An OTR tire cutting machine is a hydraulic cutting system used to process oversized tires that cannot be directly handled by shredders. It cuts thick rubber structures into smaller pieces, enabling efficient downstream shredding and recycling.
The OTR tire cutting machine is specially designed for cutting large mining tires and giant off-the-road (OTR) tires into manageable sections. It is widely used as the first step in tire recycling plants to improve shredding efficiency and reduce equipment wear.
This heavy-duty hydraulic tire cutter can process tires up to 4000 mm, making it ideal for mining, construction, and industrial tire recycling applications.

We provide high-performance OTR tire cutting machines with customizable configurations based on your tire size, capacity, and project requirements. Our solutions are widely used in tire recycling lines worldwide.
The machine uses a hydraulic system to drive cutting blades that apply strong shear force to the tire. The tire is securely positioned and cut into large sections for efficient shredding.
For extremely thick OTR tire crowns (up to 300 mm), a pre-cutting solution is recommended. This process cuts tire crowns into strips and then into blocks, improving efficiency and reducing load on shredders.
Typical processing steps:
1. Tire Cutting Machine: Cut large OTR tires into smaller sections
2. Tire Shredder: Process tire into rubber blocks
3. Rubber Crusher: Produce rubber granules or powder (5–40 mesh)
For smaller truck and passenger tires, a standard tire cutting machine is also available. It is more compact and suitable for tires below 1200 mm.

After cutting, tire pieces are processed through the following steps:
