METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SHREDDING WORNOUT TIRE CASES

摘要

The proposed method of shredding worn out tyre casings involves subjecting t he tyre casings to explosive action which is created inside a closed ring-shape d system to produce a directional circulating stream of explosion products. Th e proposed device comprises a chamber (1 and 2) and a pipe duct (3 and 4) whic h together with the chamber forms a closed ring-shaped system. The chamber has a section in the form of a truncated conical casing (1) which houses shredding elements (7) and a unit for securing the explosive (13). The section of the conical casing (1) with the smaller diameter communicates with one end of th e pipe duct (4) via a valve in the form of, for example, a grid formed by plat es (7) in the region of the smaller base. The other end of the pipe duct (3) communicates with the chamber (1 and 2) on the side of the section of the conical casing (1) with the larger diameter.
