Big size tire usually need more complex process to recycle, for example, if the tire diameter ≥800mm, before be shredded, the steel bead wire should be pulled out with a bead wire pulling machine, because there are many thick bead wire in the big size tire. And if it is huge engineer tire, it should be cut into several pieces then go to the further process. Though the machine used to recycle big tire will be bigger model, and the process will be more complex, but we can get more recycled products from the big tire treatment. For example, we can get more recycled bead wire and more rubber from big tire recycling and of course more economic interest can be earned.
