Tyre/Tire

The recyclable material that’s in vehicle tires is one of the most undervalued commodities in our resource strained world. But those in the industry know the truth: tire scrap is highly sought after for its noise dampening qualities, thermal insulation, and lightweight properties. Indeed, tire scrap is a versatile and valuable construction material. Shredded tire pieces (also known as chips) are used melted down and used on road surfaces, and also as acoating / noise barrier in walls and floors.

There are also more uses - in countries such as the US, United Kingdom, and New Zealand, entire tire bales are buried, and used as building blocks in embankment fills and road foundations. They are perfect for this use, as they are free draining, gas venting and non-biodegradable– e.g.: they are an ideal, environment-friendly substitute to concrete. Tire waste can also be used as fuel (its burn properties are similar to coal.)

However, a clear problem exists – tires are bulky. Even shredded, they take up a considerable amount of space. This makes transporting and handling them a real chore, not to mention storage. The solution is to bale tires. However, even that becomes a problem, as many baling machines just can’t handle something elastic like a tire.

Sinobaler has addressed this need with two specific baling machines that are not only heavy duty, but ideal for high rebound materials like tires. They are vertical balers that have extra strong compression, helping compress rubberized / high-rebound materials into an easier to handle, compact form. Both machines have increased cooling capacity and heavy-duty hydraulics, and can crush 120 tires into a single bale with just 7 strokes. The standard machine produces 2-3 bales per hour, while the optimized machine produces 3-4. Both are perfect if you are recycling tires.
