Tire Recycling Equipment

Unlimited Resources Corporation has a very strong presence in the used tire recycling equipment industry.  We sell used and refurbished machines all over the world.  We have sold everything from a million dollar crumb rubber system in South Africa to tire rim crushers costing a few thousand dollars.

We handle many kinds of equipment for reducing the size of tires or tire chips. These include tire shredders, tire debeaders, tire sidewall cutters, granulators, tire shears and rim crushers.

The types of equipment we sell are used to take tires or tire chips and make them smaller.  Tires may be cut in half or quarters for disposal in a landfill, or ground to 2 inch chips for tire derived fuel for power houses.  Bead wire may be removed prior to other operations to reduce the amount of steel in the end product.  Tire chips may be further reduced in size to make playground material (1/4 inch) or taken on down to crumb rubber where the particles are the size of table salt or smaller.

The cost of tire recycling equipment varies widely with the intended use.  A used machine to remove the sidewalls from tires may cost a few thousand dollars.  A tire shredder may cost as little as $50,000 or $60,000 for a machine that will handle small volumes of passenger tires up to half a million dollars or more for a machine that will process large volumes of truck tires.

The United States generates about 300 million used tires every year.  Call Unlimited Resources Corporation to discuss your needs and let us guide you in the purchase of a single machine or an entire tire reduction system.
