The tire cutting machine consists of a tire splitting machine and an automatic strip cutting and chunking machine, mainly used for processing all-steel radial tires.
Operation method: First, use the tire splitting machine to split the waste tire into two parts from the middle of the crown; then, push the halved tire to the automatic strip cutting and chunking machine to cut it into 30-50mm rubber chunks. The entire operation only requires one employee.
The tire shredder is used to shred whole nylon tires or truck tires with the bead wire removed into small chunks, making them easier for further processing.
From the comparison of the two processes mentioned above, each has its advantages. Tire slicing machines outperform tire shredders in terms of energy consumption, investment cost, and tool wear expenses. Moreover, due to the production characteristics of recycled rubber, the tread rubber of all-steel radial tires has better quality than the sidewall and shoulder rubber, allowing for better recycled rubber production. On the other hand, tire shredders are more suitable for nylon tires.
In terms of price, tire shredders are significantly more expensive than tire slicing machines due to their high automation and safety features. However, one must also consider production costs and subsequent maintenance costs. A medium to small model shredder incurs over a hundred yuan in production costs for each ton of rubber blocks, and tools need to be removed for sharpening. In contrast, a tire slicing machine only costs tens of yuan per ton of rubber blocks, and its tools can be sharpened online without disassembly.
In summary, investors should conduct comprehensive assessments when considering tire slicing equipment, taking into account actual production needs, investment budget, and other factors to select the tire slicing equipment that best suits them.
