The shredded used tires are separated into their three main raw materials rubber, textile and metal and processed into granulate by a combination of cutting, tearing and crushing.
During fine grinding, rubber powder is produced from the pure rubber granules and ground to the desired size. This takes place in special fine grinding plants. The grit can be chosen; from 0,4 to 0,8 mm.
The fine powder obtained is used as a raw material for various rubber items. For example, it is also used as an admixture for rubber-modified asphalt. The fine grain makes it ideal for adding to new rubber products. The industry has high requirements for recycled rubber: it must be completely pure and uniform in order to be reused.
