Better Options for Waste Tires Than Landfills

Posted by eaecoeaeco on June 1st, 2019

Recycling tires can be a challenge, given the nature of the composition of the tire, and the need to find uses for all of the components. By their nature, they are bulky, potentially polluting, and take up a lot of space in a landfill. Securing a waste tire recycling machine and "disassembling" tires can go a long way to significantly alleviating the potential problems they create. Read this blog to find out more about these machines and their benefits.

Uses for Waste Tires

It is surprising what can be done with properly recycled tires. First, just cutting up a tire into pieces significantly improves the efficiency of shipping, versus keeping the old tire intact. Additional uses from employing our machines include:

• Creating mats from treads cut to lay flat
• Using cut sidewalls as weights for tarps to keep them in place
• Recycling the metal and wires
• Creating construction cylinders for pouring foundations or in road work

Our machines remove metal and sidewalls and prepare a tire for further processing by recyclers, who will reduce the size of the rubber pieces for purposes such as:

• Substituting rubber for gravel in road building or under light rail tracks to reduce noise
• Creating granular rubber to be reformed into products like mats and vehicle mudguards
• Landfill medium and garden mulch
• Wastewater treatment filters
• Tire-derived fuel systems

This isn't an exhaustive list, and with the impetus for all of us to recycle, it's certainly more uses for waste tires will be found.

Our Machines

Basically what our machinery does is deconstruct a tire so it can begin to be repurposed. This involves:

• Separating and removing the sidewall
• Removing the bead
• Cutting the tread in half and additional cutting to desired shapes and sizes
• Chopping the tread into smaller pieces
• Cutting and chopping sidewalls
• Separating and sorting the material

By doing this our machines can create products for final use such as mats from treads, or as the raw material for many of the products we listed above.

Final Points

Our machines are made to be rugged and simple, and may parts, such as blades, are meant to use replacement parts that can be purchased locally. Maintenance is minimal. Machines arrive almost completely assembled, with only things like local 220v plugs required or cutting blades installed.

We are confident your purchase of our waste tire recycling machine lineup will provide you everything needed for your business.
