Why Tire Shredding Matters

Waste tires are a persistent environmental problem. Their hollow structure and high void space make them uneconomical to landfill — one tire consumes the volume of several compacted waste items. They also trap water, breed mosquitoes, and pose fire risks that are difficult to extinguish. Tire shredding solves these problems by reducing volume, exposing steel for recovery, and converting rubber into reusable raw material.

What Shredded Tires Become

Tire shreds and crumb rubber serve multiple markets:

Civil engineering — Road bed fill for vibration damping, highway sound barriers, and lightweight embankments

Playground surfaces — Rubber mulch provides impact absorption and slip resistance

Asphalt modification — Crumb rubber blended into pavement reduces thermal cracking and improves winter performance

Tire-derived fuel (TDF) — Shredded tires replace coal in cement kilns and power plants

New rubber products — Fine powder feeds into mats, seals, and molded goods

Wanrooe Tire Recycling Equipment

Tire shredders — Primary size reduction from whole tires to 50–150 mm chips. Screen size controls output dimension. Double shaft and four shaft configurations handle passenger tires through OTR mining tires.

Tire granulators — Secondary reduction from chips to 5–20 mm granules for rubberized asphalt, playground fill, or pelletizing feedstock.

Tire crushers and grinders — Fine grinding to sub-5 mm powder for molded rubber products and high-value applications.

Capacities range from small batch units to high-volume continuous lines. Contact us to match equipment to your tire type, throughput, and end-market requirements. We also offer tire balers for pre-shredding volume reduction and transport efficiency.
