Columbus McKinnon Installs 12,000lbs/hour Tyre Shredder

Back in September Columbus McKinnon Corporation, Sarasota, Florida installated of one its tyre recycling systems at B.A.S. Recycling, Inc. in Moreno Valley, California. This multi-stage system is capable of processing passenger car, truck tyres and super single truck tyres at production rates of 12,000 lbs. or more an hour.

The Size Reduction Stage consists of a CM Primary Shredder with screening capabilities to produce a 4 to 6-inch tyre chip feed stock that is fed to a CM Liberator for the next stage of the process. The Steel Liberation Stage (SLS) is designed to receive the 4 to 6 inch tire chips and utilizes a CM4R Liberator. Once the steel and rubber are liberated the system sorts the rubber and clean wire. Clean steel is sold to a steel mill and the rubber fractions are passed on for further processing through a screening system. Material ideal for mulch market is screened out, while the balance of the material is sent to a surge bin for processing in the cryogenic system.
