How to Choose the Right Waste Tyre Cutting Machine?

Shredding and grinding waste tires has become an efficient and cost-effective method of recycling. Waste tyre cutting machines ensure proper pre-treatment, improving overall processing efficiency.

Shuliy offers various scrap tire cutters tailored to different tire types and sizes. But what are the differences between these machines? How are they applied, and how do you choose the right one? This article provides a comprehensive guide.

Learn How Many Kinds of Rubber Tyre Cutting Machines

A waste tyre cutting machine is used to cut bulky scrap tires into smaller sections that are easier to feed into a tire shredder. Shuliy offers a full range of tire cutter machines for sale, including semi-automatic and fully automatic models, designed to handle standard tires (900–1200 mm) as well as large OTR tires (1400–4000 mm).

Semi Automatic Waste Tyre Cutting Machine(for 900-1200 mm Tires)

For standard waste tires within the 900–1200 mm range, Shuliy provides a semi-automatic waste tyre cutting solution that involves three steps:

• Tire Sidewall Cutting Machine: Removes both sidewalls, making it easier to access the inner steel wire and prepare the tire for further cutting.
• Tire Strip Cutting Machine: Cuts the remaining tire body into continuous strips for easier handling.
• Tire Block Cutting Machine: Cuts the rubber strips into smaller rubber blocks, ideal for feeding into a tire shredding machine or rubber granulator.

Fully Automatic Hydraulic Tire Cutter Machine for Sale(for 900-1200 mm Tires)

For high-efficiency processing, Shuliy offers two types of fully automatic waste tire cutting machines, designed to save labor while increasing output and safety:

• Rubber Tire Cutter: This system integrates a tire debeader machine with a high-powered tire shear, allowing the tire to be fully cut and de-bead in preparation for shredding. It is ideal for operators requiring speed and consistency.
• Tire Bead Remover and Cutting Machine: This all-in-one solution automatically removes the steel bead and slices the tire in a single operation. It significantly reduces handling and is compatible with the downstream rubber tire shredder and tire grinders.

These systems are recommended for facilities aiming for continuous, automated processing with minimal labor.

Heavy Duty OTR Tire Shear Machine(for 1400-4000 mm Tires)

For off-the-road (OTR) tires commonly used in mining and construction industries, Shuliy provides a robust OTR waste tyre cutting machine capable of handling tire diameters up to 4000 mm.

This tire cutter is used in combination with an OTR tire wire drawing machine and a tire shredder machine for complete tire recycling. The system is specially engineered to manage thick rubber and high steel content, offering durability and cutting precision.

How To Choose the Right Waste Tire Cutter?

Facing the above various tire shears, choosing the right waste tyre cutting machine depends on three key factors:

• Tire size: Smaller tires(900-1200 mm) are best handled with semi-auto or fully auto systems; lager tyres(1400-4000 mm) require OTR specific equipment.
• Production scale: For high-capacity operations, fully automatic tire cutting systems(such as a combination of a tire debeader and tire cutter, or an all-in-one tire bead remover and cutter machine) offer greater efficiency and reduced labor costs. For lower production volumes, more cost-effective semi-automatic machines like tire ring cutters, strip cutters, and block cutters are a practical choice.
• Integration needs: Consider how the cutter will connect to your shredding, granulating, or sorting systems.
