Working Process of the waste tire recycling plant
Complete semi-automated scrap tire recycling plant process: tire sidewall cutter→tire strip cutter→tire block cutter→tire steel wire separator→tire grinder and magnetic separators→fiber separator
Pretreatment: The tire side wall cutter removes the tire bead embedded steel rims. Then the strip and block cutter cuts the tire sidewall into 3-5 cm wide strips and 5*5 cm blocks in turn.
Steel wire separation: The steel wire separator efficiently separates rubber from the bead wire for classified recycling. This machine is optional in the semi-automatic scrap tire recycling plant.
Grinding and screening: Through the process of the tire grinding machine and screens, it can output rubber powder in pre-set sizes.
Removing impurities: Multi-stage magnetic separators and the fiber separator are designed to remove magnetics and fibers. Finally can produce fine rubber powders with a purity of over 99%, which can be used in industrial manufacturing.
Waste tire recycling plant cost
Setting up a scrap tire recycling plant is a profitable and sustainable business as global demand for recycled rubber continues to grow.
To start a tire recycling business, you should budget for the following:
- Machine cost: Semi-automatic line with tire sidewall cutter, grinder, etc., starts from $24490, depending on capacity.
- Factory space: Rental or construction cost varies by location.
- Raw materials: Waste tires are usually sourced locally; initial stock may require $1,000–$5,000.
- Labor: Needs only 2–4 workers; monthly wages depend on local rates.
- Electricity: Producing 1 ton of rubber powder consumes 150–180 kWh, helping save on energy bills.
