“A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it
                    refuses to destroy.” – Recycle!!



 PICS providing you the ultimate solution for recycling
 scrap into valuable commodities year after year, at the
 same time helping to protect the environment.
PICS International
 Tire recycling or rubber recycling is the process of recycling tire that are
    no longer suitable for use.
   These tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of
    waste, due to the large volume produced and their durability.
   Tire is one of the most re-used waste materials, as the rubber is very
    resilient and can be reused in other products.
   Material recovered from waste tires, known as "crumb."
   Tires can be recycled into, among other things, the hot melt asphalt,
    typically as crumb rubber modifier—recycled asphalt pavement.
   Tires can also be recycled into other tires.
WASTE TIRES PROBLEMS
 Tires are not desired at landfills, due to their large
             volumes and 75% void space, which quickly
             consumes valuable space.
Landfill    Tires can trap methane gases, causing them to
disposal     become buoyant, or 'bubble' to the surface.
            This 'bubbling' effect can damage landfill liners
             that have been installed to help keep landfill
             contaminants from polluting local surface and
             ground water.
 Shredded Tires are now being used in landfills,
  replacing other construction materials, for a
  lightweight backfill in gas venting systems,
  leachate collection systems, and operational
  liners.
 Shredded tire material may also be used to cap,
  close, or daily cover landfill sites.
 Scrap Tires as a backfill and cover material are
  also more cost-effective, since Tires can be
  shredded on-site instead of hauling in other fill
  materials.
 Tire stockpiles create a great health and safety
                   risk. Tire fires can occur easily, burning for
                   months, creating substantial pollution in the air
                   and ground.
                  Recycling helps to reduce the number of Tires in
                   storage. An additional health risk, Tire piles
                   provide harborage for vermin and a breeding
Stockpiles and     ground for mosquitoes that may carry diseases.
    illegal       Illegal dumping of scrap Tires pollutes ravines,
   dumping         woods, deserts, and empty lots; which has led
                   many states to pass scrap tire regulations
                   requiring proper management.
                  Tire amnesty day events, in which community
                   members can deposit a limited number of waste
                   Tires free of charge, can be funded by state scrap
                   tire programs, helping decrease illegal dumping
                   and improper storage of scrap Tires.
 Besides being unsightly and taking up valuable
  land space, Tire dumps and stockpiles present
  many environmental concerns.
 When waste Tires are buried they have a
  tendency to “wiggle” their way to the surface
  over time causing problems for landfill sites.
 When Tires are stockpiled above ground they
  form mountainous piles that are at high risk of
  catching fire.
 When fires do break out – usually caused by
  lightening strikes – they can be extremely difficult
  to extinguish, sometimes burning for several
  months.
 Stockpile fires cause pollutants being released
  into the environment.
 Oil as a result of the burning Tires enters the
  groundwater and nearby rivers and thick black
  clouds of smoke full of toxic gases are released
  into the atmosphere.
 Even when fires don’t break out, Tire stockpiles
  are breeding grounds for pests such as
  mosquitoes and rodents.
 Scrap tires are generated when consumers buy new tires for their vehicles or
    dispose of their old vehicles. These are newly generated scrap tires.
   Old scrap tires also enter the recycling chain when they are eliminated from
    existing stockpiles.
   Scrap tires from consumers are collected by generators who are either tire
    retailers or vehicle recyclers.
   Haulers pick up the tires from generators and hand them over to processors
    who convert the tires into crumb rubber, shred rubber, tire-derived fuel and
    other materials that are suitable for end-markets.
   Municipalities can also collect scrap tires, and in certain cases, haul them to
    processors.

