A tire shredder is a large machine that is designed specifically to shred old tires. Shredders offer business opportunities because tire rubber can be used in a variety of products, from playground surfaces and lightweight construction fill to road paving and landscape mulch.
*Tires for a shredder
Before you can shred tires, you need to first find the tires you want to shred. There are two ways to do this. The easiest way to get tires is if you happen to work in the automotive industry, because you have to replace your tires at some point, but you also have to leave them unused until you have enough money to properly dispose of them.
Another way to get tires is to get in touch with any business that has tires. Communicate with the owner and arrange to dispose of the tires for them at a lower cost than other disposal services, and you can even dispose of the tires for free.
Instead of simply disposing of the tires, you can use a tire shredder to make a profit, which not only creates income but also protects the environment.
*Tire shredder to make tire crumbs for resale
There are different grades of shredded tire products on the market. Tire shredders are very strong and durable, and can also be adjusted so that you can sell the shredded rubber particles directly from the shredder.
With a quality tire shredder, you can simply put your car and truck tires into the feeder and the tire shredder will do the rest including sizing, cleaning, and creating the quality product your customers want.
Some tire shredders are specifically designed to shred rubber into pieces and separate the rubber pieces from the smaller steel pieces. You don't have to send it to another shredding service to shred the tires while also reducing the labor required.
This is a quick and easy way to collect tires around your customers' homes or workplaces and make some extra money. This prevents tires from ending up in landfills. Most, if not all, industries tend to look for quality tire crumbs to better aid and improve their processes and products. This will give you a lot of options to sell tire crumbs and find the nearest buyer.
* Making Concrete from Shredded Tires (from Tire Shredders)
The rubber crumbs obtained from shredded tires using tire shredders can be used to make recycled rubber roads.
Researchers say that rubber concrete has more than 90% less crack formation than regular concrete. The polymer fibers in tire crumbs improve the elasticity of concrete, making it more durable and long-lasting.
*Coal Alternative Fuel for Cement Production
The connection between cement and rubber is fairly complex, but cement companies have been burning rubber in the cement production process for over 20 years.
This is another use for tire shredders. Once the tires are shredded, the rubber shreds are sent to the cement kiln, which is good for everyone because cleaner cement fuel can be used and no tire waste is generated.
*Secondary products from tire shredders can be used as follows:
Check your industry and community connections as a first place to resell recycled tire materials. Some companies may want you to have a tire shredder on site and shred the material to their specifications, while others have a tire shredder on site and take the entire tire off your hands.
Here are some places where tire shredders are sold:
Civil Engineering Projects and Construction Backfill
Shoe Manufacturers

It is very easy to use these shredders and make money from them because shredded tires are in high demand. All you need is a tire supply, a tire shredder, and customers who buy your shredded rubber.
