Material
The amount of waste made up of used tires and other rubber products continues to grow year after year. The XR shredder can process this difficult waste stream to specific sizes. This includes off road tires with the bead still intact.
Whatever the end product you need to produce, the XR can be configured to provide years of exceptional service.
Find the right shredder
Rubber wastes and scrap tires in particular are a major problem worldwide. Every year around 1 billion used tires need to be disposed of and most of these are simply being dumped into landfills.
This not only hurts the environment but also wastes an extremely viable product. When properly shredded, tires and rubber provide not only a high BTU product for cement kilns, but have many other uses – cushioning playground material, wood replacement and building block additive (combined with recycled cement products), road base additive, high strength steel recycling, alternative daily cover, and many more!
A common problem tire recyclers encounter is that multiple units are required to process this seemingly difficult material because the different waste products in this category include scrap tires, conveyor belts, rubberized chains and other production wastes. These normally contain a significant percentage of steel which needs to be liberated in the processing chamber and then separated by magnets after the shredded material passes through the sizing screen installed behind the rotor. This made a recycling facility a fairly expensive endeavor until the introduction of the UNTHA XR Series of shredders.
The XR3000C-HT provides a machine capable of effectively processing whole tires including the bead and other rubber wastes down to a 2” (50mm) minus end product in a single pass. This 2” minus material can then be processed by an UNTHA Model XR3000XC with a 4/5” (20mm) sizing screen to remove the remainder of the steel and create an extremely sought after end product. It also enables the facility to further refine the tire wire to create another premium end product out of a waste stream which was otherwise considered “difficult at best” to shred.
The Solution
The XR Series of shredders have been specifically designed to shred scrap tires and other rubber wastes efficiently and with the lowest operating costs in the industry (up to 75% lower than comparable diesel-powered units).
The attention to detail used in the machine design has produced a single pass shredder capable of processing whole tires with the bead and other rubber wastes down to consistent end product sizes using the “C” Rotor and the high torque gear box configuration.
This end product can then be further processed with the XC rotor to produce metal free product for a variety of uses. The machine is capable of tens of thousands of hours of use even in this difficult feedstock.
Shredders specifically designed to match your needs
The XR Shredder configured with the High Torque Gear Box Configuration and “C” rotor with two rows of cutters is capable of processing whole tires with the bead down to a 2” (50mm) end product size in a single pass at production rates up to 10 TPH.
The overband magnet can separate up to 80% of the wire in this configuration, which creates a high value end product for use in cement plants and other markets.
This primary shredded material can then be run through an XR Shredder equipped with the “XC” rotor and a 4/5” (20mm) screen to remove the rest of the steel to produce a perfect playground material or as use in other high demand markets.
The Stationary or Mobil-e versions are both capable of processing to these strict standards to provide further flexibility for any situation.
