Recycling facilities shred and clean used tires to prepare them for reuse. Conveyors help move used tires through the recycling process.
Flat idler, slider bed, trough idler, and roller chain conveyors are all popular tire conveyors:
Are pulley-driven rubber belt conveyors. The belt is supported by a series of idlers that roll beneath it. Idlers improve load weight distribution and reduce belt friction. Flat idlers transport tires over longer distances and feed whole tires or large rubber chunks into shredders.

Are pulley-driven conveyors that support the belt with a smooth, flat slider bed. They generate smooth movement and contain minimal components that could get jammed by crumb rubber. After tires have been shredded into smaller pieces, slider bed conveyors perform many of the transfer and feeding functions in the tire recycling process.

Are sprocket-driven conveyors in which modular belts are attached to heavy-duty roller chains that run the length of the frame. Roller chain conveyor belts are usually metal, providing exceptional impact and abrasion resistance for loading zones. Roller chain conveyors transfer whole tires to initial shredders.

Specialized conveyor belts enhance material handling throughout the tire recycling process:
Flat belts perform general conveyance between stations and recycling equipment. In earlier stages of tire recycling, they might have 2–4 plies for extra durability and weight management. Later on, smooth top slider bed belts transfer small rubber chunks and crumb as it is broken down and cleaned.
Here’s how used tires become new rubber products:
Crumb rubber can become turf for filling gaps or padding athletic fields, molded rubber products, and tire-derived fuel. Recycling tires reduces the environmental impact of sending rubber to landfills and using raw materials.
We make conveyors for recycling tires. We also make conveyors for all other industries and materials.
