A TDF plant is a specialized equipment system that converts discarded tires (scrap tires, used tires, rubber products, etc.) into rubber pellets or blocks that can be used as an alternative fuel through crushing, sorting, and processing.
These processed tire-derived fuels have high calorific value and stable combustion properties, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial combustion scenarios as a replacement for traditional fossil fuels such as coal, heavy oil, and natural gas.

How the TDF plant works:
Waste tires are disassembled, crushed, sorted, and processed through physical and mechanical means to remove non-rubber components such as wire and fiber. Ultimately, the pure rubber material is processed into high-calorific value, uniformly sized rubber pellets or blocks for use as an alternative fuel.
The core of this process is to separate the high-calorific value rubber portion of the tire (primarily hydrocarbons) and process it into a fuel that burns efficiently, while minimizing impurities (such as wire, fiber, and dust) to ensure combustion performance and environmental friendliness.

Typical Process Flow of a TDF Plant
1. Raw Material Pretreatment (Loading and Storage): Scrap tires (whole tires, half tires, strips, or blocks).
2. Tire Shredding (Coarse Shredding/Chopping): Whole tires or large tire blocks are crushed into small pieces (e.g., 50mm x 50mm or smaller).
3. Fine Crushing (Rubber Granule Preparation): Tire blocks are further crushed into rubber granules (typically 10mm-30mm, or finer down to 5mm).
4. Magnetic Separation (Wire Removal): Removes residual wire from the tire (primarily from the tire reinforcement layer).
5. Fiber Separation/Wind Separation (Optional): Removes fiber materials from the tire (e.g., nylon and polyester in the tread cord).
6. Screening/Grading: Classification by particle size to obtain TDF rubber granules/lumps that meet the target size.

TDF Plant Features:
Modular Design: Production lines with different capacities (e.g., 1 ton, 10 tons, 100 tons per day, etc.) can be configured based on processing scale and customer needs.
High Automation: Automated loading, crushing, conveying, magnetic separation, and sorting are all included, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency.
Adaptability: Processes a variety of waste tire types, including passenger car tires, truck tires, and OTR tires, in both whole and cut tires.
Safety: The equipment features explosion-proof, anti-entanglement, and overload protection features to accommodate the high toughness of rubber and the hardness of steel wire.
Scalability: Can be integrated with subsequent rubber powder production lines and pyrolysis equipment to create more advanced resource utilization solutions.
