The tire shredder is the first stage of tire recycling, where it cuts whole tires into rubber strips. These strips can then be fed into the second stage of recycling, which is grinding and sorting. The strips can also be sold directly as-is for many uses, such as fuel for some industries and as raw material for other industries.

The shredder operates on two shafts, each fitted with a set of cutting knives, and each shaft is driven by an electric motor and a suitable speed reducer. The shredder is also equipped with feed and discharge conveyors. Operation is controlled from an electrical control panel equipped with the necessary protection, and it features automatic reverse and restart when the load increases.

The shredder frame has a unique design that allows any part to be pulled out easily without dismantling other parts, which facilitates installation and maintenance. The shredder is manufactured entirely on computer-controlled laser machines, and parts are assembled with bolted connections without any welding, ensuring dimensional accuracy and making maintenance and spare-part replacement completely easy.

The shredder produces up to 1,000 kg of rubber strips per hour using only three workers, with electricity consumption of less than 64 kWh, and requires no more than 100 square meters with suitable height for installation. This is in addition to storage areas for incoming tires and for the produced strips. When operated as part of a recycling line, the same labor and the same space are used within the production line.