                 Application
•Tire        A tire is made of natural rubber (also called virgin
composition       rubber), Stirene-Butadienubber (SBR),
and stages in     Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR), Carbon black, Nylon
                  tire cord, rubber chemicals, steel tire cord and
  recycling       Butyl rubber.
Crumb:
 Rubber Crumb is the material resulting from granulating scrap tires into
  uniform rubber granules. It can be mixed with asphalt for road surfacing and
  making children’s playgrounds.
Reclaimed Rubber:
 Reclaimed Rubber is the recycled old tire rubber.
 It can be used as a substitute of natural & synthetic rubber. It is mixed with
  virgin rubber to further make new tires of automobiles, bicycles and other
  low-cost products like footwear and mats.
 Virgin rubber, 90 percent of which is produced in Kerala is sold for as high Rs
  140-150 per kg.
 Reclaimed rubber is sold for Rs 25-30 per kg and India being one of the
  voluminous reclaim rubber producers, the production is growing by ten
  percent per year.
 With the PICS recycling equipment you will be able to process whole car and
  truck Tires (including super singles) without prior debeading being required.
  You can also process earth mover tires, OTR etc.
 The tire recycling systems offered by PICS is modular systems enabling you to
  invest as much or as little as you wish in the certain confidence that it will
  always be possible to add to the system as required.
 The flexibility of this modular approach means that a large number of
  combinations can be obtained, ranging from a single machines for shreds or
  chips to a complete System for granules.
With the PICS
tire recycling
equipment you
will be able to
process whole
car and truck
tires including
super singles,
earth mover
tires, OTR etc.
 The PICS system is a "multi-size" system, which means that the output size
  easily can be changed by merely changing the screens (i.e. larger or smaller
  holes).

 By production of rubber granulate, flexibility is an very important factor since
  the market demands of various fraction sizes will vary.
Shreds are the largest of
the output material.

The Tires are chopped
down to shreds with size of
50-300 mm in the
powerful PICS single-shaft
Super Chopper.

The maximum size of input
material is approximately
1900 x 550 mm.

Shreds are for example an
useful size when
transporting used Tires.

They need less space, and
therefore the transporting
costs are reduced.
By putting either whole car
Tire or pre-chopped Tires
into the PICS medium-
speed, dual drive Multi
Purpose Rasper chips with
sizes down to
approximately 12 mm can
be produced.

 At this stage it will also be
possible to remove up to
98% of the liberated steel
from the rubber granulate.

 The chips can be used for
TDF (Tire Derived Fuel)
which is a fuel used for
heat plants and cement
owns or for “Equestrian”
(i.e. rubber mixed with
sand or sawdust used in
the horse industry as
ground in the stable or at
the tracks).
The fine-granulation is a two stage
operation which is primarily used
for liberating and removing as much
textile as possible from the rubber
granulates.

This keeps the capacity high since
the textile otherwise will block the
screens and thereby reduce the
capacity.

After the fine-granulation and
separation of steel and textile a
rubber granulate with a purity of up
to 99,9% can be ensured.

The final size distribution depends
upon your specific requirements.

It can for instance be 0,8 to 1,6 mm
and 1,6 to 3,2 mm.

Granulate are for example used for
Rubber Mats and to Moulded
products. It is also used for Sports
fields and Artificial Turfs in for
example soccer, golf and athletic
tracks.
With the above mentioned
granulate from the PICS
tire recycling plants,
powder with sizes ranging
from 10 to 50 Mesh can be
produced in the PICS
Powder Plant.

Mesh is the number of
openings per linear inch of
a screen (i.e. the higher
number, the smaller
particles.

The powder from the PICS
Powder Plant comply with
ASTM D 5603-96.

The powder is for example
used in the asphalt
industry for “Rubber Paved
Asphalt”.

Powder Plant
                 down to 50 Mesh.
 Excluding the use of whole tires, we can categorize the uses of tires in the
  following way:
 Rubber Crumb - Floor mats, belts, gaskets, shoe soles, dock bumpers, seals,
  muffler hangers, shims, and washers.

