Is the Yuxi Tire Rubber Granule Recycling System Reliable? Full Breakdown of Processes, Profits & Equipment
Description: How does the Yuxi Tire Rubber Granule Recycling System achieve pollution-free waste tire recycling? This article details the 3-stage crushing-separation process, core equipment parameters, product applications, and selection advantages, plus profit logic for waste tire recycling projects.

Do You Really Understand Waste Tire Recycling? The Core Value of the Yuxi System
As “black pollution” from waste tires piles up, the Yuxi Tire Rubber Granule Recycling System is transforming them into “green resources” — it’s a fully automated production line centered on physical room-temperature processes. It can handle all tire types (passenger car, truck, construction machinery, etc.) while simultaneously producing three high-purity products: rubber granules, recyclable steel, and clean fiber. With zero exhaust gas or wastewater emissions throughout, it perfectly solves the pollution pain points of traditional recycling.
3-Stage Process Breakdown: How Waste Tires Become Fine Rubber Granules
The system’s “crushing → separation → granulation” process is precisely tailored to the material properties of waste tires, enabling efficient sorting and purification:
Step 1: Primary Crushing (Double-Shaft Tire Shredder) — “Break Tires into Blocks”
- Core Task: Crush intact waste tires (including steel wire and fiber) into uniform 50-60mm rubber blocks to prepare for subsequent separation;
- Equipment Technical Details:
◦ Blade Options: ASTM A681 H13 (high wear resistance) or JIS SKD11 (high hardness) blades, suitable for tires of varying hardness (e.g., construction machinery tires);
◦ Screening Design: Built-in rotating screen — small fragments flow directly to the next stage, while large fragments are re-crushed to avoid “size mixing” that increases separation difficulty;
◦ Maintenance Design: Perforated anti-slip stairs + operating platform, compliant with OSHA safety standards for easy maintenance.
Step 2: Steel Wire Separation (Tire Rasper + Magnetic Separator) — “Separate Rubber and Steel Wire”
- Core Task: Further crush 50-60mm rubber blocks into 10-20mm rubber chips, while completely separating steel wire from rubber;
- Equipment Technical Highlights:
◦ Separation Process: Patented “peeling-type rasping” technology (unlike traditional “crushing-type” methods) — steel wire is separated as intact strips (not fine chips), increasing recycling value by 20%;
◦ Auxiliary Configuration: ASTM D2 (impact resistance) or JIS DC53 (wear resistance) blades, paired with IEC 60034-compliant reducers, improving operational stability by 40%;
◦ Maintenance Optimization: Automatic hydraulic opening/closing system — the device can be opened in 1 minute to inspect blades and the working chamber, saving 80% of time compared to traditional manual disassembly.
Step 3: Rubber Granulation (Granulator + Fiber Separator) — “Grind Chips into Granules”
- Core Task: Grind steel-free rubber chips into 1-8mm fine granules and remove 99.9% of fiber impurities;
- Equipment Technical Details:
◦ Particle Size Control: Multi-stage grinding + circular screening system — can be customized to 1mm (sports fields), 5mm (garden bedding), 8mm (asphalt modification), etc., based on needs;
◦ Power Configuration: NEMA MG 1-compliant motors, with power adapted to 5-50 tons/day production capacity;
◦ Purity Guarantee: Specialized fiber separator uses dual “air + screening” processes — 99.9% fiber removal rate, so rubber granules can be directly used in high-end scenarios.

Equipment Efficiency Comparison: What Makes the Yuxi System Stand Out?
When evaluating a 10-ton-per-day waste tire processing line, the Yuxi system outperforms ordinary recycling equipment in key metrics:
- Double-Shaft Shredder Output Uniformity: The Yuxi system produces 50-60mm rubber blocks with over 95% uniformity, while ordinary equipment yields 30-80mm blocks with less than 70% uniformity — this consistency reduces downstream processing complexity.
- Steel Wire Separation Purity: The Yuxi tire rasper achieves nearly 100% separation, with steel wire purity exceeding 98%; ordinary equipment only reaches 85-90% separation, leaving rubber impurities in the steel wire.
- Fiber Removal Rate: The Yuxi granulator removes 99.9% of fiber, while ordinary equipment only removes 80-85% — high fiber purity ensures rubber granules meet high-end application standards.
- Continuous Operating Time: The Yuxi system runs stably for 20 hours daily (compliant with NFPA 79 safety standards), while ordinary equipment often stops due to jamming, limiting operation to 12 hours per day.
Product Value: How Broad Are the “Rebirth” Scenarios for Waste Tires?
After processing by the Yuxi system, the three products have clear application scenarios and economic value:
- Rubber Granules (1-8mm)
◦ High-end Scenarios: Artificial soccer field infill (priced at around $280 per ton) and plastic running track raw material ($260 per ton);
◦ General Scenarios: Playground safety flooring ($210 per ton) and garden green space bedding ($170 per ton);
◦ Industrial Scenarios: Modified asphalt additive ($230 per ton) and rubber molded product material ($310 per ton). - Steel (Steel Wire)
◦ This product is directly recyclable for steel production, with a market price of approximately $430 per ton — 1 ton of waste tires typically yields about 0.1 tons of steel wire. - Fiber
◦ Used for building material filling and eco-product raw material, it sells for around $110 per ton; 1 ton of waste tires produces roughly 0.05 tons of fiber.

Why Is the Yuxi System the Top Choice for Waste Tire Recycling?
Beyond technical and product advantages, the system stands out for its adaptability and economic efficiency:
- Full Tire Compatibility: It can efficiently process 14-inch passenger car tires, 1200R20 truck tires, construction machinery OTR tires, and more — equipment parameters are adjustable to match different tire types.
- Customizable Capacity: Production lines can be configured for 5, 10, 20, or 50 tons of daily processing capacity, fitting both small-scale and large industrial projects.
- Fast Return on Investment: For a 10-ton-per-day line, using a rubber granule price of $260 per ton and steel wire price of $430 per ton, annual profit ranges from $280,000 to $420,000, with a payback period of 1.5 to 2 years.
Industry Pain Point Solutions: Differentiated Advantages of the Yuxi System
Traditional waste tire recycling has three key pain points: severe pollution, low product purity, and unstable profits — the Yuxi system addresses these specifically:
- Pollution Pain Point: It abandons traditional processes like high-temperature pyrolysis and chemical dissolution in favor of room-temperature physical processing. There are no VOC emissions or wastewater, so it meets European and American environmental compliance requirements.
- Purity Pain Point: Through “3-stage separation + dual screening” technology, rubber granules achieve 99.9% purity. Steel wire and fiber have no cross-contamination, so all products meet industrial recycling standards.
- Profit Pain Point: All products are marketable, and customized granule specifications enable access to high-end application scenarios — this boosts profits by 30-50% compared to ordinary recycling projects.
- Practical Case Reference: On-Site Performance of the Yuxi System
A European environmental protection enterprise using a 10-ton-per-day Yuxi recycling system reported these 1-year operational results:
- It processed 3,000 tons of waste tires annually, reducing “black pollution” land use by about 1,200 square meters.
- It produced 2,600 tons of rubber granules, 300 tons of steel wire, and 150 tons of fiber, with an annual net profit of approximately $350,000.
- The equipment failure rate was less than 5%, and a single maintenance cost only $800 — 20% lower than expected.
