The OTR tire steel wire separator is a dedicated machine designed to separate bead wires from large off-the-road (OTR) tires ranging from 1400 mm to 4000 mm in diameter. It is used specifically to process the bead section removed from OTR tires, making the rubber and steel wire easier to recycle in the next stages.

Application of OTR Steel Ring Separator
During the dismantling of OTR tires, the bead area contains high-strength steel wires that cannot be directly shredded. This machine is designed to process the bead portion removed by the OTR dismantling machine, effectively separating the steel wire from the rubber. This enables:
- Reduced wear on downstream shredding machines
- Higher purity of both rubber and steel
- Improved overall recycling efficiency
Working Principle of OTR Tire Steel Wire Separator
The separator uses a dual-roller compression system. The worker puts the bead part into the middle of the double rollers, and the two rollers squeeze the bead by rotating, so that the rubber and steel wire ring are separated under the mechanical force. The separated steel wire can be recycled directly, while the rubber blocks go to the next crushing process.

Key Advantages of OTR Tire Steel Wire Separator
- The machine is designed to handle OTR tire beads ranging from 1400 to 4000 mm in diameter, making it suitable for different types and sizes of off-the-road tires.
- The gap between the two rollers can be easily adjusted to accommodate different bead thicknesses, ensuring safe and efficient separation.
- The rollers are made of hard alloy steel, offering excellent wear resistance and durability, which extends the machine’s service life.
- With a compact structure and extrusion-based working method, the machine ensures efficient steel wire separation with minimal energy usage.
