Hook Tire Debeader Machine
Removing Steel Wire from Waste Tires
Before shredding, the tire beads containing thick steel wire are removed by the tire debeader. This process helps protect the shredder blades and reduces maintenance costs.
The 1200 double hook tire wire drawing machine is suitable for tires below 1.2 meters in diameter. The machine uses two hooks to pull out the steel wire from both sides of the tire bead area.
Main Features
- Suitable for waste tires below 1200 mm
- Double hook structure for stable pulling
- Reduces wear on shredding equipment
- Simple operation and maintenance
1000 Tire Shredder
Shredding Tires into Smaller Rubber Pieces
After the steel wire is removed, the tires enter the 1000 tire shredding machine for size reduction. The shredder cuts the tires into smaller rubber blocks, which can be used for further processing or transportation.
The shredder is designed with strong blades and a stable transmission system, making it suitable for continuous tire recycling work.
Application of Shredded Rubber
The shredded tire pieces can be further processed into:
- Rubber granules
- Rubber powder
- Fuel material
- Playground or paving materials
Simple Tire Recycling Solution Process
Basic Working Flow
The complete processing flow for this South African customer is as follows:
Step 1: Tire Bead Wire Removal
The double hook wire drawing machine removes the steel wire from the tire beads.
Step 2: Tire Shredding
The 1000# tire shredder cuts the tires into smaller rubber blocks.
Step 3: Further Recycling
The shredded rubber can be transported or processed into finer rubber products depending on the customer’s needs.
Why This Tire Recycling Solution Configuration Was Chosen
Matching the Customer’s Tire Size
Since the customer mainly processes tires below 1.2 meters, the 1200 model wire drawing machine is suitable for the raw materials.
The 1000# tire shredder also provides a practical capacity for medium-scale tire recycling projects.
Reducing Equipment Wear
Removing the steel wire before shredding helps extend the service life of the shredder blades and improves working stability.
Conclusion
This South African tire recycling project uses a practical combination of a double hook tire debeader machine and a tire shredder to process waste tires below 1.2 meters.
The solution is suitable for customers who need basic tire size reduction and preliminary recycling. With simple operation and stable performance, the equipment can help improve waste tire recycling efficiency and prepare materials for further processing.
