Problems of Recycling Large-Sized Car Tires

Abstract

The present article describes the problem of disposing of worn-out tires, which arises during the operation of heavy-duty dump trucks in the mining and construction industries. Worn-out tires cannot be buried in landfills and must be disposed of in accordance with Russian legislation. However, at present, equipment for processing large-sized tires has a high cost and occupies a large area. These problems can be solved by the "Installation for Removing the Cable from the Side Part of the Tire during Utilization", which has the same technical and operational characteristics and smaller dimensions compared to analogues. This installation is an effective and economically advantageous solution to the problem of disposing of worn-out tires in the mining and construction industries. Its use will reduce the negative impact on the environment and save resources. To determine the main technological parameters of the installation, an industrial experiment was conducted on the "Hydraulic Puller of Rim Rings" equipment and smaller-sized tires, and a direct-proportional dependence was identified between the tire size and the force required to remove the rim ring.
