Tyre Shredding
Brentwood has been manufacturing and supplying tyre shredding machines for processing car and truck tyres for many years.
As steel radial tyres are one of the most difficult products to shred, particular attention has been paid to developing machinery with superior working life and low maintenance. Brentwood offers a range of tyre shredders with many diverse cutter arrangements. This allows us to provide tyre shredding equipment that produces various product sizes required for primary or secondary processing. This can be achieved by cutter selection, multi shredder plants or screening.
Tyre shredding is a worldwide necessity due to environmental controls restricting the dumping of whole tyres. Innovative industries are continually using shredded tyre for purposes such as fuel for kilns, retaining wall fill, 25 – 50mm chip for road base, municipal tip cover. Extensive use of rubber chip for production of rubber crumb is now commonplace. As the charges for dumping whole tyres are increasing, new business opportunities are emerging. Fees for tyre removal are charged, which incorporates sufficient funds to allow shredding prior to further processing or disposal.
Brentwood Tyre Shredders
The AZ-50HD – This machine is a good entry level tyre shredding machine capable of shredding up to 250 car tyres per hour. The lower capital cost provides opportunities for smaller businesses to shred tyres. This machine is supplied with 37kW electric drive. Maintenance expenses on this machine are obviously higher than the larger machines in the Brentwood range. This machine is also used as a secondary shredder in our Multi-Purpose Shredder plants or Classifiers for the production of tyre chip.
The AZ-100/2 is the machine which can be used as the primary plant of the Multi-Shredder Tyre Chipping Plant. It can be used to process car and light truck tyres. This machine is supplied with 75kW electric drive and can handle about 600 – 800 car tyres per hour but produces a fairly large product, which it is then necessary to shred through a secondary process. This machine provides high production rates on car tyres with lower maintenance levels
The AZ-150W is Brentwood’s tyre shredding machine. It will handle truck tyres without debeading. However, we recommend debeading, because this will reduce the maintenance costs on the machine and load on the shredder. The machine can handle 1000 car tyres per hour and up to 200 truck tyres per hour. Power supply requirements are high due to a 110kW drive and DOL start.
Classifiers
On all of the above machines, a Classifier Screen is available. This is a small trommel screen which rotates around the shredder and has holes in it to determine the size of the output product. The material which does not go through the holes on the first pass is returned to the shredder for more shredding. Obviously depending upon the size of the product, this effects the production rate through the machine.
