Rubber Tire Shredder Machine
The industrial rubber tire shredder machine is designed for waste tire recycling plants to shred whole tires into uniform rubber blocks (50-100 mm), preparing valuable materials for further processing into rubber granules, crumb rubber, and recovered steel. It is suitable for processing car tires, truck tires, agricultural tires, and OTR tires.
- Capacity: 2-20 t/h
- Output Size: 50-100 mm rubber tire blocks
- Application: Waste car tires, truck tires, bus tires, agricultural tires, and OTR tires
- Service: Installation support, technical guidance, spare parts supply, etc.

Why Is a Rubber Tire Shredder Important for Tire Recycling?
Waste tires are difficult to handle because of their large size, strong rubber structure, and embedded steel wires. A tire chipper is the key equipment that transforms whole tires into smaller, uniform rubber blocks, making the recycling process more efficient. By reducing tire size, the shredder helps:
- Improve transportation and storage efficiency by reducing the volume of waste tires.
- Prepare suitable materials for downstream equipment such as the tire grinding machine.
- Increase recycling value by converting waste tires into valuable products including rubber granules, crumb rubber, and recovered steel.
In a complete tire recycling plant, the tire shredding equipment works as the core size-reduction equipment, connecting tire pre-processing and final rubber powder production.
Tires Processed and Output Materials of Rubber Shredder Machine
The rubber tire shredder reduces whole waste tires into uniform rubber blocks, providing ideal materials
for further separation and recycling.
TIRES PROCESSED
Suitable for a wide range of waste tires under 4000 mm.
OUTPUT MATERIAL
Uniform rubber blocks, easy to handle and transport.


APPLICATIONS of SHREDDED TIRE BLOCKS

Used as alternative fuel in cement kilns, power plants, and boilers.

Raw material for rubber tiles, mats, flooring, playground surfaces, etc.

Improves asphalt performance and extends road service life.

To be used in rubber crushing, granulation, and grinding for more recycled materials.
How Does the Tire Crushing Machine Work?
The rubber tire shredder uses a high-torque shredding system to cut and tear waste tires into smaller rubber blocks.
Step 1: Tire Feeding

Whole tires or pre-processed tire pieces are fed into the shredding chamber through a conveyor system.
Step 2: Tire Shredding

The motor drives the rotor shafts and alloy blades. The strong shearing force cuts tires into uniform rubber blocks.
Step 3: Size Control and Discharge

The screen system controls the output size. Qualified rubber pieces are discharged, while oversized materials can be returned for further processing.
The final shredded rubber blocks can then enter the next recycling stages, such as steel wire separation and rubber grinding.

The actual capacity depends on tire type, feeding method, and production conditions.

How to Choose the Right Tire Chipper Model?
The right rubber tire shredder model depends mainly on your required capacity, feeding condition, and recycling goals.
- Processing capacity: Choose the model according to your daily tire recycling volume. Different models are available for small workshops, commercial recycling plants, and large-scale projects.
- Feeding condition: If whole tires are directly fed into the shredder, a stronger configuration may be required. For pre-cut tire pieces, the shredder can be selected based on the required output capacity.
- Final application: For producing tire-derived fuel (TDF) or rubber blocks, a primary shredder is usually enough. For further rubber recycling, the shredder can be integrated with downstream crushing and grinding equipment.

Tire Shredding Machine in Waste Tire Recycling Process
A rubber tire shredder is a key size-reduction machine in a waste tire recycling line. It is usually installed after tire pre-processing equipment, such as tire debeaders and cutters, to shred prepared tire pieces into uniform rubber blocks for further recycling.
A typical waste tire recycling process includes:
Waste Tires → Tire Debeader / Tire Cutter → Rubber Tire Shredder → Rubber Grinding & Separation → Fiber Separator → Rubber Powder, Steel Wires, Fiber, etc.
The specific configuration can be customized according to your raw materials, processing capacity, and final products, such as:
- Tire chips for TDF (Tire Derived Fuel)
- Rubber blocks for further processing
- Crumb rubber and rubber powder
- Recovered steel and fiber materials