 Reclaimed Rubber in Vehicles:
 a) Automotive Industry - Crumb (three to five percent) and Reclaimed rubber
  (up to ten percent) is particularly used in automobile tires. However, since the
  volume of tires is very high, the quantity of these rubbers used also goes up.
  New tire industry uses approximately 58 percent of the natural rubber of
  India, including imports of more than 80000 tones (according to ATMA
  figures)
 b) In tire carcasses in substantial volume and other automotive parts
  c) Bicycle tire industry produces a massive 6-7 lakh tires/day, out of which
  more than 80 percent are produced in Ludhiana.
 Molded products – These include mats, hose pipes, conveyor belts, v-
  belts, footwear, tiles, adhesives, sound dampers, rubber sheets,
  battery containers and other rubber molded goods
 Footwear industry - Shoe soles
 Cement Industry - "This is the most perverse use of old tires causing
  only pollution", says Dr. Chakravarty . However, in some countries,
  respective cement industries have developed technology where the
  tire is burnt at a temperature that destroys most toxic emissions, the
  exhaust is scrubbed and filtered and little escapes the cement kiln. The
  usage of tires for burning in cement kilns in India is up to 20000 tones
  per year, according to Imbrose, a small tire trader.
 Retreading – Tires in India are retreaded as much as three to six times.
  One thing to note here is that it’s the truck tires that are retreaded,
  and not the car tires. There are 100-odd firms engaged in tire
  retreading in India with prominent names being MRF, Apollo, ELGI,
  Midas and Indag.
 Whole tires are used as highway crash barriers, furniture, boat
  bumpers on marine docks, etc but it is a negligible amount.
 Land filling or burning tires for energy has limited prospects as
  environmental authorities are acknowledging the need for its greener
  alternatives.
 On the other hand, mass-market end products like continuous rolls of
  cost-effective recycled rubber used for noise insulation now complete
  the 'big picture' for investors to consider recycling tires commercially.

