Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter

Benefits of the Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter

Gradeall is a world-class manufacturer of tyre recycling machinery and waste disposal equipment. The Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter has been developed in response to strong consumer demand, and stands apart from other machines on the market with the following key benefits:

• Capable of processing up to 120 tyres per hour.
• Cuts the sidewall from the tyre in just 20 seconds.
• Easy to manoeuvre on-site with a forklift.
• Single-person operation.
• Hands-free cutting system with a foot-operated cut cycle to ensure operator safety.
• Spare parts available directly from us, the manufacturer.

With a Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter in place, you can significantly enhance the waste tyre disposal process at your business. Tyres are prepared and ready for shredding, and metal recovery from the tyre bead becomes considerably more accessible — streamlining your overall tyre recycling operation.

How to Cut a Tyre with the Tyre Sidewall Cutter

The Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter is a relatively simple machine to operate, specifically designed for single-person use with a foot pedal mechanism to initiate the cut cycle.

The operator loads a car tyre onto the side of the machine and presses down on the foot pedal. The hands-free mechanism draws the tyre towards the cutting blade, which separates the sidewall from the main body of the tyre. The machine uses a motor-driven cutting blade and a pneumatic clamping arm for optimal performance.

The Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter has a compact footprint and can be seamlessly integrated into your site layout. It can be transported around your premises using a forklift, allowing you to position it wherever it is needed. It is a compact machine, but one whose performance defies its size.

Safety Designed into This Tyre Cutting Machine

The Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter has been designed with heightened safety features to protect the operator at every stage — from the hands-free mechanism to the foot-operated pedal. These features enhance the productivity of your workforce whilst providing a safe and efficient method for streamlining your tyre disposal process.

A car tyre sidewall cutter will provide your business with the following benefits:

Protects the Tyre Shredder

Tyre sidewalls have a metal bead on the inside edge, which is used to secure the tyre against the rim — particularly important when cornering, as the lateral forces involved would otherwise cause the tyre to slide off the rim.

However, due to the demanding role the bead performs, it is understandably constructed from tough materials including brass, copper, and predominantly steel. It is this steel wire that poses the greatest challenge, as it can cause significant damage to shredder blades.

Separating the sidewall from the tyre protects the shredder blade from accelerated wear when processing tough materials. A further benefit is that isolating the bead allows for easier scrap metal recovery than would otherwise be possible.

Generate More Compact Bales

Removing the sidewall from a tyre also allows for more compact bales, as the bead is what gives a tyre its structural shape. Removing the bead eliminates this shape memory effect, allowing baler operators to compress more tyres with ease in a machine such as the MKII Tyre Baler. The remaining sidewalls can also be baled separately, resulting in a more efficient overall car tyre recycling process.

An improved baling system will also benefit your business by reducing transportation and labour costs. Loading more tyres into containers makes the process considerably more efficient, reducing the number of journeys required to transport waste tyres to recycling centres.

Environmental Impact of Tyre Recycling

There is an increasing expectation for businesses to demonstrate a duty of care when managing their environmental impact, particularly when dealing with waste car tyres. With a tyre sidewall cutter, you can meaningfully enhance the recycling efforts of your operation.

There are many uses for reclaimed rubber from waste tyres — the agriculture sector can use separated sidewalls to weigh down silage pit covers, whilst the material can also be repurposed into a range of products such as pencil cases, playground surfacing, carpet underlay, road surfacing, and building construction materials.

Increasingly, innovative uses are being found for waste tyres. The UK is striving to ensure that 100% of tyres are repurposed in some way, and your business can play its part by facilitating tyre recycling with the Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter.

Making Tyre Debeading Faster, Simpler and More Efficient

The Car Tyre Sidewall Cutter makes the tyre debeading process considerably more effective, allowing you to cut the sidewall out of tyres and be left with more manageable, easier-to-recycle pieces of waste tyre material.

You can also explore our Tyre Rim Separator, which is designed to remove tyres from steel or alloy rims, providing an additional avenue of income through valuable scrap steel or alloy metals.
