Do tyres need to be shredded before being processed in the tyre recycling line?
No, the tyre recycling line will process the tyres as a whole, from input waste tyres to the final output.
What sizes of tyres can your waste tyre recycling line handle?
All sizes of tyres can be handled, including those from cars, trucks, and heavy equipment.
What are the stages of tyre recycling?
- The first step is to use a debeader to remove the steel wire from both sides of the tyre.
- The second step is primary shredding, which breaks the tyre into rubber chips of about 50x50 mm.
- The third step is secondary shredding, which further crushes the rubber into granules smaller than 10 mm.
- The fourth step is to perform pyrolysis on the rubber powder.
What are the products of tyre recycling?
The products of tyre recycling include tyre chips, rubber granule, rubber powder, steel wire, and textile fluff.
What is recycled rubber?
Recycled rubber is rubber that is recovered from waste materials such as old tyres. The use of recycled rubber provides an innovative way to reduce waste while solving a range of problems, such as producing flexible running tracks that are durable and reduce the risk of injury to athletes.
What exactly is being made out of recycled rubber?
Recycled rubber has a wide range of applications, such as:
- Agriculture: Vegetation protectors and windbreaks, sheds, livestock mats, bumpers, and feeders - increasing yield and efficiency for the agricultural sector.
- Sports: Infill for synthetic turf fields, indoor and outdoor running tracks, and fitness mats - broadening sports and fitness opportunities.
- Playground Surfaces: Mulch and mats - cushioning children's falls.
- Infrastructure: Rubberized asphalt on roadways - providing surface durability while lessening traffic noise, molded products such as railroad ties.
Because of its wide range of applications, investing in waste tyre recycling projects is promising.
What are the benefits of recycling rubber?
There are many benefits to recycling rubber, most of which are related to the environment. Some of the main advantages are:
- Reducing the accumulation of waste rubber in the natural environment and the damage it causes. Recycling can have a more positive impact on the environment.
- By using recycled rubber, the demand for natural rubber can be reduced, helping to conserve natural rubber resources.
Why should we be recycling scrap tyres?
Due to their large quantity, traditional disposal methods for scrap tyres involve mass dumping in landfills, causing significant pollution and wastage. Now, through the use of rubber tyre recycling equipment, sturdy waste tyres can be processed to manufacture new tyres, rubber surfaces for playgrounds, artificial turf, etc., reducing the risk of waste pollution and lowering carbon emissions.
What is crumb rubber?
Crumb rubber is a granular recycled rubber particle made from repurposed tyres. Scrap rubber tyres undergo a cleaning and grinding process to produce a material with the same chemical composition as rubber used in our daily lives. The concentrated sponge-like particles are ideal for filling surfaces and playgrounds.
What are some innovative ways tyres can be recycled?
Currently, there are at least 100 products containing recycled tyre rubber. Besides common sports surfaces and artificial turf projects, some countries are beginning to incorporate rubber into asphalt for highways, providing a more durable and effective rubber recycling solution.
What is the status of scrap tyre rubber used in highways?
Many countries around the world are studying the feasibility of using scrap tyre rubber in highways. In the United States, this technology has been extensively used in numerous highway projects, incorporating recycled rubber into asphalt. Rubberized asphalt pavement offers lower lifecycle costs compared to other traditional types.
What is rubber tyre pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis is the process in which tyres are subjected to controlled high temperatures, resulting in the production of steel, oil, and carbon black.
What are the output materials in tyre recycling and pyrolysis?
Standard rubber processing technologies can produce three types of recycled materials:
- Tyre rubber
- Liberated steel wire
- Synthetic textile
What is TDF?
TDF stands for Tyre Derived Fuel, in which rubber is used to replace or complement other fuel sources in manufacturing facilities such as paper mills, cement kilns, boilers, or waste incinerators.
