Tire steel wire separator is an important machine in the tire recycling process. It is used to process the tire beads cut from truck tires or OTR tires by a tire bead cutting machine or a tire dismantling machine. The main function is to completely separate the steel wire from the rubber, making it easier to reuse the rubber material and recycle the steel.

Tire Steel Wire Separator Working Principle
The tire steel wire separator separates the steel wire from the rubber through the squeezing action of two rollers. The operator places the cut tire bead between the two counter-rotating rollers, which rotate at high speed and apply pressure to separate the rubber from the steel wire.

Applications in Tire Recycling Plant
The tire steel wire separator is usually used after:
- Tire Bead Cutter or Tire Dismantling Machine – Beads are removed or cut from tires.
- Tire Steel Wire Separator – Separates steel wires from rubber.
- Tire Shredder – Processes clean rubber rings into small chips.
- Rubber Powder Milling Machine – Produces crumb rubber or fine powder for reuse.
This step improves the quality of rubber output and prevents damage to downstream shredders and cutters.
