Shredding and grinding tires
This method is one of our personal favorites. If you watched the video on our frontpage, this is most of what we do. When a tire is shredded, the volume is reduced to about a ΒΌ of the original. The resulting products are a rubber crumb which is used as raw materials in a variety of different industries and even in the creation of new tires. So, are you thinking about how to recycle your tires?
Ambient Scrap Tire Processing
This process, much like shredding and grinding, is where the tires are not cooled and remain at ambient (room) temp and are then slowly ground down through a series of granulators. This allows for the production of rubber crumbs of varying sizes.
Cryogenic Crushing
This process takes the Mr. Freeze approach and completely freezes the tires to a temperature of about -80C(-112F). At that temperature point the rubber becomes nearly as brittle as glass and can be crushed or broken. For a fun stress reliever, watch rubber being crushed and compressed,. While the end product is usually cleaner, it is overall a more expensive process. This is mostly due to the liquid nitrogen required to freeze the materials.
Pyrolysis
If the last process was Mr. Freeze, then this one is more like the Human Torch. Pyrolysis involves destroying the tires at temperatures upwards of 430C(806F). This is a process that can be used to essentially turn tires into oil, which can be used as a low-cost replacement for diesel fuel.
