Stage 1 – Shredding & Reduction of Tires
The reduction of whole tires down to shreds or chips utilizing A CM Primary Shredder.

Byproducts: Clean cut shreds or chips.

TDF
TDA

Markets

TDF – Tire Derived Fuel

Used as an alternative to fossil fuels. Used primarily in cement kilns, steel mills power plants and pulp and paper mills. Size range: 1″ to 4″ [25 mm to 100 mm].
Benefits: Burns hotter and cleaner than coal or petcoke.

CM Equipment Used for Stage 1

• CM Primary Shredder – Used to make larger cuts or single pass
• CM Chipping Shredder – Used for TDF to make smaller cuts
• CM Chip Shredder – Used for TDF to make smaller cuts
• CM Disc Screen
• Assorted conveyors

TDA – Tire Derived Aggregate

Used as a light weight fill material for civil engineering projects such as: back fill, slope stabilization, embankments, drainage and sound abatement. Size range: 100mm to 400mm [4″ – 16″].
Benefits: Very durable, excellent drainage, reduces vibrations, insulates and lasts a long time.

STAGE 1 (Shredder + Disc Screen = TDF or TDA)

Primary Shredder
(Used to make larger cuts)
Secondary Chipping Shredder
(Used to make clean cut TDF)
Disc Screen
(Used to size material)
Tire shreds from a CM Primary shredder are introduced to the CM Liberator which removes the steel wire from the rubber fraction. Further reduction of the shred into ground wire-free rubber feedstock is accomplished. Clean steel is separated for resale. Fiber is extracted using a dust collection/air system.

By Products: Wire free crumb rubber – 44 mm to 16 mm [1.75” to .625”] Clean steel up to 98 % free of contaminants

MULCH
WIRE-FREE TDF
STEEL
Additional Revenue Stream

Markets

Rubber Mulch

Used for landscaping
Benefits: Deters insects, drains well, water gets to the plants, long lasting, does not fade, blow away or disintegrate, reduces weed growth and reduces soil erosion.

Playground and Equestrian Footing

Used as a loose cover for playgrounds or horse arenas.
Benefits: Softer cushion for falls, long lasting, does not blow away, deters insects, comes in many colors!

Wire Free TDF

Used for waste to energy, pyrolysis or gasification applications
Benefits: Results in high grade carbon char and makes excellent feedstock for syngas and bio-diesel fuels.

CM Equipment Used for Stage 2

Used for waste to energy, pyrolysis or gasification applications
• CM2R Liberator – for smaller operations
• CM4R Liberator – for larger operations
• Belt Magnet
• Steel Reclaim System with drum magnet (recommended for best quality clean steel)
• Assorted conveyors
• Air/dust collection system (optional)

STAGE 2 (Stage 1 Equipment + CM Liberator + CM Steel Reclaim System (recommended) = Rubber Mulch, Loose Playground/Equestrian Footing, Wire Free TDF and Clean Steel Ready for Resale)

The Granulator can accept 25 mm `{`1“`}` wire-free crumb rubber and process it down to 4 mm rubber granulate. At this stage, screens are used to size the material and an air system is used to extract the fiber.

Products: Crumb Rubber

FIELD TURF

ARTIFICIAL TURF
POUR IN PLACE SURFACES
RUBBER MOLDED PRODUCTS

Markets

Artificial Turf

Rubber crumb placed between the blades of synthetic grass. Used in soccer, baseball and football fields globally.
Benefits: Softer for falls, lasts a long time, less maintenance than a grass field, drains quickly for a drier, cleaner playing surface.

Pour in Place Surfaces

Used for running tracks, rubber tiles, pour in place surfaces, landscaping, and mats.
Benefits: Excellent drainage, lasts a long time, can be colored, less maintenance, very durable, absorbs impacts from trips and falls.

Rubber Molded Products

Used for running tracks, rubber tiles, pour in place surfaces, landscaping, and rubber mats.
Benefits: Excellent drainage, lasts a long time, can be colored, less maintenance, very durable, absorbs impacts from trips and falls.

CM Equipment Used for Stage 3

Used for waste to energy, pyrolysis or gasification applications
• CM Granulator
• Air gravity table with de-stoner
• Multi deck screen for sizing material
• Drum magnet
• Assorted conveyors

STAGE 3 (Stage 1 Equipment + Stage 2 Equipment + CM Granulator, Air gravity table/destoner, multi-deck screen and drum magnet = 4 mm crumb rubber for artificial turf, pour in place surfaces and rubber molded products)

The Dual Drive Crackermill will accept 4-8 mm crumb rubber and further process it into fine powders ranging from 10 to 80 mesh. The final stage in tire recycling, this stage produces clean rubber powder.

Products: Fine rubber powder

Rubberized Asphalt and Molded Rubber Products

Markets

Rubberized Asphalt

A unique blending of powdered tire rubber, aggregate and special binders make for exceptional roadway and other paving projects.
Benefits: Exceptional drainage, resistant to freezing temperatures, quieter than traditional paving, less cracking over time, uses less thickness than traditional asphalt, safer for the driver.

Injection Molded Products

The rubber powder is mixed with a binding agent to mold into a wide variety of new products such as auto parts, shoe soles, exercise mats, and is also used in building construction for the reduction of vibration or sound absorption on both floors and flat roof projects.
Benefits: Durable, lasts a long time, binds with a wide range of different polymers, used in many industries.

CM Equipment Used for Stage 4

• CM Dual Drive Crackermill
• Final sizing screen
• Bagging station(s)
• Assorted conveyors

STAGE 4 (Stage 1 Equipment + Stage 2 Equipment + Stage 3 Equipment + CM Dual Drive Crackermill and Final Screening system = 10 – 80 Mesh Rubber Powders used for Rubberized Asphalt, and Molded rubber products)
