Tire Shredding Machine—Second Generation
Efficient Tire Recycling at Normal Temperature
REPA’s second-generation tire shredding machine brings together advanced international technology and innovative design to make tire recycling faster, cleaner, and more efficient. It can process waste tires directly at room temperature, crushing them into 50×50 mm rubber blocks and then grinding them into 10–30 mesh rubber granules. Integrated wire and fiber separation ensures clean and uniform output, ready for further recycling or reuse.

How It Works
-
Feeding
Whole tires (car, truck, or OTR) are placed onto the conveyor belt. -
Shredding
The rotor and blades apply high torque cutting force to break the tire into blocks. -
Output Sorting
The shredded rubber blocks are discharged evenly for further grinding or steel separation. -
Next Processing Steps (Optional)
-
Steel wire removal
-
Rubber granulator for 1-5 mm rubber granules
-
Fine pulverizer for rubber powder (1-120 mesh)

FAQ
Q1: What size of tires can the shredder process?
A: It can handle car, truck, and OTR tires depending on model size.
Q2: Do I need to remove steel wire before shredding?
A: No. Whole tires can be shredded directly.
Q3: Can you provide a complete recycling line?
A: Yes. We supply full systems, including shredders, granulators, separators, conveyors, and dust collectors.
Q4: How long do the blades last?
A: Blade lifespan typically ranges from 6–24 months depending on raw material and operation frequency.
