Method of separating the components of used tires involves cooling the tire in liquid nitrogen and shattering the fragile rubber to separate it from the carcass components

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The separation method involves cooling the used tire in a bath of liquid nitrogen for between 30 and 180 seconds until the it reaches a temperature of about -120[deg] C or lower so to harden the rubber and obtain a fragile mass. A vertical drop hammer is then used to shatter the rubber mass into a granulate which allows the rubber material to be separated from the steel, ply and nylon. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For separating the components of used tires for the purpose of recycling. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method allows the separation of tire components by solely physical means and provides a rubber granulate for simplified storage and transport.
