Tyre-derived shreds (TDS) are the primary chips obtained from scrap tyres of various sizes. These initial shreds are produced when the whole tyre or pre-cut chips are fed into and discharged from the primary shredder. Typically, these shreds measure between 2 to 6 inches in size, although their dimensions may vary after the initial shredding process. Further processing can be conducted to achieve smaller sizes.
The primary TDS shreds consist of steel wires, fibers, and rubber. Processors have the option to sell these shreds to buyers or continue processing them to obtain other material outputs.
TDS shreds find diverse applications, including as fuel additives and in civil engineering projects. The designation of TDS shreds may vary depending on their intended use. For example, shreds intended for combustion and energy production are often referred to as "TDF" or "Tyre-Derived Fuel" due to their high calorific value.
- Cement manufacturing (TDF)
- Pulp and paper production (TDF)
- Civil engineering applications (TDA)
- Other power and industrial sectors
- Economical alternative solutions to raw material
- Effective thermal insulation and shock absorption properties
- Suitable for small and large-scale projects
- Reducing tyre landfilling and environmental pollution
Manufacturers seeking TDS solutions are encouraged to reach out to us for tailor-made tyre recycling lines! A scrap tyre recycling line is capable of conducting the initial shredding of scrap tyres to generate TDS, signifying the primary shredding phase. These TDS generally comprise components like rubber, steel wires, and fibers extracted from the tyres.
