Re-use
Re-use of selected tires
Once the selection process has been performed, the tires are made available for the reuse market or will be recycled for their valuable elements.
Optimised tire re-distribution on international market
After that the tires eligible for re-use have been classified and stored into the various warehouses on Lintire’s premises, they are made ready for international export to our customers throughout diverse markets.
Orders are loaded into container trucks for immediate delivery to customers worldwide. Upon request, tires can be doubled (2 in 1) or tripled for worldwide overseas transport. Done with machinery, the doubling or tripling of tires enables an efficient, profitable and environmentally friendly supply chain for our customers.
Shredding rejected tires and producing circular products
The tires that have not been approved by the experts for reuse are processed by shredders. In fact, Lintire has two shredders for continuous processing of rejected tires into shreds. Once the tires are shredded, two conveyor belts re-direct the shreds into containers. These containers are then transported by Lintire trucks to Kargro Recycling.
At Kargro Recycling, complex technology is employed to separate the milled rejected rubber tires (shreds) into steel, rubber granulates and rubber powders. These circular products are then redeployed in numerous industries and have quite some diverse applications.
