In a complete tire crushing line, the rubber cracking mill (XKP series) plays a key role in reducing pre-treated tire blocks (30–100 mm) into 5–40 mesh rubber granules or coarse powder. With dual-speed friction rollers, adjustable roller gaps, and stable cooling performance, it ensures consistent particle size while helping separate steel wire and nylon fiber during the crushing process.
The XKP series includes models such as XKP-400, XKP-450, and XKP-560, allowing flexible configuration based on capacity requirements and desired output size. For more detailed specifications, please refer to our XKP Rubber Cracking Mill.
Durable rollers for stable crushing: The rollers are made of high-quality steel with a wear-resistant alloy overlay, ensuring long service life and consistent performance in continuous tire crushing line operation.
Optimized temperature control: The roller structure allows cooling water or steam circulation, effectively reducing rubber sticking and maintaining stable output quality during the rubber crushing process.
Automatic operation: Equipped with automatic roller gap adjustment and lubrication system, improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
Flexible output adjustment: The roller gap can be easily adjusted to achieve common output sizes such as 5–40 mesh rubber powder.
Easy maintenance design: Modular structure allows quick maintenance and reduced downtime in rubber crushing machine line applications.
High-quality final product: Uniform roller temperature and grooved design help ensure consistent rubber granules or powder suitable for recycling applications.
A complete tire crushing line equipments integrates multiple machines to process waste tires into 5–40 mesh rubber powder. The typical process includes:
Tire Cutting Machine (Tire Debeader) → Tire Cutter → Tire Shredder → Rubber Cracking Mill → Vibrating Screen → Magnetic Separator → Fiber Separator → 5–40 mesh rubber granules / coarse rubber powder
In this process, the XKP cracking mill is the key machine that converts shredded rubber into uniform granules, ensuring stable output size and high purity in the rubber crushing line.

For smaller capacity projects, a semi-automatic rubber crushing line can be used. The process includes:
Whole Tire → Tire Circle Cutter → Tire Strip Cutter → Tire Slice Cutter → Crumb Rubber Machine → Screening → Magnetic Separation → Fiber Separation → 5–40 mesh rubber powder
This configuration is suitable for cost-sensitive projects while still achieving efficient rubber size reduction.
A complete tire crushing line is designed to process waste tires into 5–40 mesh rubber powder through cutting, shredding, crushing, screening, and separation stages.
Our tire crushing line is engineered for stable rubber size reduction with effective steel wire separation and fiber removal. The table below shows typical solution-based configurations for reference only. Final setups can be customized according to material, capacity, and project requirements.

A tire crushing line is designed to produce fine rubber powder (5–40 mesh), while a tire shredder is used to cut whole tires into rough rubber chips (30–100 mm).
If your goal is rubber powder production for recycling applications such as rubber tiles, asphalt modification, or reclaimed rubber, a complete crushing line is the ideal solution.
Rubber material produced by a tire crushing line (typically 5–40 mesh rubber granules or coarse rubber powder) is widely used across multiple industries. With stable particle size and high purity, it serves as a versatile raw material for:
These applications demonstrate how a complete rubber crushing line can transform waste tires into high-value recycled materials.
Below are common questions about tire crushing line solutions and rubber powder production using cracking mills.
The cost of a tire crushing line depends on capacity, automation level, and output size requirements. Typical configurations range from small-scale systems (300–500 kg/h) to large industrial lines (2–3 tons per hour).

The diagram below illustrates a complete tire crushing line process for converting waste tires into 5–40 mesh rubber granules or powder.
A typical workflow includes tire debeading, cutting, shredding, rubber crushing, screening, and magnetic separation, ensuring efficient size reduction and high-purity output.
Depending on project requirements, both automatic and semi-automatic tire recycling line configurations can be applied to achieve different capacity and cost targets.
The XKP rubber cracking mill is designed to process pre-treated rubber chips, rubber blocks, or rubber granules rather than whole tires. Typical input materials include granules produced from passenger car tires, truck tires, and OTR/bias tires after cutting, shredding, and pre-treatment.
No. The XKP rubber cracking mill does not process whole tires directly. Waste tires must first be cut, shredded, and pre-treated into rubber chips, blocks, or granules before entering the cracking mill in a tire crushing line.
The most common output range is 5–40 mesh rubber granules (coarse rubber powder). Finer output such as 30–100 mesh can be achieved with additional screening and optional fine grinding equipment, depending on your project requirements.
The main differences include roller diameter, roller length, motor power, and capacity. In a tire crushing line, XKP-400 and XKP-450 are commonly used for small to medium output, while XKP-560 is recommended for higher throughput and more demanding output targets.
Selection depends on capacity requirements, target output mesh (commonly 5–40 mesh), and upstream rubber chip/granule size. HVST engineers can recommend the most suitable XKP model and matching separation/screening configuration for your tire crushing project.
Steel wire is removed using magnetic separation (magnetic rollers and separators), and nylon fiber is removed using a fiber separator and vibrating screening. This improves purity for rubber granules and coarse powder production.
Yes. The XKP rubber cracking mill can be integrated into both new and existing lines. Many crumb rubber facilities upgrade by adding an XKP cracking mill to produce 5–40 mesh material and improve product purity with separation units.
Common applications include reclaimed rubber, rubber mats/tiles, playground and running track surfaces, asphalt modification, sealing products, automotive rubber parts, and sports field infill systems.
Depending on the model and feed material size, XKP rubber cracking mills typically operate from 200 kg/h to over 8,000 kg/h. Higher output can be achieved by selecting larger models or running multiple mills in parallel.
