A waste tyre cutting machine is used to cut whole tires into manageable sections before shredding or further size reduction. This pre-processing step improves shredding efficiency and reduces wear on downstream equipment.
In a typical tire recycling plant, the waste tyre cutting machine works together with a tire shredder, granulator, and rubber powder production line to ensure stable and efficient operation.

Waste Tyre Cutting Machine (Standard Type)
This cutting system can cut tire into 3-5cm tire blocks for further process into rubber powder or rubber granule in the next step.
The main working part of this machine is two relative rotary roll shafts with the same speed. When tire circle cut into the middle of two rollers, it will be extruded by roll shaft, at the same time, be squeezed, Sheared and tear by the two relative rotary rollers. And finally complete the separation of the steel wire.
Easy operation: The equipment operation process is simple, and the cutting operation can be completed by buttons or control handles, etc

Working process of the standard waste tyre cutting machine (pre-processing step):
Below are common questions about waste tyre cutting machines used in tire recycling projects.
A waste tyre cutting machine is used in the pre-processing stage of tire recycling to cut whole waste tires into smaller sections. This reduces tire size and thickness, making downstream shredding and crushing more efficient and stable.
Yes. Heavy-duty tire cutting machines are designed to process truck tires and certain OTR tires after bead removal. Different models are available depending on tire diameter, thickness, and required cutting capacity.
In most tire recycling projects, cutting is a recommended pre-treatment step. A waste tyre cutting machine reduces the load on the tire shredder, improves throughput, lowers blade wear, and helps ensure smooth and continuous operation.
Typical materials include passenger car tires, light and heavy truck tires, bus tires, and pre-treated OTR tires. The exact tire size and steel content determine which cutting model is most suitable.
In a complete tire recycling line, a tire cutting machine typically works with bead cutters, tire shredders, granulators, magnetic separators, and screening systems to achieve efficient size reduction and steel separation.
Selection depends on tire type, maximum tire diameter, daily capacity requirements, and downstream recycling equipment. HVST can recommend the appropriate cutting machine model based on your tire recycling project.
