Argosy’s solution for processing used tires is the most environmentally friendly, safe and energy efficient and our approach is in full conformity with the requirements of Russian environmental agencies.
However unlike many other well-known methods crumb rubber produced due to the Argosy innovative technologies saves its basic material characteristics (plasticity, elastic restraint coefficient etc.) and therefore is a perfect additive component for the high quality long lasting asphalt paving.
Here are some basic Argosy’s technology step to process any used tires:
- preliminary shredder and crumbling them up to the relevant chip’s sizes in the secondary shredder;
- grinder - granulator to obtain crumb rubber while separating steel cord with not more than 1% metal content;
- fine granulator to get crumb rubber being reduced to 1,5-2 mm while separating fabric textile;
- fine grinding reduced to 0,8-1,4 mm in final product cracker mill and bagging in Super Sacks (approx. 1000 kg each).
