Company & History
For more than 45 years, CM Shredders has been dedicated to advancing tire recycling technology. Founded in 1980, CM designs and manufactures equipment built specifically for the tire recycling industry, with systems operating in hundreds of installations across five continents and more than 28 countries.
CM offers a complete line of tire recycling equipment, including primary tire shredders, chipping shredders, Liberators, granulators, fiber removal systems, milling systems, screening systems, and fully integrated turnkey plants. From whole tire shredding to TDF production, steel liberation, granulation, fiber removal, and crumb rubber milling, every system is engineered around the unique demands of tire processing.
Known for patented technology, durable construction, and high recovery performance, CM helps processors maximize throughput, improve material separation, and produce clean, marketable end products. Whether the goal is tire-derived fuel, clean steel recovery, rubber mulch, granulate, or fine crumb rubber, CM delivers complete solutions dedicated to tires.

About CM Tire Shredders / CM Industrial Shredders
CM Shredders stands apart because tire recycling is not just one of many markets we serve. It is our core expertise. For decades, CM has focused on developing equipment and systems dedicated to tires, allowing us to engineer solutions that address the unique challenges of tire processing better than generalized shredding platforms.
A key part of CM’s success was the recognition of the value behind the Holman Patent, a patented knife system that enabled extremely close knife-to-knife tolerances. This innovation allowed processors to produce cleaner, more consistent tire chips with very little exposed steel, helping advance both the tire-derived fuel and tire-derived aggregate markets. When paired with CM’s advanced screening technology, it created a more efficient and commercially valuable process for tire recyclers.
CM continued that innovation with the development of the patented Liberator, a breakthrough in tire wire liberation technology. By efficiently separating steel from rubber, the Liberator helped recyclers convert what had once been a costly mixed waste stream into recoverable, saleable products. That philosophy of maximizing recovery and minimizing waste remains central to CM’s engineering approach today.
From there, CM built a full line of complementary systems for steel reclaim, granulation, fiber removal, milling, and screening. The result is a complete tire recycling platform capable of supporting processors from the earliest stage of size reduction all the way to clean end-product generation. This integrated approach reduces process inefficiencies, improves product consistency, and gives customers a single technology partner for complete plant design and support.
CM equipment is also known for durability, precision, and long-term operating value. Our systems are engineered for the high-wear, high-torque environment of tire recycling and are designed to deliver reliable performance with efficient maintenance and strong recovery results. For processors, that means lower operating costs, stronger uptime, and better profitability over the life of the system.
Most importantly, CM understands that success in tire recycling is not measured only by throughput. It is measured by total recovery, product quality, operating efficiency, and the ability to adapt to changing end markets. That is why CM continues to invest in purpose-built technologies for TDF production, steel liberation, granulation, fiber removal, milling, and screening systems—all dedicated to helping processors extract the maximum value from scrap tires.
