Tires shredder

All you need for 10 tire shredders is two boxes of mower blades used for hay, wheat, oats, etc., bought at any farm supply store. TlMy come in Iwxes of 10 for under tS.OO. Two boxes will give you 10 shredders which, after braxing, shouldn t cost more than about 125.00. 

There are basically two types of tire shredding equipment in conunercial use, the solid cutter shredder and the replaceable cutter tire shredder [18,19]. Both of these machines shear a whole tire to produce a chip with a fixed size in one dimension, but to control the oth chip dimension, additicmal passes through the chipper may be required. 

The second type of tire chipper is the replaceable cutter tire shredder. This is a low-speed shear shredder specifically designed for tires. The principle cutting feature is shown in Hgure 6.6. Note the addition of star-shaped feed rolls that force the individual tires, one at a tinK, into the cutting zone. As the tires are fed into the cutting zone, the cutters engage them with a true shearing action.

The process is used on petroleum sludges, used tires, biomedical waste, automobile shredder residues, bark residues and municipal solid wastes. It is limited to treating organic wastes and contaminated soil. For soil contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), vacuum pyrolysis cannot destroy the PCBs but will concentrate them in the pyrolytic oils. The process cannot be used to treat mine tailings.

When A-R is applied, the applicator usually obtains crumb rubber from the shredder company that is geographically closest to the project site. Since there are a limited number of crumb rubber shredders, scrap tires may not originate from the community buying the A-R application. If, for example, a city or state buying an A-R application is located outside the 200 to 300 mile radius of the crumb producer who is providing the crumb rubber, it is likely that their own scrap tire supply is not being consumed. 

When asphalt-rubber (wet process) is applied to pavements, the tires come from the neighborhood of the nearest shredding/grinding facility. Because A-R is a patented material, there are only a limited number of shredding companies that supply rubber for this process. Some state government officials have indicated concern about whether waste tires from their own state can be used, as opposed to those tires near the present shredders, which might be located in another state. 

Energy required to produce smaller sizes of rubber pieces increases exponentially.7 For example, about 40 Btu s are required to produce one pound of 6-inch TOF, while 750 Btu s are required to produce a pound of 1-inch TDF.7 From a general cost perspective, 2-inch TDF, wire-in TDF, can cost as little as 20/ton, whereas crumb rubber (wire-free, from 20-30 mesh) averages 160/ton.7 Capital costs, of course, vary according to capacity. A shredder that can chip 100 tires/hr into 2-inch TDF costs about 50,000 larger machines (1000 tires/hr capacity) can cost 500,000.7...

Rotational speeds are very low, in most cases ranging between 50 and 200 RPM. The low-speed hydraulic motors develop very high torques on the shafts, providing considerable shearing power to the cutting discs. This power makes shear shredders effective in difificult-to-cut materials. This equipment has been used to shred materials such as metals, truck and car tires, wood, pallets, bulky objects, and electrical and electronic devices, for example, in relatively coarse particle size. On the contrary, they are not capable of shredding materials into fine size (less than 10 mm). The main advantage of shear shredders is that... 

These shredders are suggested for protecting your property from people who trespass Just for the bell of it, to steal or to attack you. Unlike nails, which may not take effect for several yards, or even a mile or so as the air leaks out, the shr ders cut through tires as if they were butter. The result is immediate and the quarry is demoralized and at your mercy. 

The two main disadvantages of the solid cuttm shredder are that it was not specifically designed for tires and thus tends to tear the tire rather than shear or cut it. and sectmdly the sharpness of the cutter edge tends to deteriorate rapidly. This can be overcome with the use of harder steels however they are more costly.
