African Tyre Recycling Plant: Turning Waste Tires into High-Value Rubber Granules & Powder

With the rapid growth of vehicle ownership in Africa, the number of discarded tires has continued to increase, creating both environmental challenges and resource recovery opportunities. An African customer recently purchased a complete solution de recyclage des pneus from Fante Machinery to process large quantities of scrap car and truck tires and convert them into high-value rubber products.

This successful project demonstrates how advanced recycling technology can help customers build an efficient and sustainable tire recycling business.

Customer Background: Building a Professional Waste Tire Recycling Facility in Africa

The customer operates a waste tire recycling factory in Africa, focusing on the collection and processing of discarded passenger car tires and truck tires from local markets.

Before cooperation with Fante Machine, the customer faced numerous challenges, including achieving high purity in rubber separation, ensuring thorough separation of steel wires and fibers, and the need for a reliable production system capable of continuous operation.

After technical communication and project evaluation, Fante Machine provided a customized recycling solution designed according to the customer’s raw materials, production goals, and local operating conditions.

The complete solution included advanced used tire recycling equipment with a stable configuration for shredding, steel separation, fine grinding, and rubber powder production. The system was designed to maximize resource recovery while reducing operational costs.

Processing 3 Tons of Waste Tires Per Hour with Stable Performance

The installed recycling line is designed to process approximately 3 tons of waste tires per hour (3TPH). It can handle different sizes of waste tires, including passenger vehicle tires and heavy-duty truck tires.

During operation, the production process follows multiple efficient steps:

• Primary tire shredding to reduce whole tires into manageable rubber pieces
• Steel wire separation to recover valuable scrap steel
• Secondary crushing and granulation to produce clean rubber granules
• Fine grinding to achieve high-quality rubber powder

This multi-stage recycling process ensures high-quality output with consistent particle sizes, meeting the requirements of different rubber recycling applications.

The customer selected Fante Machine because of the equipment’s durability, energy efficiency, and ability to maintain stable production under demanding industrial conditions.

High-Quality Output: 5mm Rubber Granules and 20-80 Mesh Rubber Powder

One of the key goals of this project was producing marketable recycled rubber materials.

After processing, the recycling line successfully produces:

• 5mm rubber granules for applications such as rubber flooring, playground surfaces, sports tracks, and landscaping materials
• 20-80 mesh rubber powder for use in rubber products, modified asphalt, construction materials, and other industrial applications

The final products have good cleanliness and uniform particle size, helping the customer expand their business opportunities in the recycled rubber market.

By converting waste tires into valuable secondary raw materials, the project not only reduces landfill pressure but also creates additional economic value from discarded resources.
