THE RECYCLING LINE CONSISTS OF:

DE – BEADING

The production process from which results the first separation of metals from only truck tires.

This stage of treatment is economically important, because it abundantly reduces the wear of the primary process, the plants downstream.

The operation on the system requires only one person.

In automatic mode, the system raises the tire, centers the tire, removes steel, the same tire in the output position, without the operator retrieving the tire by hand.

This operation is carried out in a time interval which varies from 80 to 100 seconds and then the operator of the machine during the 8 working hours is engaged only for 30% of the time.

The only machine of its kind, automatically recognizes the diversity of tires ensuring a larger performer performing efficiency 90%.

 

Installed powder

15 kW, 400 v, 50 Hz

Production

> 25 tires per hour x kg65 = kg/h 1625

Maintenance spare parts

4000 ton

SHREDDING

The automatic shredding module is managed by a single operator.

-With this production process the first significant reduction of the tire to a measurement of <100×100 mm.

-The product obtained (the pre-shredded tire) has specific technical characteristics, as already at the end of this phase can be used, without further processing, on the recovery of the market, as well as to improve subsequent processing steps

-Our High Manufacturing Technology allows us to have a clean and smooth cut and a larger constant production to other manufacturers, this is highly appreciated by cement plants.

– save energy: our system at the forefront of tire recovery in the form of a ‘tire shred’, saves you every year, with a reference output of 15,000 tons / year, for about 150,000 kW / h, of the latest generation of machines on the world market.

Cost -Low maintenance: the construction of the whole grinding body, devoid of any welding and of superior cross-section, reduces the consumption of the moving parts and facilitates the accessibility to the organs of the movement by the operators

– To guarantee the maximum efficiency of the machines, the composition of tyres at the loading point must be 1 truck tyre for each 5-8 car tyres.

GRINDING PROCESS

The GRINDER module is the most difficult phase of tire treatment.

This phase reduces the size of  shred tire (<100×100 mm) to a 0-18 mm granulometry

The machine’s production is determined by the size of the input material and the size of the grid holes The larger the grid hole size, the greater the production capacity.

Technological innovation mainly concerns the design of the rotor; Which allows to increase production yield and keep the heat treatment balance below 50 ° C,

Avantages:

-A low running cost

– It does not need cooling water

– Less wear on moving parts

-Long life of the machine itself

– Cost Management

 Reduced maintenance costs

REFINER

It is the chip reduction volume phase coming from the granulation phase

Using the principle of volumetric reduction from this machine, the separation of textile fibers is obtained.

The product thus obtained, with a small amount of textile fibers, is highly sought after by the market for its high quality. It is what we realized by installing a grid equal or less than 4 mm.

Refiner is the heart of all the production of the module:

The precision of the cutting section allows for obtaining a product with appropriate surface requirements and an excellent separation of the textile fiber.

The rotor’s design is innovative and unique. Its technology provides the benefit of increasing processing performances while maintaining heat (processing temperature) below 50°C

Our innovative engineering technology provides our Refiner module with high efficiency and maximise its performances, giving possibility to process and transform 20 mm chips directly into a clean granule (<2.5 mm) in only one cycle
