Tire Steel Wire Separator, Rubber Wire Separator, Waste Tire Recycling Equipment
Rubber & Tire Steel Wire Separator – The Ultimate Solution for Clean, High-Purity Rubber Recovery
Product Overview
The Rubber & Tire Steel Wire Separator is the core piece of equipment in any waste tire recycling production line. Engineered for the precise and thorough separation of rubber from steel wire, this machine solves the critical industry challenges of residual steel contamination and low rubber purity.
Designed to process a wide variety of scrap tires and rubber materials, it uses advanced mechanical separation to produce high-grade rubber granules and clean, recyclable steel wire. It is an essential asset for recycled rubber processing, solid waste recovery, and the renewable resources industry.
Core Application
This equipment is the key to unlocking the full value of waste tires. It performs a refined stripping process on pre-treated tire material, completely removing all internal steel wire impurities.
-
Output: Produces pure rubber granules ranging from 1–15mm in size.
-
End-Use: The finished rubber is ideal for recycled rubber products, rubber mats, waterproof building materials, and more.
-
Steel Wire Recovery: The separated steel wire is clean, free of rubber residue, and ready for direct recycling and reuse, maximizing the economic value and resource utilization of waste tires.
Working Principle
The separator operates on a mechanical stripping principle. Pre-treated tire rubber chunks are fed into the separation box, where rotating cutter discs equipped with specialized hooks and blades engage the material. The mechanical action efficiently tears and strips rubber away from the embedded steel wire. Rubber granules fall through the screen or discharge outlet, while clean steel wire is expelled separately. The system's precision design ensures complete separation without damaging either output material.

A: The mechanical stripping system achieves a 100% separation rate, meaning no steel wire remains in the rubber output, and no rubber adheres to the recovered steel wire.
Q2: What size rubber granules does it produce?
A: The machine produces rubber granules ranging from 1mm to 15mm, suitable for various recycled rubber product applications.
Q3: What is the processing capacity?
A: Available models offer capacities from 1 to 6 tons per hour. The specific output depends on the selected model and feed material characteristics.
Q4: Can this machine process all types of waste tires?
A: Yes. It is designed to process pre-treated rubber chunks from various tire types including passenger car tires, truck tires, and industrial tires after preliminary shredding and cutting.
Q5: What is the power consumption of the separator?
A: Power requirements range from 18.5kW to 55kW depending on the model. Choose the appropriate power configuration based on your production capacity needs.
