Removing steel wire from waste tires is the first and most critical step in the tire recycling process. A reliable tire debeader machine ensures safe and efficient pre-processing by extracting the tough bead wire embedded in the tire’s sidewall. This protects downstream shredders and crushers, improves processing speed, and allows the recovered steel to be sold as valuable scrap material.

Shuliy Machinery offers a full range of tyre debeaders for both standard tires and heavy-duty OTR tires, supporting various recycling capacities and automation levels.

What Is the Tire Debeader machine?

A tire debeader, also known as a tire wire drawing machine, uses hydraulic power to pull out the steel ring from the bead area of a waste tire. This wire, if not removed, can severely damage shredding blades and affect equipment efficiency.

The tyre debeading process is simple yet effective:

  • The tire is loaded onto the machine platform.
  • A hydraulic hook is interested into the bead area.
  • The hook pulls out the steel wire ring.
  • The clean tire is removed for further cutting or shredding.

three types of Tire steel wire drawing machines

Shuliy provides three main types of tire wire removal machines, each designed for different tire sizes and processing needs:

Single Hook Tire Debeader (for 900–1200 mm tires)

  • Removes steel from one side per cycle
  • Ideal for small-scale operations
  • Capacity: 20-30 tires/ h
  • Power: 11 KW

Double Hook Tire Debeader (for 900–1200 mm tires)

  • Extracts wire from both sides simultaneously
  • Increases efficienty and reduces labor
  • Capacity: 40-50 tires/ h
  • Power: 18.5 KW

OTR Tire Wire Drawing Machine (for 1800–4000 mm tires)

  • Heavy-duty structure for large engineering tires
  • Reinforced hook and frame for thick steel rings
  • Capacity: 1 tire every 2 minutes
  • Power: 22+3 KW
  • Suitable for mining, construction, and industrial tire recycling

Final Products and Uses of the tire wire removal machines

The tire debeader produces two main outputs:

  • Steel Wire Ring
    High-strength, low-contamination steel rings that can be sold to scrap metal dealers or steel mills for remelting or used as fuel in cement kilns.
  • Rubber Tire Body
    Once steel is removed, the tire can be processed further using a tire cutter, tire shredder, or rubber granulator. For OTR tires, the OTR debeader is often paired with an OTR tire cutting machine for complete pre-treatment.