  • 2. “A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy.” – Recycle!!  PICS providing you the ultimate solution for recycling scrap into valuable commodities year after year, at the same time helping to protect the environment.
  • 4.  Tire recycling or rubber recycling is the process of recycling tire that are no longer suitable for use.  These tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to the large volume produced and their durability.  Tire is one of the most re-used waste materials, as the rubber is very resilient and can be reused in other products.  Material recovered from waste tires, known as "crumb."  Tires can be recycled into, among other things, the hot melt asphalt, typically as crumb rubber modifier—recycled asphalt pavement.  Tires can also be recycled into other tires.
  • 6.  Tires are not desired at landfills, due to their large volumes and 75% void space, which quickly consumes valuable space. Landfill  Tires can trap methane gases, causing them to disposal become buoyant, or 'bubble' to the surface.  This 'bubbling' effect can damage landfill liners that have been installed to help keep landfill contaminants from polluting local surface and ground water.
  • 7.  Shredded Tires are now being used in landfills, replacing other construction materials, for a lightweight backfill in gas venting systems, leachate collection systems, and operational liners.  Shredded tire material may also be used to cap, close, or daily cover landfill sites.  Scrap Tires as a backfill and cover material are also more cost-effective, since Tires can be shredded on-site instead of hauling in other fill materials.
  • 8.  Tire stockpiles create a great health and safety risk. Tire fires can occur easily, burning for months, creating substantial pollution in the air and ground.  Recycling helps to reduce the number of Tires in storage. An additional health risk, Tire piles provide harborage for vermin and a breeding Stockpiles and ground for mosquitoes that may carry diseases. illegal  Illegal dumping of scrap Tires pollutes ravines, dumping woods, deserts, and empty lots; which has led many states to pass scrap tire regulations requiring proper management.  Tire amnesty day events, in which community members can deposit a limited number of waste Tires free of charge, can be funded by state scrap tire programs, helping decrease illegal dumping and improper storage of scrap Tires.
  • 9.  Besides being unsightly and taking up valuable land space, Tire dumps and stockpiles present many environmental concerns.  When waste Tires are buried they have a tendency to “wiggle” their way to the surface over time causing problems for landfill sites.  When Tires are stockpiled above ground they form mountainous piles that are at high risk of catching fire.
  • 10.  When fires do break out – usually caused by lightening strikes – they can be extremely difficult to extinguish, sometimes burning for several months.  Stockpile fires cause pollutants being released into the environment.  Oil as a result of the burning Tires enters the groundwater and nearby rivers and thick black clouds of smoke full of toxic gases are released into the atmosphere.  Even when fires don’t break out, Tire stockpiles are breeding grounds for pests such as mosquitoes and rodents.
  • 11.  Scrap tires are generated when consumers buy new tires for their vehicles or dispose of their old vehicles. These are newly generated scrap tires.  Old scrap tires also enter the recycling chain when they are eliminated from existing stockpiles.  Scrap tires from consumers are collected by generators who are either tire retailers or vehicle recyclers.  Haulers pick up the tires from generators and hand them over to processors who convert the tires into crumb rubber, shred rubber, tire-derived fuel and other materials that are suitable for end-markets.  Municipalities can also collect scrap tires, and in certain cases, haul them to processors.
  • 12. Consumers Tire Retailers Vehicle Municipalities Recyclers Haulers Processors Tire Derived Civil Other Rubber Fuel Engineering Products Application
  • 13. •Tire  A tire is made of natural rubber (also called virgin composition rubber), Stirene-Butadienubber (SBR), and stages in Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR), Carbon black, Nylon tire cord, rubber chemicals, steel tire cord and recycling Butyl rubber.
  • 14. Crumb:  Rubber Crumb is the material resulting from granulating scrap tires into uniform rubber granules. It can be mixed with asphalt for road surfacing and making children’s playgrounds. Reclaimed Rubber:  Reclaimed Rubber is the recycled old tire rubber.  It can be used as a substitute of natural & synthetic rubber. It is mixed with virgin rubber to further make new tires of automobiles, bicycles and other low-cost products like footwear and mats.  Virgin rubber, 90 percent of which is produced in Kerala is sold for as high Rs 140-150 per kg.  Reclaimed rubber is sold for Rs 25-30 per kg and India being one of the voluminous reclaim rubber producers, the production is growing by ten percent per year.
  • 15.  With the PICS recycling equipment you will be able to process whole car and truck Tires (including super singles) without prior debeading being required. You can also process earth mover tires, OTR etc.  The tire recycling systems offered by PICS is modular systems enabling you to invest as much or as little as you wish in the certain confidence that it will always be possible to add to the system as required.  The flexibility of this modular approach means that a large number of combinations can be obtained, ranging from a single machines for shreds or chips to a complete System for granules.
  • 16. With the PICS tire recycling equipment you will be able to process whole car and truck tires including super singles, earth mover tires, OTR etc.
  • 17.  The PICS system is a "multi-size" system, which means that the output size easily can be changed by merely changing the screens (i.e. larger or smaller holes).  By production of rubber granulate, flexibility is an very important factor since the market demands of various fraction sizes will vary.
  • 18. Shreds are the largest of the output material. The Tires are chopped down to shreds with size of 50-300 mm in the powerful PICS single-shaft Super Chopper. The maximum size of input material is approximately 1900 x 550 mm. Shreds are for example an useful size when transporting used Tires. They need less space, and therefore the transporting costs are reduced.
  • 19. By putting either whole car Tire or pre-chopped Tires into the PICS medium- speed, dual drive Multi Purpose Rasper chips with sizes down to approximately 12 mm can be produced. At this stage it will also be possible to remove up to 98% of the liberated steel from the rubber granulate. The chips can be used for TDF (Tire Derived Fuel) which is a fuel used for heat plants and cement owns or for “Equestrian” (i.e. rubber mixed with sand or sawdust used in the horse industry as ground in the stable or at the tracks).
