Looking for a tire recycling shredder for sale?YG Machinery provides a high-efficiency dual-shaft system that turns scrap tires into rubber chips or granules for recycling. It uses two counter rotating shafts with heavy cutters to tear tires apart at low speed but high torque, handling steel belted tires without jamming. Compared with ordinary single shaft shredders or imported alternatives, the YG tire shredder offers core advantages such as stable operation, low energy consumption per ton, long blade life, and factory-direct pricing.

What Makes This waste tyre recycling machine Reliable?
1. Accepts whole tires directly
No pre-cutting or debeading for most car and light truck tires up to 20 inches. Feed them as they are, saving labor and extra equipment. This simplifies the entire front-end process and reduces the need for additional machinery.
2. Low speed, high torque design
Runs at only dozens of RPM, preventing jamming and using about 30 percent less electricity per ton than high-speed granulators. The low speed also reduces wear on internal components, which means less frequent maintenance and longer service life for the machine.
3.PLC auto-reverse system
Monitors load continuously. When a jam occurs, it automatically reverses, clears the blockage, and resumes operation without stopping the line. No manual cleaning is needed during normal production, so one operator can easily run the whole system.
4. Long blade life
SKD-11 alloy blades last 2,000 to 3,000 tons of car tires before needing rotation or replacement. A spare set minimizes downtime, and the blades can be rotated multiple times to extend service life. This keeps blade replacement costs low over the machine’s lifetime.
5. Multiple output sizes with one machine
Change the screen mesh to produce 40 mm chips for rubber mulch, 60 mm for landfill cover, or 80 mm for tire-derived fuel. One rubber tire shredder machine serves different customers and markets, giving recyclers the flexibility to adapt to changing demand.
6. Clean steel wire recovery
The process releases steel wire from rubber. A magnetic conveyor removes over 99 percent of the wire, creating an extra revenue stream from what was once waste. The recovered steel can be sold directly to scrap metal buyers or steel mills.
Case Study: YG tire recycling shredder for sale in Africa
Client Background:
A medium sized tire recycling company in a West African country processes approximately 15–20 tons of end of life car and light truck tires per day. The company supplies rubber chips to a local cement plant (for tire derived fuel) and a playground mulch manufacturer. Before working with YG Machinery, they relied on a locally assembled single shaft shredder that could not reliably handle steel belted tires. The owner, Mr. Ibrahim, decided to look for a more robust industrial solution.
Core Pain Points:
- Frequent jamming: The old shredder jammed several times a day because steel wires wrapped around the shaft. Each jam required manual cleaning, causing production stops and higher labor costs.
- Low throughput: The machine could only process about 1 ton per hour, far below the target of 3–4 tons per hour needed to meet customer demand.
- Short blade life: The low grade steel blades wore out after less than 500 tons of tire input, leading to frequent replacements and high maintenance costs.
- Inconsistent output size: Without a screen mesh, the shredded rubber ranged from fine chips to large chunks, making it difficult to sell to TDF buyers who require uniform 50–80 mm chips.
Solution:
YG Machinery supplied a YG 1200 waste tyre recycling machine (3–5 t/h) with a magnetic conveyor. The machine accepts whole tires up to 16 inches, uses a low-speed, high-torque design with SKD 11 blades and 40Cr shafts to handle steel belted tires without jamming, and features PLC auto reverse to clear jams instantly. A screen mesh allows producing 80 mm or 40 mm chips as needed, while the magnetic conveyor recovers steel wire for sale.
Application Results:
Higher efficiency: The YG 1200 now processes an average of 18–22 tons per day, nearly doubling the output of the old machine. Jams occur less than once per week, and the auto reverse clears them automatically.
Lower operating cost: The SKD 11 blades have lasted over 2,500 tons of tire input and are still in good condition – more than five times the life of the previous blades. Energy consumption per ton is about 30% lower than that of the old high speed shredder.
Customer Testimonials:
“The YG industrial tire shredder is the machine we should have bought from the beginning. It runs all day without jamming, the chips are uniform, and the steel wire comes out clean. YG Machinery is the right choice.”
— Mr. Ibrahim, tire recycling plant owner, West Africa
