Is It Worth Building a Tire Recycling Plant

Tire Scrap Problem is Becoming Urgent...

Nowadays, whether in developed or developing country, more and more individuals or families choose to buy a car or more because of the improved economic ability and cheaper price of the vehicle. Correspondingly, tire scrap has been increasing greatly. Worldwide more than 3 billion tires are dumped every year. In the USA, tires are scrapped at a rate of 1.1 tire/person/year leading to over 300 million tires scrapped per year. The condition in other developed countries is not far better. In Canada, about 26 million tires are sold each year and equivalent number is generated as used tires. Every day in UK, over 100,000 worn tyres are taken off cars, vans and trucks. In China, over ten millions of tire scrap is generated every year. We can vividly feel it from the world’s biggest tyre graveyard in Kuwaiti.

Tire Recycling Market is Promising...

At the same time, scrap tires present a unique recycling and disposal challenges because they are heavy, bulky and made from a variety of materials. How to make proper use of tire scrap is becoming a urgent problem for many countries. What are the present recycling ways? Generally speaking, there are three main ways to recycle tire scrap, that is, tire-derived fuel, ground rubber application and civil engineering. In the first application, burning tires release a compound, namely pyroloytic oil, which can be used as a cleaner and more economical alternative to coal as fuel in paper mills, industrial boiler,etc. Ground rubber application include new rubber products, playground and other sports surfacing and rubber -modified asphalt. As for civil engineering, these tire scrap are usually shred and then used in road and landfill construction, septic tank leach fields, etc.

Among these three ways, even though incineration can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and keep scrap tires out of landfills. It is far from ideal because of its inefficiency and emission problem.Compared with the other applications, tire crumb is better at present. For those who want to start tire recycling business, they may worry about its market. In fact, the recycled rubber is widely used in many fields like sport surfaces, automotive industry, construction, geotechnical/asphalt application, adhesives and sealants, shock absorption ans safety products, rubber and plastic products.

Tire Recycling Plant is What You Need
How to win these markets? One important thing is to ensure the quality of tire crumb. Although there is a lack of a uniform standard, we still have some common sense. For reaching it, we need to follow strict producing process and we need quality tire recycling plant.

Then what can be a quality tyre recycling plant? And what’s the tyre recycling plant cost? Each single machine are working and cooperating with each other well. As an experienced manufacturer of tire recycling machines, we have small tire recycling plant and large one. We have different solutions for each series. Take our XKP-400 Line for example. Its output is 200 kg/h for around 5-30 mesh rubber powder. The cost is about 22,000 dollars.

How to Scrap Electrical Motors

AC induction motors, which are most widely used in industrial drives, contain a stator coil that is made of copper or aluminum wire, while copper is most commonly used. If you are a metal recycler, you may want to separate out the copper winding from scrap electric motors, which will get you more money. A motor manufacturer may also have failed motors in hand waiting to be processed. In this regard, we have two methods to introduce for you.

Recover by Using Simple Tools
1. Make sure the motor has not been used for at least one hour to avoid electric shock. 
2. Cut off the items which are attached on the motor. 
3. Loosen the screws on the steel case and then remove the case. 
4. Use a pair of wire cutters or chop saw to cut off one side of the copper winding, and then pry the winding out by using a screw driver on the other end.
5. Now you get the copper winding. You can go further to recycle the aluminum and steel in the motor. 
However, salvaging motors by this way is labor intensive. If you have rich resources of scrap motor, you might consider a fast way to scrap the copper winding. Good news is that, there are machines special designed for recycling copper winding in the motor stator.

Electric Motor Recycling Machine
Electric motor recycling machine consists of two machines, copper wire cutting machine and copper wire pulling machine. The cutting machine cuts one end of the copper winding, while pulling machine pulls the winding out. 
The recycling machine has high efficiency but only consumes quite small amount of power. It can dismantle motor stator with the diameter of 6cm-50cm. There are no damage to the silicon steel case. 
The copper winding are not bare, but are generally coated in enamel, which protect the wire from shorting itself out. The copper content in a scrap motor varies according to the types of motor. Averagely, an AC motor contains 7-9 percent of copper.
