Off-The-Road (OTR) tyres present unique challenges in recycling due to their massive size and complex construction. Gradeall’s OTR tyre processing equipment provides specialised solutions for mining, construction, and agricultural operations managing these giant tyres weighing up to 600kg each.
Comprehensive OTR Solutions
The OTR Tyre Cutting Equipment Range addresses every aspect of large tyre processing. Our OTR Tyre Splitter cuts tyres in half along the tread section, enabling debris removal and facilitating subsequent processing stages. The complementary OTR Shear reduces segments to manageable sizes for efficient handling and transportation.
Advanced Cutting Technology
Processing OTR tyres requires exceptional cutting force and precision. Our OTR Tyre Sidewall Cutter isolates the bead section, which can be problematic for traditional shredding equipment. The specialised design accommodates various tyre sizes whilst maintaining consistent cutting quality and operator safety.
Foam-Filled Tyre Processing
Mining and construction operations frequently use foam-filled tyres for puncture resistance. These present additional challenges due to the polyurethane filling. Our cutting equipment incorporates features specifically designed for foam-filled tyre processing, enabling effective separation of rubber components whilst managing the internal filling material.
Industrial Applications
OTR tyres serve critical roles in heavy industry before requiring disposal. Mining operations use massive tyres on haul trucks and excavators, whilst construction sites deploy them on bulldozers and loaders. Agricultural applications include large tractors and harvesting equipment. Each application presents unique disposal challenges that our processing equipment addresses.
Safety Considerations
OTR tyre processing demands exceptional safety measures due to the massive forces involved. Our equipment incorporates reinforced cutting systems, protective operator zones, and emergency shutdown capabilities. Proper training and safety protocols ensure safe operation when handling these challenging materials.
Material Recovery Value
Large tyres contain significant quantities of recoverable materials. Steel reinforcement provides high-value scrap metal, whilst rubber components can be processed into various recycled products. The massive volume of material in each OTR tyre makes effective processing economically attractive for recycling operations.
Technical Specifications
OTR processing equipment operates at higher pressures and forces compared to standard tyre processing machinery. Cutting systems incorporate tool-grade steel components and reinforced frames to handle the substantial loads. Hydraulic systems are sized appropriately for the increased power requirements whilst maintaining precise control over cutting operations.
