Tire Recycling Equipment & Complete Solutions for U.S. Operations
Built for tire collectors, recycling facilities and processors looking to reduce scrap tire volume, improve handling efficiency and produce valuable recycled materials. ENERPAT provides scalable tire recycling solutions from scrap tire baling and shredding to steel separation, crumb rubber production and complete recycling plants.
Managing Increasing Scrap Tire Volumes Requires the Right Recycling Solution
Across the United States, scrap tires continue to arrive at collection yards, repair shops and recycling facilities, creating ongoing pressure on storage space, transportation efficiency and material recovery operations. The U.S. generates approximately 280 million discarded tires every year. Managing this growing volume requires more than simply storing or transporting waste tires. Businesses need efficient solutions to:
Reduce loose tire storage volume
Lower transportation costs
Improve material recovery efficiency
Convert scrap tires into valuable recycled materials
ENERPAT provides standalone machines and complete tire recycling systems configured around your tire type, processing capacity and target output.
Scrap tires that do not enter controlled collection and recycling channels may be stockpiled, illegally dumped or sent to unsuitable disposal sites. How ENERPAT Helps By reducing tire volume, improving transportation efficiency and converting scrap tires into reusable rubber and recovered steel, ENERPAT helps businesses reduce storage pressure and produce marketable materials for downstream applications.
Wasted Material Value
Recoverable rubber and steel are lost instead of being returned to productive use.
Higher Storage Costs
Loose tires occupy substantial space and increase handling and transportation demands.
Environmental and Safety Risks
Uncontrolled stockpiles can collect standing water, attract mosquitoes and increase tire fire risks.
Long-Term Cleanup Costs
Tire fires and illegal dumping may release pollutants into the air, soil and water, resulting in costly remediation.
Tire Recycling Process
From Scrap Tires to Valuable Recycled Materials
Tire Baling
Whole tires are compressed into dense, uniform bales to reduce storage space and improve truck or container loading.
Tire Shredding
Whole or pre-cut tires are reduced into consistent tire chips for downstream steel recovery and rubber processing.
Steel Separation
Grinding, screening and magnetic separation release and recover embedded steel while producing cleaner rubber feedstock.
Granulation
The cleaned rubber is refined into uniform granules or crumb rubber for sports surfaces, rubber products and modified asphalt.

ENERPAT Tire Recycling Equipment
Scrap Tire Baler The ENERPAT scrap tire baler compresses whole passenger, truck and select OTR tires into dense, uniform bales, helping you reduce storage volume and load more tires per truck or container.
Key Advantages: ✔ Achieves a 70%–80% compaction ratio ✔ Strong Hydraulic Pressing Ram ✔ Wear-resistant Construction ✔ Uniform Force Distribution ✔ Handles Diverse Tire Types
Best For: Tire dealers, collection centers, waste tire haulers, transfer stations and regional storage facilities.
Dual-Shaft Tire Shredder The ENERPAT MSB-ETY1600 dual-shaft tire shredder is built for heavy-duty volume reduction and pre-processing of scrap tires. It shreds whole tires into pieces smaller than 50 × 100 mm, preparing consistent feedstock for TDF production, pyrolysis and further rubber recycling.
Key Advantages: ✔ Processes a Wide Range of Scrap Tires ✔ Low-Speed, High-Torque Dual-Shaft Cutting ✔ Long-Term Operation with Minimal Downtime ✔ Supports Multiple Downstream Applications ✔ Operator-Friendly PLC Control System ✔ Fully Automated Operation
Best For: Tire recycling facilities, TDF producers, pyrolysis plants and rubber recycling operations.
Tire Steel Separator The ENERPAT tire steel separator combines grinding, screening and magnetic separation to remove embedded steel from tire chips and rubber scrap. It recovers valuable steel while producing cleaner rubber feedstock for downstream granulation.
Crumb Rubber Granulator The ENERPAT crumb rubber granulator processes pre-shredded tire material into uniform crumb rubber below 5 mm. Installed after primary shredding and steel separation, it refines rubber feedstock into cleaner, consistently sized particles.
Key Advantages: ✔ Dual-Motor Drive System ✔ Adjustable Screening System ✔ Smart PLC Control System ✔ Low-Noise, Low-Dust Design
Best For: Crumb rubber producers, tire recycling facilities, rubber product manufacturers and processors supplying sports surfaces, rubber flooring and modified asphalt markets.
Complete Tire Recycling Plant The ENERPAT tire recycling plant integrates shredding, steel separation and granulation into one complete processing line. Its modular design allows you to start with the equipment you need and expand capacity as your business grows.
Best For: Investors, new tire recycling facilities and established recyclers seeking scalable, end-to-end processing solutions.
Valuable Materials Recovered From Tire Recycling The right recycling process can turn scrap tires into marketable materials for fuel, construction, metal recycling and rubber manufacturing.

FAQ
Q: Which tire recycling equipment does my business need?
A: The right equipment depends on your feedstock, required capacity and target output. Tire collectors and haulers may only need a baler for storage and transportation. Facilities producing tire chips may require a shredder, while crumb rubber production generally requires shredding, steel separation, screening and granulation.
Q: Can ENERPAT equipment process passenger, truck and OTR tires?
A: ENERPAT can configure equipment for passenger tires, light truck tires, commercial truck tires and selected OTR tires. Oversized or heavily reinforced tires may require pre-cutting, sidewall cutting or debeading before shredding. The final configuration should be based on the maximum tire dimensions and construction.
Q: What output materials can a tire recycling system produce?
A: Depending on the selected processing stages, the system can produce compressed tire bales, tire chips, recovered steel wire, clean rubber feedstock, crumb rubber and rubber powder. These materials can be supplied to TDF producers, pyrolysis plants, metal recyclers, construction companies and rubber product manufacturers.
Q: Can I start with one machine and expand later?
A: Yes. ENERPAT can supply standalone equipment or configure a modular recycling system. You can begin with tire baling or primary shredding and add steel separation, screening and granulation equipment as your processing volume and target markets grow.
Q: What information is needed to configure a tire recycling solution?
A: To recommend the right equipment, ENERPAT will evaluate your tire types, maximum tire dimensions, required hourly throughput, target output size, available site space, feeding method, power supply and intended end market.
