Read MoreA complete tire recycling equipment system combines different processing modules for pre-processing, size reduction, steel and fiber separation, granulation, screening, fine grinding, and material handling. The required tire recycling machinery depends on the raw tire type, target capacity, final particle size, and required end product.
The table below shows the main tire recycling machines used at different processing stages and the typical output of each equipment module.
| Equipment Type | Function | Typical Output |
| Tire Shredder | Primary shredding and size reduction of whole or pre-cut waste tires | 50–150 mm rubber chips |
| Rasper Machine | Secondary size reduction and steel wire liberation | 10–30 mm recycled rubber |
| Rubber Granulator | Further particle size reduction and granulation | 1–5 mm crumb rubber |
| Tire Grinding Machine | Fine processing of prepared rubber material | 30–120 mesh rubber powder |
| Magnetic Separator | Removal of liberated steel wire | Cleaner recycled rubber material |
| Fiber Separator | Removal of nylon fiber and light impurities | Higher-purity recycled rubber |
| Vibrating Screen | Particle size classification and oversized material return | Consistent final particle size |
Different projects require different equipment combinations. A basic waste tire recycling equipment system may focus on producing larger rubber chips, while more complete configurations can add secondary processing, separation, granulation, screening, and fine grinding modules for smaller and cleaner recycled rubber products.
The price of tire recycling equipment depends on processing capacity, tire type, required output size, automation level, separation requirements, and workshop layout.
A basic tire recycling machine configuration can be designed for rubber chip production, while a more complete tire recycling equipment system may include pre-processing, size reduction, steel and fiber separation, granulation, screening, fine grinding, conveyors, dust collection systems, and electrical control cabinets.
To select the right tire recycling machinery and obtain an accurate quotation, please provide your raw tire type, required output size, hourly capacity, available workshop space, and final product application.

Tire recycling equipment refers to the machines and processing modules used to convert waste tires into rubber chips, rubber mulch, crumb rubber, rubber granules, or fine rubber powder. A complete system may include pre-processing equipment, tire shredder, secondary size reduction equipment, granulation equipment, steel and fiber separation systems, screening equipment, fine processing equipment, conveyors, and control systems.
A typical tire recycling machine system can include tire debeading and cutting equipment, primary and secondary size reduction equipment, rubber granulation equipment, magnetic and fiber separation systems, vibrating screens, fine grinding equipment, dust collection systems, conveyors, and electrical control cabinets. The exact equipment configuration depends on the required final product.
The cost of tire recycling equipment depends on processing capacity, automation level, tire type, output size, separation requirements, and final product specifications. A basic rubber chip configuration generally costs less than a complete system designed for crumb rubber or fine rubber powder production. Each project should be quoted according to its required equipment configuration.
Tire recycling machines can produce approximately 50–150 mm rubber chips, 10–30 mm rubber mulch, 1–5 mm crumb rubber, and 30–120 mesh rubber powder. Depending on the configuration, the system can also recover steel wire and textile fiber from waste tires.
The right tire recycling equipment depends on raw tire type, required capacity, final output size, budget, workshop space, automation requirements, and target application. Equipment combinations for TDF, rubber mulch, crumb rubber, and rubber powder production are different because each product requires different processing stages.
Looking for a complete tire recycling machine solution? HVST provides customized tire recycling equipment based on processing capacity, tire type, required output size, automation level, and final product requirements.
A complete tire recycling equipment system can be configured to produce rubber chips, rubber mulch, crumb rubber (1–5 mm), or rubber powder (30–120 mesh). Different products require different combinations of pre-processing, size reduction, granulation, separation, screening, and fine processing equipment.
The general recycling process can be adjusted according to the required particle size and material purity.
Typical Processing Stages:
Whole Tire → Pre-processing → Size Reduction → Granulation → Separation & Screening → Fine Processing → Final Products
This equipment configuration processes whole or pre-cut tires into approximately 50–150 mm tire chips for TDF (tire-derived fuel) and other industrial applications. The required equipment depends on tire size, target chip size, and production capacity.
