Dual Shaft Tire Shredder

The dual-shaft tire shredder is a robust and highly efficient machine engineered to meet the demanding needs of tire recycling, solid waste reduction, and resource recovery industries. Designed to handle all types of waste tires—from passenger vehicle tires to heavy-duty truck and OTR (off-the-road) tires—this shredder plays a vital role in turning waste rubber into valuable material suitable for further processing or direct use.

As global regulations and environmental awareness regarding waste tire disposal continue to grow, businesses need reliable solutions to break down these bulky and non-biodegradable materials. The Dual Shaft Tire Shredder addresses this challenge with advanced cutting technology, a durable structure, and powerful drive systems that guarantee long-lasting, high-capacity performance.

Tires pose a significant recycling challenge due to their high elasticity, volume, and embedded metal reinforcement. Conventional crushers often struggle to process such resilient materials. The dual-shaft tire shredder, however, is specifically designed for this purpose. Using two slow-speed, high-torque shafts equipped with intermeshing cutting blades, the machine can easily shear through thick rubber and steel wire with minimal vibration and noise.

The result is a uniform, manageable tire shred that can be further processed into rubber mulch, crumb rubber, or used in applications such as alternative fuel (TDF), playground surfaces, asphalt modification, and civil engineering materials.

Dual Shaft Cutting System
The core of the shredder consists of two counter-rotating shafts fitted with replaceable and wear-resistant blades. These shafts grip and tear tires using low-speed rotation, which reduces energy consumption, noise, and wear while providing high torque output. This ensures maximum efficiency in shredding even the toughest tire materials, including those with heavy steel bead reinforcement.

Heavy-Duty Construction
Made from high-grade steel, the machine’s frame and chamber are built for maximum durability. Reinforced sidewalls, integrated shaft sealing, and robust bearing supports ensure that the shredder can operate continuously under harsh industrial conditions.

High Torque, Low Speed Drive
The dual-shaft tire shredder is powered by either an electric or hydraulic motor, depending on the configuration. The low-speed rotation, typically between 10–25 RPM, reduces heat build-up and extends the life of the cutting blades while providing exceptional torque to tear through dense and flexible tire material.

Automatic Reverse Protection
To prevent blade jamming and protect the motor from overload, the shredder is equipped with an automatic reverse system. When excessive resistance is detected, the shafts reverse briefly to clear blockages and then resume normal operation automatically.

Customizable Output Size
The output size of shredded tire material can be adjusted by changing the blade design or configuring downstream screens and conveyors. This makes the shredder versatile for different recycling applications, whether the target is TDF, granules, or pre-crushed feedstock for finer grinding.

User-Friendly Control System
The integrated control panel is PLC-based and features an intuitive interface with fault alarms, operational data, and programmable settings. Operators can monitor shredder performance and make quick adjustments as needed.

Low Maintenance and Easy Cleaning
With removable chamber covers and easy-access blade assemblies, maintenance and cleaning tasks can be carried out quickly. The blades are designed for long service life, and re-sharpening or replacing them is straightforward.