  • 20. The fine-granulation is a two stage operation which is primarily used for liberating and removing as much textile as possible from the rubber granulates. This keeps the capacity high since the textile otherwise will block the screens and thereby reduce the capacity. After the fine-granulation and separation of steel and textile a rubber granulate with a purity of up to 99,9% can be ensured. The final size distribution depends upon your specific requirements. It can for instance be 0,8 to 1,6 mm and 1,6 to 3,2 mm. Granulate are for example used for Rubber Mats and to Moulded products. It is also used for Sports fields and Artificial Turfs in for example soccer, golf and athletic tracks.
  • 21. With the above mentioned granulate from the PICS tire recycling plants, powder with sizes ranging from 10 to 50 Mesh can be produced in the PICS Powder Plant. Mesh is the number of openings per linear inch of a screen (i.e. the higher number, the smaller particles. The powder from the PICS Powder Plant comply with ASTM D 5603-96. The powder is for example used in the asphalt industry for “Rubber Paved Asphalt”.
  • 22.  The standard setup includes a Super Chopper, Tumble Back Feeder, Multi Purpose Rasper, Eddy Current Separator, Heavy Granulator, Fine Granulator and a Separation Table.  We have standard plants with capacities ranging from 3.000 - 8.000 kgs/production hour.  This is also the starting point when plants are tailored to suit specific customer requirements.  Within Tire recycling we often talk about Plant A to E. Plant E is the entire line, and Plant A to D are parts of that line. All these plants give different outputs.
  • 23.  A – plant: up to 20.000 kg/ hr * Standard  B – plant: up to 6.000 kg/ hr* plants:  C – plant: up to 5.000 kg/ hr *  D – plant: up to D3000T: 3.000 kg/ hr & D4000T: 4.000 kg/ hr *  E – plant: up to E3000T: 3.000 kg/ hr & E4000T: 4.000 kg/ hr *  Powder Plant: 2.500 kg/hr*  E4000T + Powder Plant: up to 4.000 kg/ hr (it can run up to 2.5 ton/ hr output i.e. 4.000 kg/ hr input) *
  • 25.  Plant A consists merely of the Super Chopper.  This is a hydraulic driven powerful pre chopper capable of processing complete car and truck tires (including super singles) down to shreds size (approximately 50-300mm).  It is low-speed with either single or dual shafts. The torque is with its 30 – 40 ton cutting force per knife!  Other advantages with Plant A are low running costs, few spare parts, easy access to knives, very few wear parts to change and high capacity.  The dimensions of the tires to be chopped has a maximum diameter of 1200 mm and width of 450 mm.  De-beading of the tires will not be required prior to processing in the PICS Super Chopper.  The machine is delivered with a Disc Pusher to occasionally assist by feeding of truck tires to the Super Chopper.
  • 26.  The multifunctional Super Choppers (SC1408/90, SC1412/160 and SC2118/250) process most non-ferrous materials and tyres.  Unique single rotor design.  Low speed, high torque rotor.  Powered directly by a Hägglund hydraulic motor and power unit.  Automatic reverse for overload protection.  Large triangular knives are resistant to cracking or breaking.  Adjustable knife clearance.  Knives available in different steel qualities providing the optimum solution for processing of your specific material.  Special tool-steel knives can be reground multiple times on a »flat-bed« grinder to ensure long life and low operating costs.  Starts when fully loaded with material.  Inlet hopper with large opening enabling very easy grab loading.  Reliable After-Sales-Service.
  • 27.  Standard Plant B is designed for recycling of Standard Plant whole car Tires or pre-cut car and truck Tires with a maximum car Tires 300 mm. The input material B is turned into Tire chips with a size from 75 mm down to approximately 12 mm. The chips are up to 98% free of liberated steel content!  The Tumble Back Feeder is the machine ensures a continuous flow into the Multi Purpose Rasper - thus ensuring an optimum load/utilization of the Multi Purpose Rasper.  The Multi Purpose Rasper is the first granulation which means that it reduces the Super Chopper shred input (50-300 mm) down to 12 mm in a single pass. The majority of the steel is removed and the chips are almost free from steel.  The chips are then used for example TDF (Tire Derived Fuel) or further processed in the granulation plant.
  • 28.  The machine is an effective Rasper designed for tire recycling.  The MPR is medium-speed and has dual drive. This machine is capable of processing whole passenger car Tires or pre-chopped car and truck tires.  The machine is equipped with exchangeable screens and the output size will be determined by the actual screen size installed in the machine.  It ensures individual size reduction down to approximately 12 mm chips and liberation up to 98% of the steel content.
  • 30.  The Multi Purpose Rasper (MPR120, MPR160 and MPR200) has a standard rotor is made from wear-resistant, hardened steel.  The main rotor housing is equipped with replaceable wear plates to increase the durability of the machine.  Special tool-steel knives can be reground multiple times on a »flat-bed« grinder to ensure long life and low operating costs.  Adjustable knife clearance.  The rotor can be turned automatically when changing knifes and doing maintenance or inspection.  Serrated knife design available in different steel qualities.  Screens available with different hole sizes and different steel qualities.
  • 31.  Hydraulic opening of rotor housing for easy access to rotor and knives.  Hydraulically operated swinging cradle will permit cleaning or exchange of screen.  Screen segments can be turned.  Friction clutches protects the drive system from momentary overload.  The machine is belt driven x 2, each side being individually adjusted.  Components used in each drive side – from axle journal to belt/flywheel are alike thus reducing maintenance costs.  The high inertia gives a more even load of the machine.  Reliable After-Sales-Service by PICS Recycling.
  • 32. Standard Plant  Plant C is designed for recycling of complete Truck C and Car Tires (including Super Singles & Tractor Tires) and size reduction from Tire chips of 75 mm to 12 mm. The output chips are up to 98% free of liberated steel content.  The Super Chopper is a hydraulic driven powerful pre-chopper capable of processing complete car and truck Tires (including super singles) down to shreds size (approximately 50-300mm).  It is low-speed with either single or dual shafts.

