Advances in Mechanical Shredding for High-Density Granule Production
The evolution of mechanical shredding systems has marked a turning point in the efficiency of rubber recycling. At TireTech, we have developed a new generation of dual-shaft shredders that optimize the granulation process, key for demanding applications such as high-performance sports surfaces.
The Heart of the System: Reinforced Steel Blades
The durability and precision of the cut depend directly on the blade material. Our engineering team has selected and treated a high-alloy steel that resists the extreme abrasion of tire rubber, maintaining its edge up to 40% longer than conventional solutions. This translates into more uniform granulation and lower energy consumption.
"The key is not just shredding, but controlling the size and shape of the resulting granule. A cubic, dense granule offers better mechanical properties for reuse in composite materials."
Integration with Smart Conveyor Belts
The process does not end at the shredder. We have integrated conveyor belt systems with weight sensors and computer vision that classify the shredded material in real time. This allows for automatic separation of impurities (textile and metal) and precise dosing towards the final granulation phase.
- Reduction of waste material by 15%.
- Guaranteed homogeneity in granule batches.
- Automation that reduces manual intervention on the line.
This comprehensive approach, from primary shredding to transport and classification, defines modern industrial machinery for recycling. The result is high-density rubber granules, ready to become safe and durable surfaces or efficient acoustic and thermal insulating materials.
