Apparatus for, and methods of, disposing of tyres

摘要

Methods and apparatus for disposing of tyres are disclosed. The apparatus (30) may be mounted on a support structure at the mounting formation (34) of a body member (32). A cutting assembly (46) is adjustably supported by a bracket (48) of the body member. The cutting assembly has a shaft that is axially and rotatably displaceable relative to the bracket, a control member (52) at one end of the shaft, and a cutting unit (53) for cutting the tyre at the other end of the shaft. The control member effects positional variation of the cutting unit relative to the body member.
