Tire Cutting Machine
The tire cutting machine is a hydraulic device specially designed to cut waste tires into multiple sections. It is ideal for the pre-processing of large-sized tires such as truck and OTR (off-the-road) tires. Powered by a hydraulic system that delivers strong cutting force, the machine can easily slice through thick and heavy tires, turning them into smaller pieces suitable for shredding, significantly improving the efficiency of subsequent crushing processes.
Role of The Rubber Tyre Cutting Machine
In the process of tyre recycling, large tyres are not only inefficient due to their large size and high thickness, but also cause wear and tear or even damage to the equipment when they enter the shredder directly. Through the tire cutting machine to pre-cut the tyre into segments can significantly improve the shredding efficiency and extend the service life of subsequent equipment.
Note: Before cutting, it is necessary to remove the tire bead wire using a debeader or sidewall cutter to ensure effective cutting and protect the blades.

Features of The Tire Cutting Machine
- A wide range of models to choose from: regular models for tyres up to 1200mm diameter and OTR models for construction tyres from 1400-4000mm diameter.
- Powerful cutting force: the hydraulic drive system provides efficient cutting capacity to adapt to different tire sizes.
- Durable Knife Material: High-strength alloy knives are used, which are wear-resistant and prolong the service life.
Working Principle
The tyre cutter uses a hydraulic system to drive the cutter, and by controlling the movement of the hydraulic cylinder, the tyre is pressed and cut off. After the operator places the tyre in the cutting area and starts the machine, the hydraulic cutter slowly presses down and completes the cutting action. The whole process is smooth and efficient, suitable for pre-processing of large diameter tyres.
Tire Cutting Machine Model Classification

Conventional Waste Tire Cutting Machine
It is suitable for car tires, light truck tires, and lorry tires with a diameter of less than 1200mm, and is the standard equipment in most waste tire recycling plants.

OTR Tire Cutter
Designed to handle heavy tires with diameters from 1400mm to 4000mm, such as mining truck and loader tyres, it offers increased cutting power and robust construction to meet heavy tyre cutting needs.
