As demand for high-quality crumb rubber continues to grow in India, many recycling companies are looking for ways to improve the purity and market value of their final products. One of the most common challenges in crumb rubber production is the presence of residual nylon fiber after the grinding process.
In March 2026, Shuliy Machinery supplied a 1500kg/h fiber separator to a crumb rubber processing company in India. The equipment was purchased as part of the customer’s production line upgrade project, aiming to improve rubber powder quality and increase the efficiency of fiber removal.
Customer Background
The customer is a well-established rubber recycling company based in India, specializing in the processing of waste truck tires and passenger car tires. The company produces crumb rubber for local rubber product manufacturers and infrastructure projects.
As production capacity increased, the customer found that small amounts of nylon fiber remained in the finished rubber powder. Although the existing system could remove steel wire effectively, fiber contamination still affected the appearance and quality consistency of the final product.
To improve product competitiveness and meet stricter quality requirements from downstream buyers, the company decided to install a dedicated fiber separation system.
Customer Requirements
Before purchasing the equipment, the customer provided several key requirements:
- Efficient removal of nylon fiber from rubber powder
- Stable operation under continuous production conditions
- Capacity of approximately 1500kg per hour
- Easy integration into the existing crumb rubber plant
- Low maintenance and operating costs
After evaluating the customer’s production process and output requirements, Shuliy engineers recommended a high-capacity fiber separator designed specifically for crumb rubber production lines.
Recommended Fiber Separator Solution
The selected model features an advanced airflow separation system that effectively separates lightweight nylon fibers from rubber granules and rubber powder.
Equipment Specifications
| Open menu | Especificação |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Separador de Fibras |
| Capacidade | 1500 kg/h |
| Potência | 5.5 kW + 3 kW |
| Tamanho da Máquina | 1.4 × 1.4 × 3.5 m |
| Peso | 1500 kg |
| Material | Rubber Powder and Nylon Fiber |
| Separation Method | Airflow Separation |
To further improve performance, the traditional screw conveying system was replaced with a fan-assisted feeding system. This design helps create a more stable airflow field, improving fiber removal efficiency while reducing material blockage during operation.
Why Fiber Removal Matters in a Crumb Rubber Plant
Many tire recycling companies focus primarily on shredding and grinding equipment. However, fiber separation is equally important when producing high-quality crumb rubber.
Residual nylon fiber can lead to:
- Lower rubber powder purity
- Reduced product value
- Inconsistent product quality
- Difficulties in downstream processing
A dedicated fiber separator helps recycling companies produce cleaner rubber powder suitable for applications such as:
- Rubber mats
- Playground surfaces
- Sports tracks
- Rubber-modified asphalt
- Reclaimed rubber products
By improving final product quality, recyclers can often achieve better selling prices and expand their customer base.
Manufacturing and Shipment
After confirming the technical specifications, the machine entered production at the Shuliy factory. The equipment underwent standard inspection and testing procedures before shipment.
The fiber separator was then prepared for export and delivered to Nhava Sheva Port, one of India’s major commercial ports. The entire process, from order confirmation to shipment, was completed within the agreed production schedule.
Expected Benefits for the Customer
Following installation, the customer expects to achieve several operational improvements:
- Higher purity crumb rubber products
- Improved fiber removal efficiency
- Reduced manual cleaning requirements
- More stable product quality
- Increased competitiveness in the local recycled rubber market
The project represents another successful application of Shuliy’s tire recycling equipment in the Indian market and demonstrates the growing demand for higher-quality crumb rubber production solutions.
