A tyre shredder is a heavy-duty industrial machine specifically engineered to cut,tear, and break down whole end-of-life tyres (including car tyres, truck tyres, and even steel-belted radials) into smaller, manageable pieces. It serves as the core and primary equipment in the tyre recycling process.

Working Principle

It operates using high-torque,low-speed rotating shafts equipped with cutting tools. The tyres are fed into the machine and are sheared and torn apart by the action between these intermeshing cutters. The machine often includes a screen to control the output size of the shredded fragments.
