Scrap Tyre Recycling Projects

Waste Tyre Recycling Plant & Processing Line

We plan scrap tyre processing lines for shredding, size reduction, steel separation and rubber recovery. The machine setup depends on the tyre type, required output size and plant capacity.

What does a waste tyre recycling plant do?

It cuts old tyres into smaller pieces, separates steel and other fractions where required, and prepares rubber material for the next use or recycling process.

Scrap tyre project types we can plan and integrate

The line is selected around the tyre type, capacity and output you want. One fixed machine combination does not suit every project.

Typical Tyre Process

How a scrap tyre processing line works

A typical mechanical tyre-recycling line can follow these steps. The exact sequence depends on the tyre and required final size.

01 · ReceiveScrap tyres are received, checked and prepared for controlled feeding.
02 · Pre-cut / FeedLarge tyres may need pre-cutting or controlled feeding before shredding.
03 · Primary ShredTyres are reduced into smaller pieces by a suitable heavy-duty shredder.
04 · Separate SteelFerrous steel is removed from the material stream where the process requires it.
05 · Size ReduceRubber is reduced further when smaller chips or granules are required.
06 · Screen / GradeMaterial is separated by size for recirculation or final collection.
07 · Store / DispatchRecovered rubber and steel fractions are stored or sent to the next process.

Understand the Input

Tyre type and output size decide the plant.

A passenger tyre, truck tyre and mixed scrap-tyre stream do not behave the same way. We first understand the incoming tyres and the required output before finalising the equipment sequence.

Tyre typePassenger, truck, mixed or project-specific feed
CapacityRequired hourly or daily throughput
Final sizeShred, chip, smaller rubber fraction or graded output
Recovery needSteel separation and downstream material handling
Important: The exact cutter design, motor power, number of size-reduction stages and screening arrangement must be selected after the tyre type and required output are confirmed.
Plant Equipment

Machines are selected around the tyre and target output.

The plant may use one or more of these systems. Final equipment depends on capacity, tyre size and the required final fraction.

Industrial shredder for heavy duty recycling and size reduction
Primary Shredder

Heavy-duty first-stage size reduction for scrap tyres.

Cutting System

Cutter design selected according to tyre type and required output.

Magnetic separator used for ferrous metal recovery
Magnetic Separator

Removes recoverable ferrous steel from the material stream.

Screening system for grading processed material by size
Screening / Grading

Separates processed rubber by required size.

Conveyor and material handling system for a recycling line
Conveyors & Handling

Moves tyre pieces and recovered fractions between process stages.

Engineering Before Fabrication

Start with the tyre, capacity and required output.

Project planning becomes much easier when these basic details are clear before machine selection.

What we need before selecting the line

Share the tyre type, approximate quantity, required final size, steel-separation requirement, operating hours and available project area.

These images show how the rubber fraction can become smaller as additional size-reduction and screening stages are added. Final size is project-specific.

Tyre Recycling FAQs

Common project questions

Simple answers for buyers planning a scrap tyre processing or recycling project.

What is a scrap tyre recycling plant?

It is a processing line used to cut and size-reduce old tyres and, depending on the project, separate steel and grade the rubber fraction for the next use or process.

Can passenger and truck tyres use the same machine line?

Not always. Tyre size, construction and required output affect the shredder, cutter design, feeding arrangement and number of processing stages.

What outputs can be produced from scrap tyres?

Depending on the plant configuration, outputs can include tyre shreds or chips, smaller rubber fractions, recovered steel and oversize material for reprocessing.

How is plant capacity selected?

Capacity is considered together with tyre type, operating hours, required output size, number of processing stages, power and site handling arrangement.

Can DSC Engineering plan a complete waste tyre processing line?

DSC Engineering can support project-specific process planning, equipment selection, fabrication or integration, plant layout, installation and commissioning support according to the agreed scope.
