Tire Recycling Machine
Process scrap passenger, truck, and off-road tires into crumb rubber, recovered steel, and separated textile fiber with a line configured around your feedstock and target output.
- Handles staged shredding, grinding, separation, grading, and conveying.
- Produces selectable rubber chip, granule, or powder sizes.
- Configured for capacity, floor space, power supply, and final-product needs.
Core Advantages of the Tire Recycling Machine
A coordinated line keeps material moving between size-reduction and separation stages while protecting downstream equipment.
Controlled Size Reduction
Shredding and grinding stages can be selected to produce tire chips, crumb rubber, or fine rubber powder.
Continuous Material Flow
Conveyors connect each machine and reduce manual material handling between process stages.
PLC Coordination
Central controls coordinate equipment status, interlocks, and emergency stops.
Serviceable Construction
Wear areas and routine maintenance points remain accessible for inspection and replacement.
Multiple Recovered Materials
The process separates rubber, steel wire, and textile fiber into distinct output streams.
Configurable Line Design
Equipment and layout can be matched to tire type, capacity, output size, and available space.
How a Tire Recycling Machine Works
A complete tire recycling machine uses several coordinated stages. The exact sequence changes with tire size and the required rubber product.
Inspection and Preparation
Operators identify tire type, remove unsuitable contamination, and prepare oversized tires for feeding.
Bead Removal
Heavy bead wire can be removed before shredding to reduce cutter wear and simplify downstream steel recovery.
Primary Shredding
A high-torque shredder reduces whole tires into manageable chips for controlled secondary processing.
Steel Liberation
Further size reduction frees embedded reinforcement wire from the surrounding rubber.
Magnetic Separation
Magnetic equipment removes liberated steel before the rubber enters finer grinding stages.
Fiber Separation
Airflow and cyclone equipment separate light textile fiber from the heavier rubber fraction.
Grading or Fine Milling
Screens classify crumb rubber by size, while an optional mill produces finer rubber powder when required.
Key Components of the System
The final equipment sequence depends on incoming tire size and the required rubber output.
Belt Conveyor
Transfers tire pieces and rubber material between processing stages for steady line operation.
Key parts: motor, speed reducer, heavy-duty belt, rollers, and frame.
Tire Shredder
Reduces debeaded whole tires into approximately 50 x 50 mm chips before downstream grinding and separation. For difficult feedstock, see our double-shaft shredder for tire recycling.
Key parts: high-torque drive, shredding blades, rotary screener, and transmission system.
Belt Iron Separator
Extracts liberated steel wire from shredded rubber to protect downstream machinery and improve rubber purity.
Key parts: magnet, motor, conveyor belt, and control cabinet.
Double Roller Rubber Grinder
Uses a controlled roller-speed difference to shear rubber chips into smaller, consistent granules. Cooling supports stable continuous operation.
Coarse Fiber Separator
Uses airflow and cyclone separation to remove nylon and textile fiber from rubber granules.
Key parts: suction inlet, fan, cyclone, and support frame.
LS Screw Conveyor
Moves rubber granules and powder through an enclosed path to reduce dust and material loss.
Key parts: motor, screw shaft, conveyor trough, and hopper.
Rubber Powder Grader
Classifies rubber powder by particle size under controlled airflow and negative pressure.
Key parts: variable-frequency motor, rotor, impellers, and adjustment plates.
Rubber Powder Superfine Mill
Produces fine rubber powder for applications such as modified asphalt, molded products, and selected coating compounds.
Key parts: mill, collector, fan, cyclone, and control cabinet.
PLC Automatic Control System
Provides centralized line control, operating-status monitoring, safety interlocks, and coordinated starts and stops.
Cooling System
Circulates cooling water through heat-generating equipment to maintain operating temperature during continuous production.
Key parts: cooling tower, pump, water tank, and circulation piping.
Compare Tire Recycling Machine Configurations
Start with the product you plan to sell. Output size and purity determine how many processing and separation stages the line needs.
Tire Chip Line
- Typical output
- Coarse tire chips or shreds.
- Main equipment
- Preparation equipment, primary shredder, screener, and conveyors.

- Operators supplying size-controlled tire chips or feedstock for further processing.
Crumb Rubber Line
- Typical output
- Graded rubber granules with recovered steel and separated textile fiber.

- Rubber flooring, molded products, sports surfaces, and other granule markets.
Fine Rubber Powder Line
- Typical output
- Fine, classified rubber powder.
- Main equipment
- Complete crumb line plus fine mill, collection, cooling, and powder grading.
- Suitable for
- Applications that specify a finer particle range, including selected asphalt and compound uses.
Recovered Materials and Applications
Output specifications should be agreed before equipment selection because particle size and purity determine the required process stages.
Crumb Rubber and Powder
Used in molded rubber products, sports surfaces, rubber mats, and selected asphalt-modification processes.
Recovered Steel
Magnetically separated bead and reinforcement wire can enter an appropriate scrap-metal recovery route.
Separated Textile Fiber
Air separation removes textile content from rubber. Reuse or disposal options depend on local requirements and material quality.
What Affects Tire Recycling Machine Price?
A useful quotation must define the complete production target rather than price a single machine in isolation.
Input Tire Type
Passenger, truck, agricultural, and OTR tires differ in diameter, weight, bead construction, and preparation needs.
Required Capacity
Hourly throughput changes machine size, motor selection, conveyor width, storage, and downstream separation capacity.
Final Particle Size
Fine powder requires more grinding, classification, cooling, and dust collection than coarse tire chips.
Separation Target
Higher rubber cleanliness may require additional magnetic and fiber-separation stages.
Automation and Safety
PLC scope, interlocks, monitoring, guarding, and emergency-stop design affect the electrical package.
Installation Scope
Shipping, commissioning, operator training, electrical standards, and local dust-control requirements affect the project total.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key points to confirm before planning a tire recycling line.
A tire recycling machine is a coordinated system that reduces scrap tires and separates rubber, steel, and textile fiber for reuse.
The line uses staged shredding, grinding, magnetic separation, fiber separation, grading, and conveying to produce clean recovered materials.
The line can be configured for passenger-car, truck, and off-road tires. Tire size, bead construction, contamination, and target output determine the required equipment.
Depending on the configuration, outputs can include tire chips, crumb rubber, fine rubber powder, recovered steel, and separated textile fiber.
A centralized PLC control system can coordinate conveyors and processing equipment, monitor operating conditions, and support interlocks and emergency stops.
Provide the tire types, desired capacity, required output size, available floor space, power supply, and local environmental requirements so the line can be sized correctly.
Price depends on tire size, hourly capacity, required output size, separation stages, automation, dust control, electrical standard, and installation scope.
OTR tires require a configuration selected around tire diameter, weight, bead construction, and desired output. Large tires may need dedicated cutting or pre-shredding equipment.
