Tire Shredding Machine Which Process 30 Tons of Tires Per Hour

This machine processes an impressive 30 tons of tires per hour, transforming old, discarded tires into valuable raw materials for various applications. Turning them into rubber crumb which can then be used on roads or in playgrounds as well. Tire shredders play a pivotal role in the tire recycling ecosystem. By efficiently shredding tires, valuable resources can be recovered - or they can be made usable for energy, for example for the production of cement. According to study more than one billion tires are disposed of worldwide every year. Tires are more than just round rubber bodies on our roads. They are made of a complex mixture of different materials such as rubber, steel and fibers. These components make them robust and durable, but are also responsible for their environmentally harmful nature if not disposed of properly. To avoid water, soil, and air pollution, appropriate technologies are required during processing. By efficiently shredding tires, valuable resources can be recovered - or they can be made usable for energy, for example for the production of cement. As tires break down, they release harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), into the soil and water. These chemicals can contaminate groundwater, farmland, and ecosystems. Apart form this they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Tires are also a major source of microplastics, which are persistent pollutants in urban stormwater runoff.
