Wear management solutions for tire shredders - Waste and Recycling - Recycling Systems
In landfills, tyres do not decompose for hundreds of years, occupy a lot of space and also represent a substantial fire risk. Using tyres as a fuel is promising, but transport to incinerators may be too costly. For all these reasons, tyres are often shredded prior to dumping or incineration or for re-use as rubber crumb. Rubber crumb is increasingly applied in roadbuilding -rubber asphalt or ‘whispering’ asphalt - or as a resilient base for running tracks, tennis courts.
The customer wanted to replace his multi-wire solution with one hardfacing wire that was capable of a multiple pass build-up of 12 to 20 mm without cracking. Customer’s previous solution included buildup of 7018 and two separate capping wires that cracked when applied in multiple passes. Steel belts in the tires wear into the cracks causing spalling and premature wear. Our EnDOtec DO*327 multiple pass build-up capability and high hardness met the customer’s requirements and provided a single source solution.
