Symphony's 'flat pack' recycler will 'avoid tire mountains'

ERJ staff report (BC)

Borehamwood, UK - Symphony Recycling Technologies has launched a semi-automatic tire cutter designed to be small enough to be used by neighbourhood garages and capable of completely scrapping a tire in 60 seconds.

The SymTyre-S300 is said to be the first application of a technology that allows tires to be cut into three parts - the two sidewalls and the tread - in one process. It then makes a transverse cut of the tread, turning it into a strip of rubber.

When the tyre has been dismantled, the components can be loaded into a specially designed cage or “stillage”.

Symphony says it believes the SymTyre-S300 will allow more control over the disposal of scrap tires, reducing illegal dumping.

The company intends to offer a collection service for the flat-packed tires. The SymTyre-S300 unit will be available either for sale or rental.
