An apparatus and a method fractionate solid fuels, especially whole tires, into metal as well as volatiles and coal to be used as alternative fuels. The apparatus includes a feeding zone wherein the solid fuels are fed to the apparatus, a gasifying zone into which the solid fuels are processed, obtaining a gaseous fraction, coal, and metal; cooled grills controlling the bed permeability and permanence time of the solid fuels at the gasifying zone; and a discharging zone into which the resultant coal and metal are discharged, in which the solid fuel coal and solid and gaseous fractions follow a path inside the apparatus through the feeding zone, the gasifying zone and discharging zone, and in which the gases inside the apparatus follow a path that is co-current with the solid fuel fractions path inside the apparatus.
