REUSE supplies tire shredders for processing passenger car tires, truck tires, and other waste tires. Our shredders use low-speed, high-torque cutting to reduce whole tires into controlled tire shreds for TDF production, volume reduction, and further rubber recycling.
We offer tire shredders for sale in different sizes and capacities. The suitable tire shredding machine is selected according to tire size, required throughput, final shred size, and downstream processing requirements.
Tire Shredder for Sale
Our tire shredder for sale range covers small and medium recycling projects as well as high-capacity industrial tire processing plants. Different models are available for whole passenger tires, truck tires, and other scrap tire materials.
A stand-alone tire shredder can be used for primary size reduction or TDF production. Screening, conveying, magnetic separation, granulation, and grinding equipment can also be added when smaller and cleaner rubber products are required.

The models above cover different tire sizes and processing capacities. Actual output depends on tire type, feed condition, required shred size, screen configuration, and operating conditions.
Industrial Tire Shredder
An industrial tire shredder is designed for continuous waste tire size reduction where high torque, stable throughput, and durable cutting components are required. It is commonly used as the primary machine in TDF plants, tire recycling facilities, rubber granule production lines, and other waste tire processing systems.
For truck tires and high-capacity projects, larger shredding chambers and higher motor power can be selected. Smaller models are suitable for passenger tire processing and lower-capacity recycling operations.
Tire Shredding Equipment Features
- High-torque cutting – Low-speed cutting shafts provide strong tearing force for whole tires and thick rubber sections.
- Multiple capacities – Different tire shredding equipment configurations are available for small, medium, and high-capacity projects.
- Controlled shred size – Screening and material return systems can be used to control the final tire shred size.
- Heavy-duty blades – Replaceable cutting components are designed for continuous tire shredding and routine maintenance.
- Stable transmission – The drive and reduction system provides the torque required for processing tough tire materials.
- Easy integration – The shredder can be connected with conveyors, magnetic separators, raspers, granulators, and rubber grinding equipment.
How Does a Tire Shredder Work?
During tire shredding, whole tires or pre-processed tire sections are fed into the shredding chamber. Rotating cutting shafts grip, tear, squeeze, and cut the tires into smaller pieces.
- Waste tires are fed into the tire shredder.
- The cutting shafts rotate at low speed and apply high torque to the tires.
- The blades tear and cut the tires into smaller shreds.
- A screen controls the required output size when fitted.
- Oversized material is returned to the shredding chamber for another cutting cycle.
- Qualified tire shreds are discharged by conveyor for TDF production or further recycling.
For many recycling projects, shredding tires is only the first processing stage. If the required product is rubber granules or powder, the tire shreds are processed further through steel separation, granulation, fiber removal, grinding, and screening.
What Materials Can a Tire Shredder Process?
The machine is primarily designed as a rubber tire shredder for passenger car tires, truck tires, commercial tires, and other waste tire materials within the rated input size of the selected model.
Depending on material dimensions and composition, some models can also be used as heavy-duty rubber shredders for suitable industrial rubber waste. Machine selection should always be based on the actual feed material.
Waste Tire Shredder Applications
TDF Production
A waste tire shredder can reduce whole tires into controlled shreds for tire-derived fuel used in cement kilns and suitable industrial energy applications.
Volume Reduction
Shredding waste tires reduces material volume and makes transportation, storage, and further handling easier.
Tire Chip Production
Primary tire shreds can be processed further into smaller rubber chips with additional size reduction and steel separation.
Rubber Granule Production
The tire shredder can serve as the first stage before rasping, granulation, magnetic separation, and fiber removal.
Rubber Powder Production
After primary shredding and granulation, the rubber can be further ground and screened into crumb rubber or fine powder.
Pyrolysis Feed Preparation
A scrap tire shredder can reduce tires into smaller feed material when the downstream pyrolysis system requires pre-shredded tires.
Tire Shredder or Complete Tire Recycling Line?
A tire shredder is suitable when your required product is rough tire shreds or when downstream processing equipment is already available. For clean rubber chips, granules, crumb rubber, or powder, additional recycling stages are required.

How to Choose a Tire Shredder
When selecting a tire shredder machine, the most important factors are tire type, maximum tire size, required capacity, final shred size, and downstream application.
For example, a project producing large TDF shreds requires a different configuration from a system preparing material for rubber granules or powder. Screening, conveying, and separation equipment should therefore be selected together with the shredder according to the final product.

Tire Shredder FAQ
What is a tire shredder?
A tire shredder is an industrial size-reduction machine that tears and cuts whole waste tires into smaller tire shreds for TDF production, recycling, transportation, or further rubber processing.
What size tires can tire shredders process?
The maximum tire size depends on the shredder model and shredding chamber. Different machine configurations are available for passenger car tires, truck tires, and larger tire materials.
What output size can a tire shredding machine produce?
Output size depends on the shredder model and screen configuration. Larger shreds are suitable for primary reduction, while controlled sizes can be produced for TDF and downstream recycling.
Do tires need to be debeaded before shredding?
The required pretreatment depends on the tire type, shredder configuration, and final product. Some recycling processes remove bead wire before shredding, while other systems are configured to process whole tires directly.
Do I need a tire shredder or a complete recycling line?
If the required product is rough tire shreds, a tire shredder may be sufficient. Rubber granules and powder require additional steel separation, granulation, fiber separation, grinding, and screening equipment.
