Denmark – Eldan Recycling has established a new system which enables recyclers to process whole car and truck tyres – including super singles, earth-mover tyres and OTR – into reusable rubber granulate, powder and clean steel wire. The tyre recycling system can process up to 6 tyres per hour of typically 3-4 metres in diameter and with a weight of about 4-6 tons per tyre.
The company uses a modular approach. The various standard plants are programmed to handle multiple sizes, allowing full control over output size. The tyres are first pre-cut into pieces by a heavy-duty demolition shear and fed through the Eldan Heavy Duty Super Chopper (SC-HD), which is especially designed to process voluminous and tough waste. The big pieces are then processed into tyre shreds, and free steel wire is liberated and removed from the shreds by a powerful overband magnet. The tyre shreds are then further processed in an Eldan granulation and separation plant.
By adding a quality upgrading system, it is also possible to produce so-called ‘black gold’ – a rubber powder that is up to 99.99% free of liberated steel and textile, and 100% free of metals, glass and stones.
