Go to Search GlobalSpec and type in "low cost tyre recycling machinery".

My neighbor just turned them inside out and planted flowers in them.

Thankfully, he moved and took his treasures with him.

There are different components in each type of tire.

Therefore they need to be separated if you want to make new tires of them.

or to vulcanize good outer wear surfaces over half worn old tires.which,

is a dunlop patented system,but they will give you machinery to do it.

Alternatively the old tires can be semi dissolved in acetylenes,

and box roasted into black plastic bags,by our methods.

However,most countries roast them down into bicycle tires,

and find that the most profitable use.but bicycle not motorcyle tires.

It is best done in cold caves or old cold buildings,because the machinery,

puts out an enormous amount of heat,which must be vented for safety.

Pakistan and Ireland make the best equipment.

India makes the best ventilators in Shrinigar or Rishikesh for the job.

Cryo-grinding is most effective process for the reclamation of old rubber tyres.

During cryo grinding the rubber is cooled and embrittled with cryogenic liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Cooling of heat sensitive materials with cryogenic gases during the grinding process prevents their temperature from rising through the heat released during the grinding process. This eliminates material melting and sticking.

tharasi89

It's always heartening to hear from folk that want to venture out on their own.

Don't let Lyn discourage you from seeking help and opinions here. He is well intentioned and most probably just alerting you to the reality that you could gain alot from doing your own research....more of a prompt than a kick.....Right Lyn?

Tyre recycling? I figure India is good place for this. No shortage of raw material and a huge market to sell your product as well.

Do you want to just shred old tyres and sell the raw material or do you want to make finished products?

Have you looked at any incumbent operations yet? They will be your future competitors...

Well yes, tharasi89,

There are a few options open to you. Tire crumbs or granules may be produced by cryogenic treatment (freezing, using liquid N2 or CO2) followed by crushing. This is a relatively energy intensive approach. The Crumbs are excellent for use for creating a soft top layer e.g. on tar-macs. One may also shred the tyres. Do note that the tire material contains a small range of metals as well.

There have also been efforts at combustion of the tires in order to generate electricity. I understand that the tire crumb may even be exported to countries that use them.

0The storage of tires in huge mounds can often be an environmental risk & hazard as in the case of the UK. Once started, fires may rage on for days or weeks.

Good luck.

Well, sort of.

It is difficult to cultivate a barren field.

Without some solid clues as to volume, type, desired end product, etc. etc. etc. it's not easy to provide much in the way of help.

And to Dodgy Solenoid, thanks for the critique, I guess.

Hi, are you near a steelmaker's? The oxygen for carbon reduction is separated from the atmosphere and liquid nitrogen is a by-product. It may be cheaply acquired or set the costs you must meet in your venture.

Good luck!

Zaf,

This is a great idea. I did not think of it myself. But since the liquid Nitrogen does not have to be at a high grade and is available in huge quantities, it might even be that an industrial, low grade liquid N2 could be available at relatively cheap prices from such manufacturing failities.

I would be interested to know what a typical rate of consumption of liquid N2 would be per tonne of tire crumb produced.

Hi,

You can become franchise of Vamshi Rubber Limited, Hyderabad India. They provide complete know-how as well as machinery for cold retreading of tires based on technology of Hercules.

All the best

I suppose you want to minimize air pollution from burning things. Shredding the tires ("tyres" if you're English) and pyrolyzing the shredded material might be done with a grinder like this: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20120193271.pdf

There is a process to reclaim the oil, carbon black and steel from the tires. Gases expelled are burned off to produce electrical energy.

Contact Elgi Rubber in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. They are the largest manufacturer of reclaim rubber and crumb rubber from used tyres. There are several manufacturers in China. Cycle and Rickshaw tyres are 100% made out of Devulcanised reclaim rubber. In other non critical slow moving vehicle tyres, reclaims and crumbs are added in certain percentage to save cost and hence recalimed rubbers are in great demand. Please go ahead, study the reclamation process and start a plant to help clean up the planet.
