In standard scrap tire recycling equipment setups, processing 900-1200mm heavy truck tires requires specific preliminary steps. The bead of these truck tires contains bundles of thick, high-tensile steel wire. Feeding these whole tires directly into a tire shredder causes severe mechanical stress and chip damage to the shredder’s alloy blades.

To mitigate this blade wear and reduce maintenance downtime, a tire bead wire extractor is installed upstream. By physically pulling out the steel wire before shredding, facilities can achieve cleaner rubber output and isolate the scrap steel for separate processing.

Operational Mechanics of the Steel Wire Drawing Machine

The Shuliy SL-TWE series operates as a heavy-duty hydraulic steel ring drawing machine. The mechanical process relies on linear hydraulic force rather than manual cutting.

The operator places the tire onto the machine’s retaining baffle. A specialized alloy hook engages the inner tire ring. Upon activating the hydraulic pump station, the cylinder retracts with consistent force. As this steel wire drawing machine pulls the bead, the rubber casing fractures naturally due to the compression against the baffle, separating the clean steel wire bundle from the tire frame without excessive rubber adhesion.

Technical Specifications: Single vs. Double Hook Models

To accommodate different production scales, Shuliy Machinery manufactures two primary configurations for this truck tire debeader.

1. SL-TWE-S: Single Hook Tyre Pulling Machine

The SL-TWE-S is designed for medium-scale recycling plants requiring steady throughput with controlled power consumption. As a single hook tyre pulling machine, it extracts the wire from one side of the tire at a time. The operator manually flips the tire to process the second side.

• Motor Power: 11 KW
• Capacity: 20-30 tires per hour
• Machine Weight: 1,400 kg
• Dimensions (L×W×H): 4.1 × 0.7 × 1.7 meters
• Integration: Suitable for feeding standard Rubber Powder Production Lines.

2. SL-TWE-D: Double Hook Tire Debeader

The SL-TWE-D is built for high-capacity continuous lines. This double hook tire debeader features a dual-hook system that engages both sides of the tire simultaneously. A single hydraulic action pulls both steel wire bundles at once, effectively doubling the unit’s throughput and reducing manual handling.

• Motor Power: 18.5千瓦
• Capacity: 40-50 tires per hour
• Machine Weight: 1,500 kg
• Dimensions (L×W×H): 4.2 × 0.9 × 1.7 meters
• Integration: Designed to pair with heavy-duty Fully Automatic Tire Recycling Plants.

Component Durability and Maintenance

The structural integrity of a Tyre Debeader Machine depends directly on its hydraulic system and extraction hooks.

The main hooks on the Shuliy equipment are forged from wear-resistant alloy steel. Under standard operating conditions (8-10 hours per shift), the expected operational lifespan of a hook set is 6 to 12 months. Replacement is straightforward and requires standard workshop tools.

The hydraulic station is equipped with pressure regulation and emergency stop controls. Routine maintenance for this Tire Debeader is limited to scheduled hydraulic oil changes and periodic inspection of the cylinder seals to maintain extraction force.

Equipment Selection and Support

Selecting the proper tire bead wire extractor depends on your target daily yield and the capacity of your downstream shredding units.
