Waste tires are tough to break down. For recyclers, the first and most critical step is removing the sidewalls. Why? Because separating the sidewall makes the rest of the tire easier to handle, cut, and process. That’s where a tire sidewall cutter (also known as a tire ring cutter or tire sidewall cutting machine) comes into play.
Why do we need the tire sidewall cutter?
Removing the sidewall is essential in modern tire recycling for three main reasons:
- Releases Steel Beads
The sidewall contains a thick steel wire ring, which must be separated before further shredding. A dedicated cutter makes this easy and safe. - Improves Downstream Efficiency
After sidewall removal, the remaining tire body (crown) is easier to slice into strips and blocks using a tire strip cutting machine or tire block cutter. - Protects Machinery
Cutting the ring off first reduces wear and tear on shredders, grinders, and crushing equipment — saving time, blades, and maintenance costs.
