Eldan Recycling offer standard and special systems depending on customer requirements in regards to e.g. type of input tyre, production capacity and output size/quality. The systems have capacities ranging from 1,500 - 8,000 kg/production hour. These systems are also the starting point when tailoring solutions to customers.

Tyre shred production

An Eldan Tyre Shredding System (an A-line) turns the whole tyre into tyre shreds (50-300 mm). As an example: including one of our larger pre-choppers (Super Chopper SC-1412) capacities up to 10-12 ton/production hour can be reached processing car tyres and up to 6-8 ton/production hour can be reached processing truck tyres.

Tyre chip production

An Eldan Tyre Chip Production System (a B-line) turns tyre shreds (e.g. from the A-line), pre-cut tyres or passenger tyres into tyre chips. As an example: including a large Rasper (Multi Purpose Rasper MPR160 with Ø60 mm screen) pre-chopped tyres/tyre shreds (max. size of 300 mm) can be turned into 2” chips (50mm chips) at approx. 5 ton/production hour.

An Eldan Tyre Chip Production System (a C-line) turns whole passenger tyres into tyre chips at the same time liberating up to 98% of the steel content. As an example: including a large pre-chopper (Super Chopper SC1412) and a large Rasper (Multi Purpose Rasper MPR160) a mix of passenger car tyres (75%) and truck tyres (25%) can be turned into up to <50 mm chips at approx. 5 ton/production hour.

Rubber granulate production

An Eldan Granulation and Separation System (an D-line) turns the whole tyre into a high quality rubber granulate, textile and steel. As an example: pre-chopped car and truck tyres (size: 50-300 mm) can be turned into 1–4 mm rubber granulate (99,9% free of liberated steel and textile) at approx. 4 ton/production hour. If desired, the rubber granulate can be further downsized or pulverized. The steel can be further cleaned (up to 99% clean steel wire with a density over 0,7).

An Eldan Granulation and Separation System (an E-line) turns the whole tyre into a high quality rubber granulate, textile and steel. As an example: processing car and truck tyres at 8 ton/ production hour 1-4 mm rubber granulate (purity up to 99,9%), textile and steel (purity up to 96-98% and a density of approximately 0,3) can be produced. If desired, the rubber granulate can be further downsized or pulverized. The steel can be further cleaned (up to 99% clean steel wire with a density over 0,7).

Eldan Recycling has developed a "small" capacity recycling system which give our customer a flexibility out of the ordinary - to process tyre, cable or/and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). We introduce to you the Eldan Multi Function-plant (E1500).

The Eldan tyre plant, E1500T is a simplified version of our larger tyre recycling plants. Like other Eldan solutions, this system is of modular design, which enables the possibility to add on to the system if required.

The system is simple, yet very effective, in order to minimize the number of machines and also space required.  The E1500T only needs one operator for running the plant and one operator for handling the input tyres and and the output rubber granulate, textile and steel. The operation costs are low, due to the simple plant layout and the maintenance friendly machine design. The E1500T is the solution if you are looking for a less space-requiring, lower capacity tyre recycling plant.

The E1500T can process almost all types of tyres. As an example: processing truck and car tyres a 0-4 mm rubber granulate (95 – 99% free of liberated steel and textile) can be processed at approx. 1-1.5 ton/production hour.

If it is required to simplify the plant further, the Super Chopper and the inlet conveyor can be removed. The plant Is then called D1500T, and can process whole car tyres and pre-shredded truck tyres.

If required, it is possible to further increase the capacity of the E1500T plant by upgrading it to an E4000T. The E4000T-upgrade includes adding a pusher, a stronger pump station, an additional Fine Granulator and a Classifier, buffer silos TBF and V4, among other additional machines. The E4000T can process up to 4 tons/processing hour, and produce an output of rubber granulate, 99.9% free of liberated steel wire and textile.

The E1500T can easily be modified to a tyre and cable recycling plant. By adding additional separation and classifying equipment it is possible to design the E1500 plant to be able to process tyres or cables in the same plant. The additional gravity separation table will separate the heavy copper granulate from the lighter plastic fraction from the cables. It only requires cleaning of the plant and diversion of the transport in the system to change from processing tyres to processing cables in the same Eldan E1500TC Multi function recycling plant.

It is possible to extend the E1500TC to also being able to process WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) input as well as tyres and cables. As for the above described cable extension, the same plant can be expanded with the addition of a heavy duty Granulator and Eddy Current Separator and transports and the plant will now be able to process almost any type of input of tyres, cables or WEEE scrap materials.

This really shows the flexibility and advantage of the Eldan modular recycling plant concept. You could say that there are almost no limits for possible plant solutions, meaning that Eldan Recycling is able to fulfil any recycling requirements.

As a complement to the standard Eldan tyre recycling systems, we offer optional modules to better suit your production requirements.

The Car Tyre Feeder automatically ensures a continuous feeding of the Super Chopper. The tumbling effect reduces the content of foreign bodies in the tyres. The feeding capacity of the Car Tyre Feeder is 5-6 tyres/production hour, and it can contain approximately 10-50 car tyres at the same time (depending on the type of machine).

Due to the growing demand for cleaning of the steel we have developed systems to meet specific customer requirements for upgrading of the steel fraction originating from Eldan Tyre Recycling Plants. The Steel Wire Cleaning Systems reduces the rubber content in the steel fraction down to 3-5%. The systems will be dimensioned and balanced to meet specific customer demands. Purities of 95 - 99% will be obtainable all depending on the system chosen. Three different solutions are offered as standard. Read more here.

The Rubber Quality Upgrading system ensures ultimate purity of 99,99% of the main size and under size rubber fraction. This will also result in a virtually black granulate/powder, also known as black gold.

The Eldan Powder Plant meets customer and market demands for powder down to 50 Mesh.

Within tyre recycling the main objective has been to purify the rubber granulate. There is, however, also a substantial amount of steel wire in tyres, which previously has been overlooked in terms of a re-sellable material. Due to the growing demand for cleaning of the steel, Eldan has developed systems to meet the specific customer requirements for cleaning and upgrading of the steel fraction originating from tyre recycling. There are two systems offered – an inline solution and a “stand-alone” solution. The systems remove the textile and rubber residues from the steel, making it a high quality steel fraction.

The In-Line Systems are designed to be placed in-line with an existing Eldan tyre recycling plant, screening the outlet steel from the plant. The quality of the cleaned steel depend on size and purity of the input steel wire. As an example; if the input steel is up to 20mm in size containing 15-20% rubber and textile, the output fraction is approx. 94-95% clean steel wire (density 0,3) processing at 2,5-3 ton/production hour. Benefits with this system is low running costs (due to screening process), minimal operator control and naturally a high quality steel output.

The Stand Alone System include a Multi Purpose Rasper and Screening System. The output purity and capacity depend on the type of rasper and screen used. The system can be placed either in-line with the tyre recycling plant or it can be operated as a separate unit. As an example: including a medium size Multi Purpose Rasper (MPR160) and cleaning up to 50 mm steel wire (containing up to 30% rubber & textile) approx. 98-99% clean steel wire (density 0,7) can be obtained at a capacity of 2 ton/production hour. Benefits with this system is a high density steel output, high quality steel output and minimal operator control.
