The correct disposal of end-of-life tires (ELT) or used tires is an important and complex issue. FORREC produces waste tire recycling plant machinery such as tire shredders and tire granulators for the treatment of used tires in order to obtain three different types of waste reduction:
- Reduction in size (shredded tire crumbs): ideal for reducing volumes, facilitating warehousing and energy production, waste becomes an alternative source of fuel.
- Grinding up to 20 mm (chips) separating iron and textile fibers. In this case, the material can be used for thermal treatment or as a substrate in civil and industrial works
- Secondary raw materials (crumb rubber 0-4 mm): 99% pure; this material is ideal for application in anti-shock flooring, compounds and mixtures for asphalt, urban furnishings, insulation and sound absorbing panels.
