The operational challenge
Tyres rebound, contain reinforcement and can bridge if they are presented poorly. The feed mix and downstream separation process govern the appropriate first-stage reduction.
ELASTOMER PROCESSING
Tyres & Rubber
Grip and reduce suitable tyre and rubber streams using shaft tooling selected around elasticity, steel content and the required downstream fraction.
How twin-shaft shredding addresses it
Star or combination shafts bite into the tyre body and pull it through the chamber. The selected screen and magnet arrangement must be considered alongside steel content and target output.
LIKELY CONFIGURATION DISCUSSION
Start with shafts, counter tools and the screen.
Shafts
- Star shaft
- Combination shaft
Tooling
- Application-specific breaker bars
- Screen basket where technically suitable
- Optional overband magnet
These are starting points for assessment, not a final specification.
MATERIAL & PROCESS EVIDENCE
Connect the feed evidence to the cutting system and required discharge.
Official imagery and footage provide context; a representative demonstration should document the actual input condition and the output required by the next process.
OFFICIAL PLATFORM FOOTAGE
Use platform footage for context—not as a material trial.
No material-specific WERT-channel clip is presented for this feed. The general PHANTOM film shows the platform only; arrange a representative assessment for the actual input and output requirement.

 Rubber | approximately 13–18 tonnes per hour |
Performance qualification. Performance figures are manufacturer-stated averages and are not guaranteed. Actual throughput will vary according to material, shaft configuration, screen-basket settings, material feed and operating conditions.
PERFORMANCE VARIABLES
What will change the result.
- 01Tyre type and diameter
- 02Steel content
- 03Whole or pre-cut feed
- 04Screen setting
- 05Feed consistency
- 06Required downstream separation
MODEL CONSIDERATIONS
Power is part of the decision, not the whole decision.
A trial should compare draw-in and output, then consider diesel or electric site operation. Do not select solely from engine power.
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Plan around the actual wear mechanism.
Check cutting edges and chamber clearances, manage steel wire around downstream equipment, and inspect for wrapping or heat build-up.

APPLICATION FAQ
Questions to settle before specification.
01Can the machine process whole tyres?+
Tyres are an official WERT application, but diameter, construction and presentation must be confirmed before a final specification.
02What is the stated rubber throughput?+
The current manufacturer-stated average is approximately 13–18 tonnes per hour, subject to the published qualification.
03Will it make a finished tyre-derived product?+
The PHANTOM can provide a reduction stage. The complete downstream process and target specification still need to be engineered.
