Classic Rubber Flooring – a rubber flooring tiles manufacturer and supplier based in Ahmedabad, India – is expanding its recycling capabilities at its facility in Mehsana, Gujarat. The company specializes in manufacturing flooring for various applications, such as gyms, play areas, swimming pools, and athletic stadiums, using granules derived from waste tires. In the past, they relied on sourcing granules externally or importing them. However, in 2018, they decided to produce their own granules and partnered with Fornnax Technology, a Gujarat-based company specializing in waste tire recycling machinery. Classic Rubber installed a 1.5-ton-per-hour capacity granulator from Fornnax in 2019, followed by a secondary shredder in 2020 to meet their growing needs.

Mars Mineral – an American manufacturer of agitation pelletizing technology with pin agglomerators, disc pelletizers, and deep drum pelletizers based in Pennsylvania – has been awarded a contract to design and manufacture a new pin mixer for Warsaw, Poland-based Contec S.A., an environmental services company that uses pyrolysis to extract recovered carbon black (rCB) powder grades, as well as pyrolysis oil and recovered steel from waste or end-of-life tires (ELTs). The Mars Mineral pin mixer transforms the rCB powder into pellets, making them ready for packaging and transport to Contec’s end-partner customers. rCB pellets are used in tire, paint, plastics, and rubber manufacturing.

Today, fast-paced technology advances in IoT and digitalization have been affecting almost all industries. One might think that tire recycling and pyrolysis industries are far beyond the scope of this trend. Yet, quite the opposite is happening. Below, we will explain how tire recycling and pyrolysis plant operators will be embracing effects of advancing tire manufacturing technologies.

The patented Eagle Punch Cutter II is portable and designed to split Off the Road (OTR) tires into two halves, cutting through the center of the tread. It can handle a range of tire sizes, from a rim size of 39 inches and a tread width of 37 inches up to, and including, rim size of 63 inches and tread width of 70 inches. A blade is used to punch the tire while a programmable logic controller (PLC) controls the rotation of the tire and the punching process, allowing the operator to set the machine, press the start button, and let it run.

With the extension of the Shredpax Shredder Division into the repair and service of used shredders, the GRE or Global Recycling Equipment Group, which is controlled by the Burda Trust of Canada, has stated that it has expanded further into the multi-branding of shredders.

CM informs that the demand for tire-derived fuel (TDF) is significantly increasing thanks to its advantages over traditional fuels, such as providing higher heating value than coal or wood. The heat produced from TDF is approximately thirty percent higher than that of coal and more than twice that of wood. TDF also provides lower sulfur oxide emissions when compared with coal, which has a higher sulfur content. Furthermore, combustion of TDF provides better operational consistency than other fuels used in waste-to-energy systems.

Tony Patti of OzTyre Recyclers is aiming to turn an end-of-life tire export ban in Australia into an opportunity, Waste Management Review magazine reports. He's set the wheels in motion for a better future with the support of Waste Initiatives. Tony Patti was taught as a "young bloke" that if you're going to recycle, you should be able to recycle a product into something else. OzTyre Recyclers, a family business, is "not there yet," but is well on its way.

In this article, Weibold highlights the ways tire recycling industry can adapt to future changes. It also analyses established and new solutions to reduce the need for inter-continental end-of-life tire trading. As a recycling industry we have a particular responsibility to help reduce CO2 emissions.
