The tire shredder's main equipment is the doublt shaft shredder,our two shaft shredders are designed with an aggressive low RPM, high torque shredding technology. The shredder blade thickness ranges from 25 mm to 152 mm (1”-6”) depending on the type of tires, throughput, and desired end product. The customized biggest shredder can process OTR tires, large truck tires, and car tires at a rate of up to 20 tons per hour.
What Is a Mobile Tire Shredder ?
A mobile tire shredder is a complete tire size-reduction system — shredder, trommel screen, conveyors, and control panel — pre-assembled and mounted on a transport platform. Unlike stationary shredding plants that require a fixed building and utility connections, a mobile unit can be driven or towed to any location with adequate ground clearance and a power supply.
You need a mobile tire shredder if:
Your tires are collected or stockpiled at multiple dispersed locations (tire dealers, depots, municipalities, mining sites)
The cost of transporting whole tires to a fixed facility is eating into your recycling margins
You need a fast-deploy solution for a government tender, cleanup contract, or disaster-response tire disposal program
You want to offer on-site tire shredding as a service to waste management clients
You're processing large OTR or mining tires that are too heavy to transport economically
If all your tires already arrive at a single facility, a stationary Tire TDF Plant may be a more cost-effective choice. Optima offers both — our team will help you choose.
Portable shredder applications
Optima’s tire shredders are built for high-efficiency processing of scrap tires and provide the following recycling benefits:
Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF): Produce 50x50 mm TDF chips that can be used as alternative fuel in cement kilns and industrial burners.
Wire-Free Mulch: Convert tires into 18-30mm wire-free rubber granules and steel wire for use in gardens, playgrounds, horse arenas, and pyrolysis applications.
Rubber Granules: Process the rubber into 1-6mm rubber granules for making mats, runways, and playground flooring.
Rubber Powder: Further crush rubber granules into fine rubber powder for use in construction and transportation applications.
Optima offers a comprehensive range of tire recycling machines to suit every step of the process, from shredding to final product, ensuring cost-effective and efficient solutions for end-of-life tires.
How Optima's Mobile Tire Shredder Works
The system operates as a self-contained shredding unit in three integrated steps:
Step 1 — FeedWhole tires are loaded into the hopper — manually, by forklift, or via an integrated conveyor feed system. Tires up to 1,200mm (truck size) can be fed whole; OTR tires larger than this may require pre-cutting (available separately).
Step 2 — Shred & ScreenThe double-shaft shredder engages the tires with high-torque, low-RPM counter-rotating blades, tearing the material rather than cutting it — this approach minimizes heat generation and blade wear. Material passes through the integrated trommel screen, which retains oversized pieces and recirculates them for a second pass until all output meets the 50×50mm TDF specification.
Step 3 — DischargeShredded TDF chips discharge from the output conveyor into a collection pile, walking floor trailer, or bulk bag system for direct onward shipment to end-users (cement plants, energy facilities).
