The processing of scrap tires requires reliable and efficient equipment. Positioned as a crucial second step in a semi-automatic recycling line, following the tire sidewall cutter, the tire strip cutter’s performance directly impacts the throughput and profitability of the entire operation. This machine is engineered to convert whole tire treads into uniform strips, preparing them for the subsequent cutting and granulation stages.

Engineered for Performance and Durability

Our Tire strip cutting machine is not just another piece of tyre recycling equipment; it is a meticulously designed solution based on core engineering principles for waste tire processing. The following analysis of its technical data demonstrates its capability.

Robust Construction for Unmatched Stability

The operational stability of a cutting machine is paramount. With a net weight of 850 kg and a compact footprint of 1.3m x 0.8m, the machine’s mass is concentrated in its heavy-duty steel base and frame. This substantial weight is a deliberate design choice to dampen vibrations during the cutting of steel-belted radial tires, ensuring consistent strip width and significantly extending the machine’s service life.

Optimized Powertrain for High-Torque Cutting

Effective cutting of tire rubber, embedded with steel wires, demands high torque, not high speed. Our system utilizes a 5.5 KW motor paired with a robust gear reducer, delivering a final blade speed of 45 r/min. This low-speed, high-torque configuration provides the necessary shearing force to process tough materials without stalling or overheating. While the theoretical capacity reaches 1000 kg/h, a practical and sustainable operational output is estimated at 600-800 kg/h, depending on tire type and operator efficiency. This makes it an ideal tire slitter machine for steady production.

Cost-Effective Blade System

Consumable costs are a major factor in recycling operations. The dual circular knives on this machine are forged from a specialized hard alloy steel (e.g., Cr12MoV or equivalent). The key economic advantage is that the blades support repeated grinding. Instead of costly replacements, the cutting edges can be re-sharpened to restore performance. A single sharpening cycle is rated to process approximately 1200 steel-wire tires (passenger car tire equivalent), making it a highly economical choice for semi-auto rubber powder production line.

Anatomy of the Tire Strip Cutting Machine

Understanding the function of each component reveals the machine’s robust design.

• Motor: Provides the primary power for the entire system.
• Reducer: Crucial for converting the motor’s high speed into low-speed, high-torque output.
• Gear & Protection Cover: Transmits power to the main axis while the cover ensures operator safety.
• Upper & Down Knife: A pair of hardened alloy circular blades that perform the shearing action.
• Main Axis: A solid, hardened steel shaft that holds the knives and withstands immense cutting forces.
• Base: The heavy foundation that provides stability and absorbs operational vibrations.
