There is a medium-sized tire recycling plant in Łódź, Poland, with around 30 employees, processing over 600 tons of waste tires per month. The factory originally had two shredding lines, but its core shredding equipment was seriously outdated and required frequent repairs, affecting overall output. Last year, they introduced one tire chipper to replace the old machine on one line, while keeping the other line as backup. After the new equipment was put into use, the daily processing capacity of this production line increased from 15 tons to 22 tons, and the failure rate dropped significantly.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Customer Requirements
Thomas, the production supervisor of the factory, listed three main requirements before purchasing:
- The equipment must be able to run continuously for a long time. The old machines often suffered from motor overheating or shaft jamming in the afternoon, causing downtime. They needed a more durable tire crusher machine.
- It must handle a wide variety of materials. The tires recycled by the factory include car tires, truck tires, and occasionally a small number of engineering tires. The old equipment performed poorly when processing steel beads in truck tires. They hoped the new tire crusher machine could handle tires of different sizes without frequent adjustments.
- The output size must be stable. Downstream customers have strict standards for rubber particle size (mainly 5–8 cm, no more than 10 cm). The old equipment often produced large pieces over 12 cm, which required manual sorting and reprocessing, wasting labor.
These three issues directly affected the plant’s production capacity and profit margin.
Why YG Tire Chipper Is the Right Choice
We introduced several advantages of the YG-1200 industrial tire shredder to Thomas. First, it features dual-shaft independent drive, low speed and high torque, making it less likely to overload or shut down when processing steel wires in truck tires. Second, the cutting blades are made of Cr12MoV cold work die steel with a four-sided rotatable design — each blade edge can be used four times, reducing replacement frequency. Third, the machine is equipped with a PLC control system and automatic reverse function for overload protection. When materials are too large or too thick, the shafts automatically reverse for a few seconds and then resume forward rotation to avoid jamming.
Production Benefits of YG Tire Chipper
After six months of operation, the factory recorded the following data in four aspects:
- Production performance: running 15 hours per day (two shifts), the actual processing volume reached 85–100 tons, equal to 5.5–6.5 tons per hour. Capacity increased by about 30% compared with the old equipment, basically meeting the factory’s order demands.
- Output effect: about 90% of shredded rubber pieces are 5–8 cm in size, with less than 5% over 10 cm, so no reprocessing is needed. The steel wire separation rate reached approximately 94% after magnetic separation, and downstream customers praised the stable quality.
- Energy efficiency: processing one ton of tires consumes about 38 kWh of electricity. At Poland’s industrial electricity price, the electricity cost per ton is around 15 euros. The new machine saves about 10 kWh per ton compared with the old one, cutting monthly electricity costs by roughly 500 euros.
- Blade durability: The machine processed about 3,000 tons of tires in total over six months. Thomas commented that the blade life of this tyre shredding machine for sale was basically consistent with YG’s promise.
Social and Economic Benefits of the Tire Crusher Machine
Economically, after the equipment upgrade, the plant’s monthly processing volume increased and labor costs for rework decreased, leading to a clear rise in monthly net profit. In addition, with stable output quality, the factory secured new long-term customers and achieved higher prices for rubber granules. Socially, the new equipment produces less noise than the old one, improving the working environment for workshop staff. Dust emissions also meet local environmental standards, helping the factory pass its annual inspection smoothly. Thomas believes this tire chipper has helped the plant achieve stable production growth while reducing environmental concerns.
