Australia generates waste tires from passenger cars, freight trucks, mining vehicles, and agricultural machinery. In Queensland, transport companies and tire service businesses produce a steady stream of used tires that require proper handling. A tire shredder machine cuts whole tires into smaller pieces for storage, transport, and further recycling.
Daniel Thompson, a recycling business owner in Queensland, planned to expand his tire processing operation. His business collected used tires from transport companies and local tire dealers. He needed a shredder that could handle regular incoming materials without taking up excessive floor space.

Industrial Tire Shredder for Australian Recycling Businesses
Australian recycling facilities may receive passenger car tires, truck tires, and tires from agricultural or industrial vehicles. These tires differ in diameter, thickness, and steel reinforcement. A suitable industrial tire shredder needs a cutting system that matches the materials entering the machine.
The YG-1000 has two 37 kW motors and 26 knives. Its double-shaft design cuts and tears tires during operation. The machine reduces tire size mechanically; it does not melt rubber or separate recovered materials by itself.
Several factors affect its use in a recycling facility:
- Tire type: Heavy truck tires may require different feeding arrangements from passenger car tires.
- Target piece size: The required output size depends on storage needs and the next processing stage.
- Incoming volume: Daily tire deliveries determine the operating hours needed to process the material.
- Available space: The machine footprint affects the position of the feeding area and output collection point.
These details matter when selecting a tire shredding machine for a mixed supply of used tires. The YG-1000 offers a rated capacity of 1–1.2 t/h, but actual output depends on the material and operating conditions.
Waste Tire Shredder for Tire Recycling
A waste tire shredder reduces whole tires into smaller pieces before further processing. This stage makes bulky tires easier to handle and prepares the material for the next operation.
For Daniel’s planned facility in Queensland, the shredding stage would handle incoming tires before storage or additional treatment. The next step depends on the type of recovered product the business intends to produce.
Common processing routes include:
- Rubber granulation: Additional cutting and grinding equipment reduces shredded rubber to smaller particles.
- Material separation: Dedicated equipment separates steel wire, fiber, and rubber where the processing line includes these stages.
- Thermal treatment: A facility producing pyrolysis oil needs a separate tire pyrolysis system. A mechanical shredder cannot produce oil or combustible gas.
Businesses planning a complete line need to select tire recycling equipment for each stage. A shredder handles size reduction, while granulators, separators, and pyrolysis units perform different functions. The required output size should match the equipment that receives the shredded tires.
Queensland Project Details and Customer Feedback
Daniel Thompson’s planned expansion focused on processing used tires from transport fleets and local tire service businesses. The YG-1000 was selected as the proposed shredding model based on its rated capacity and machine dimensions.
The equipment measures 3.4 × 1.25 × 2.2 m. This footprint provides a starting point for arranging the machine inside the facility. The site plan also needs space for tire storage, feeding, safe operation, and the collection of shredded material.
Daniel commented:
“The YG-1000 fits our processing plan well. Its capacity and compact design make it a practical choice for handling used tires from transport companies and local tire dealers. The machine specifications also made it easier for us to plan our workspace and prepare for future production needs.”
Daily production will depend on the number and type of tires entering the facility, operating hours, and the time needed to move material through the line. The capacity of any downstream equipment also affects the overall processing rate.
YG Machinery for Tire Recycling Equipment
YG Machinery is a machinery manufacturer and exporter based in Henan, China. Its main product categories include drilling rigs, concrete pumps, expandable prefab houses , and other construction and industrial machinery. We company has more than 20 years of manufacturing and export experience. For tire processing projects, equipment selection starts with the incoming material, required output size, and intended recycling route. These details determine whether a facility needs a standalone shredder or several machines for different processing stages. YG can provide product information based on the intended application at any time.
