Tire Crumb Machine (Rubber Crumb Production Line)

What Is a Tire Crumb Machine?

A tire crumb machine, also known as a rubber crumb production line or crumb rubber making machine, is designed to process waste tires into 1–5 mm rubber granules. This tire recycling system integrates shredding, steel separation, and granulation to produce high-purity crumb rubber for industrial applications.

Tire Crumb Machine for 1–5mm Rubber Granules

The tire crumb machine, also known as a rubber crumb production line or crumb rubber making machine, is a complete tire recycling production line designed to convert waste tires into uniform 1–5 mm rubber granules. This system integrates tire shredding, steel separation, and rubber granulator machine processes to produce high-purity crumb rubber for industrial applications such as rubber flooring, artificial grass, and asphalt modification.

Tire Crumb Machine (Rubber Crumb Production Line)

The tire crumb machine, also known as a rubber crumb production line or crumb rubber making machine, is designed to process waste tires into uniform 1–5 mm rubber granules with steel and fiber completely removed. This tire recycling production line integrates shredding, rasping, granulation, magnetic separation, and fiber separation to ensure stable output quality and high purity crumb rubber.

  • Main Machines: tire shredder, rasper, rubber granulator machine, magnetic separator, fiber separator
  • Output Material: 1–5 mm rubber crumbs
  • Capacity: 500–10,000 kg/h (customizable)
  • Applications: rubber tiles, mats, turf infill, molded products, pyrolysis feedstock, etc.

 

Tire Crumb Machine and Rubber Granulation Equipment

1. Primary Tire Shredder Machine

Cuts whole tires into 50–150mm rubber chips for further processing in the tire crumb production line.

  • Low-speed, high-torque dual shaft
  • Wear-resistant alloy blades
  • PLC control and overload protection

2. Tyre Rasper Machine

Reduces chips into 10–30mm pieces and removes most steel wire.

  • High-speed rotor and replaceable knives
  • Heavy flywheel for stable operation
  • Built-in steel separation

3. Rubber Granulator Machine

Processes 10–30mm rubber mulch into 1–5mm crumb rubber granules. This stage is the core of the crumb rubber making machine.

  • Precision knife system
  • Water or air cooling options
  • Adjustable screen sizes

4. Magnetic Separator & Fiber Separator

Removes steel wires and nylon fibers to ensure high-purity crumb rubber output.

Tire Crumb Production Process

The tire recycling process typically includes the following stages:

Tire Shredding

Whole tires are processed using a tire shredder machine into 50–150mm rubber chips.

Steel Separation

Rasper machines reduce the size to 10–30mm and remove most of the steel wire.

Granulation

The material is processed using a rubber granulator machine into 1–5mm crumb rubber granules.

Fiber Removal & Screening

Final separation ensures high purity rubber crumb ready for reuse.

Tire Crumb Production Process

  1. Feeding – Whole tires enter the tire shredder machine.
  2. Primary Shredding – Tires are reduced into 50–150mm chips.
  3. Rasping – Chips reduced to 10–30mm rubber mulch with steel removed.
  4. Granulation – Material processed into 1–5mm crumb rubber.
  5. Steel & Fiber Removal – Multiple separators ensure clean output.
  6. Final Product – High-quality rubber granules ready for reuse.

Crumb Rubber Size and Applications

The final product is rubber granules ranging from 1–5 mm, widely used in:

  • Rubber flooring and mats
  • Artificial grass infill
  • Playground and sports surfaces
  • Rubber tiles
  • Modified asphalt

Applications of Tire Crumb Machine and Rubber Granules

Rubber Mulch and Crumb Rubber Applications

Rubber granules produced by the tire crumb machine can be further processed into colored rubber mulch for landscaping and playground surfaces. This crumb rubber production line supports flexible downstream processing including washing, coloring, and packaging systems.

Crumb rubber is widely used in flooring, sports surfaces, and molded products due to its elasticity, durability, and impact resistance.

  • Rubber Flooring Products
  • Sports & Athletic Surfaces
  • Molded & Pressed Products
  • Construction & Building Materials
  • Industrial & Energy Uses
