Waste tires contain two types of steel wires, one is the thick steel wire of the tire mouth, and the other is the capillary steel wire in the carcass, and the separation of the steel wire in the waste tire is a complex but critical process, which involves the synergy of multiple links and equipment.
First of all, pretreatment (extraction of tire mouth thick steel wire): waste tires need to be broken down into 3-5cm rubber blocks through professional cutting equipment, and at the same time separate tire mouth thick steel wires to prepare for subsequent use.
Secondly, rubber block grinding (separating carcass capillary steel wire): the decomposed waste tire rubber block enters the rubber breaking unit for crushing and grinding, and the rubber powder is made and the capillary steel wire is separated at the same time, and the steel wire is separated from the material by the force of the magnetic field of the magnetic separation equipment.
The treated steel wire can be recycled as a renewable resource to make new metal products or as a raw material for steelmaking, which not only helps to reduce resource waste and environmental pollution, but also brings certain economic benefits to enterprises.