  • 58.  Excluding the use of whole tires, we can categorize the uses of tires in the following way:  Rubber Crumb - Floor mats, belts, gaskets, shoe soles, dock bumpers, seals, muffler hangers, shims, and washers.  Reclaimed Rubber in Vehicles:  a) Automotive Industry - Crumb (three to five percent) and Reclaimed rubber (up to ten percent) is particularly used in automobile tires. However, since the volume of tires is very high, the quantity of these rubbers used also goes up. New tire industry uses approximately 58 percent of the natural rubber of India, including imports of more than 80000 tones (according to ATMA figures)  b) In tire carcasses in substantial volume and other automotive parts c) Bicycle tire industry produces a massive 6-7 lakh tires/day, out of which more than 80 percent are produced in Ludhiana.
  • 59.  Molded products – These include mats, hose pipes, conveyor belts, v- belts, footwear, tiles, adhesives, sound dampers, rubber sheets, battery containers and other rubber molded goods  Footwear industry - Shoe soles  Cement Industry - "This is the most perverse use of old tires causing only pollution", says Dr. Chakravarty . However, in some countries, respective cement industries have developed technology where the tire is burnt at a temperature that destroys most toxic emissions, the exhaust is scrubbed and filtered and little escapes the cement kiln. The usage of tires for burning in cement kilns in India is up to 20000 tones per year, according to Imbrose, a small tire trader.
  • 60.  Retreading – Tires in India are retreaded as much as three to six times. One thing to note here is that it’s the truck tires that are retreaded, and not the car tires. There are 100-odd firms engaged in tire retreading in India with prominent names being MRF, Apollo, ELGI, Midas and Indag.  Whole tires are used as highway crash barriers, furniture, boat bumpers on marine docks, etc but it is a negligible amount.  Land filling or burning tires for energy has limited prospects as environmental authorities are acknowledging the need for its greener alternatives.  On the other hand, mass-market end products like continuous rolls of cost-effective recycled rubber used for noise insulation now complete the 'big picture' for investors to consider recycling tires commercially.
