Application Showcase: Rubber Shredding & Sorting

Apr 30, 2025 | Rustin Ross

The rubber shredding and sorting process begins with the preparation stage, where tires or scrap rubber are inspected and pre-treated to remove metal, fabric, and other contaminants. This is followed by primary shredding, in which the cleaned rubber is chopped into smaller chunks using heavy-duty cutting blades. The material is then sent through secondary shredders or granulators to further reduce it to a uniform size suitable for recycling. Finally, the shredded rubber is sorted using screens and various separation techniques, such as air classification and magnetic separation, to eliminate any remaining impurities, ensuring that the end product is clean and ready for reuse in new manufacturing processes.
