The stage one machine can accept tires from passenger cars, SUVs and trucks. The shredder is expected to process between 8-12tph of shredded tyres. The CM Dual Speed is configured to produce a two-inch tire chip that can be used as a tyre derived fuel (TDF) at Osung’s cement plant.
The cement company expects to process 20,000t of scrap tyres at the cement plant this year. SU-UI Lee, Osung’s president, also is president of Korea’s Waste Plastic Association.
In a CM release, Lee says that he is planning on acquiring another factory in a densely populated area of Korea that will allow the company to shred more tires.
