Getting PAID: You make money by being paid to take in whole tires as well as by selling your shredded tires. Dont think you will make money if youre not receiving cash for the whole tires. Permits: You will need a permit in order to process tires in your state or country. This typically means you will also need to carry certain amounts of liability insurance. Site Requirements: You will need to have a site for your new business identified before you can get a permit. Most operations are on an 2-3 acres (0.8 to 1.2 hectares). If you choose to have your processing operation inside, the ideal building would have a ceiling height of at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) and an area of 10,000 to 75,000 square feet (930 to 7500 square meters) depending on your operational throughput (number of tires processed per year) and the final output products you intend to make. Equipment Needs: It takes more machinery and will cost more per ton to make smaller products. The smallest size you can accomplish with one shredder is 2 minus TDF (40-50mm chips). If you want to make 1 (25mm) material, you will need at least two shredders. If you want to remove the steel from the rubber chips, you may need additional equipment. If you want to make crumb rubber or rubber granules, you will need more than just one machine to accomplish this task. Cost of Equipment: Tire shredding systems to make chips start at $500,000 USD. Tire shredders only start at $100,000 USD. You will not be able to make small chips with just a shredder. You will need a shredder, a screen and some conveyors to make chips, which is why systems are more expensive than shredders only. Transportation: Dont forget that it will cost you to transport both whole and shredded tires. Position your site accordingly. Budget Extras: You will need to include a budget for consumable parts and material handling equipment in your business planning phase. Many people forget this and it will cost them in the end. Also, it is good to plan at least 6-9 months worth of operating capital in initial budgeting because it may take that long to turn a profit as a start-up business.

Patented ACLS system provides more inward force than the shredder can produce in outward force, which cannot be accomplished with the threaded clamp-nut designs found on many other shredder designs. The significance of this is that it keeps the cutters and spacers tight on the shafts, which not only improves cutter life but also minimizes the possibility for materials to work in-between the cutters and seize them to the shafts, making cutter set maintenance procedures much easier to complete.
Patented SSP system protects the shredders electric motor and gear reducer from catastrophic damage by acting like a clutch and allowing the motor output shaft to slip when there is an event that causes the shredder shafts to stop quickly, like a non-shreddable material in the cutting chamber. Slippage of the coupling (clutch) is monitored by the shredders PLC and the machine will reverse itself automatically if the coupling sensor detects too much slippage. Automatic reversing in conjunction with clutch slippage is done to both protect the shredder drive and to re-orient the material, which provides the shredder with a better chance of processing the material without additional clutch slippage. Proprietary cleaning fingers keep material from building up or wrapping between the cutters over the top of the spacers the shafts. In tire shredding applications, hardfacing material is applied to the cleaning fingers have proven to extend the useful life of these consumable parts by upto 40% depending on the shredder and processing conditions. SSI shredders also employ a floating cleaning finger design, which allows these parts to be re-used when cutter sets are exchanged or replaced individually if needed. Modular cutting chamber design: allows for removable and replaceable sidewalls in the event that you want to change the length of your shredder (i.e. reconfigure a primary shredder to become a chipping shredder) or if your sidewalls wear in time, you do not need to replace the expensive parts of your shredder frame. Water misting system is incorporated into the shredder hopper, and typically has 3-4 spray nozzles. It is plumbed to a single connection point so that it can be connected to a feeder hose. The purpose of this is system is to reduce dust during the dry months and also to lubricate the cutters and material, which can improve cutter life in a tire application by 20-30%.

Unique bearing protection: SSI shredders employ a false wall design (we call them splashplates) that takes the impact and abrasion abuse produced by the material during the shredding process. These walls are set inward of the gearbox and endplate on the shredder by several inches. The open area between the splash plates and the bearing cavities is called the drop zone, which provides an area for any material that passes between the shaft and the gearbox or endplate wall to fall out of the bottom of the machine before reaching the bearing cavity. In the event that any material does make in into the bearing cavities, SSI has designed a proprietary labyrinth and mechanical seal arrangement that will prevent the material from reaching and damaging the bearings. Direct drive design: SSI does not use a mechanical gear reduction design inside of the shredder gearbox. Instead the gear reduction is accomplished via planetary gear reducer outside of the shredder gearbox, making field maintenance possible. In-direct designs, found on other types of shredders, require maintenance personnel to empty the shredder gearbox oil and dis-assemble key components just to gain access to the gears when they need inspection. This is a significant process and will require significant downtime to accomplish. By contrast, the SSI design incorporates a removable plate on the top of the gearbox and direct access to the drive and driven gears for inspection (without having to drain the gearbox oil or replace seals). Our larger shredders do not have any gears inside the shredder gearbox at all; gear reduction on that equipment is accomplished externally with planetary gear reducers. Cutter design: Cutter hook design and diameter are critical when building tire shredders. The hook design affects the shredders ability to grab, pierce and chop the tires. The diameter must to be adequate to create geometry in the cutting chamber that will optimize the shredders ability to capture the material as well as maximize useful component life. Improper shredder configurations can lead compression related componentry failures, which can happen when the thickness of the folded tire exceeds the distance between the sweep of the cutter and the opposing shaft. Other issues arising from improperly designed cutters include the inability of a shredder to grab hold of materials its trying to process and reduced cutter life-span. Control system: All of our systems include fully integrated controls that are driven by PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and most are modem equipped so that we can perform on-line diagnostics and troubleshooting from our factory in Wilsonville, Oregon. This gives you the ability to add equipment into our systems or change the operating characteristics of a system if you have a need to reconfigure a device (like your screen) or service a new end market. There is a common Operator Control Panel (OCP) that allows for single-button system starting and stopping. The OCP also includes AMP meters for the shredder motor(s) and a HMI screen to facilitate system maintenance and local diagnostic needs. Each component in a system can also be manually started in a maintenance mode if needed. The PLC monitors the shredders, motion of the conveyors and (in some cases) performance of the system. In addition, we can a tire counter on the feed conveyor (can be mounted on the conveyor or on the OCP) so that you can easily keep track of system performance. There are other components that are commonly used in conjunction with our shredders to complete a tire shredding system solution. These generally include conveyors, magnet(s) and screen(s). We can provide more information about our recommendation for these components after we understand your project needs because there are different combinations and configurations available to optimize specific application requirements (like particle size, footprint, throughput, etc.)
