Information

Feed to the primary shredder will depend upon the space available and any existing on site feed and storage equipment. Advanced Recycling Solutions can design and build feed hoppers and conveyors if required.

Rubber Chips Produced by Shredding Tyres

Tyres fed into the shredder will be reduced to a maximum particle size of 150mm. At which size the material is conveyed to a secondary shredder where it is reduced to a chip size of approximately 50mm. At this stage all material is conveyed to a rotating screen which sorts it into 4 sizes.

1. 0 to 15mm.
2. 20 to 35mm.
3. 40 to 85mm.
4. Above 85mm and returned for secondary re-shredding.

Material passed through screens 1 and 2 are conveyed past magnetic separators where steel is removed and the rubber product fed into holding bins.

Material through screen 3 is conveyed to granulator and reduced to 0 to 8mm. rubber and steel, conveyed to metal separation and to holding bins.

A Tyre Shredder with Bags to Catch Rubber Chips

This example considers material to be reduced to 3 rubber granule sizes and steel: Three shredders are required in series with conveyors transferring material. Shredder 1. Primary, 4 motors, 75mm cutters. Shredder 2. Secondary, 4 motors, 50 mm cutters. Shredder 3. Tail, 4 motors 25mm cutters. Material from shredder 3 is conveyed to a granulator where it is reduced to 0 to 8mm rubber and steel, conveyed to metal separation and to holding bins.
