In modern tire recycling operations, the first step to turning scrap tires into valuable resources is cutting them into manageable pieces. Shuliy Machinery offers two robust solutions with its hydraulic tire cutter series, designed to process both regular (900-1200 mm) and large OTR tires (1400-4000 mm). Whether you’re dealing with scrap car tires or massive industrial tires, our machines deliver clean, precise cuts that streamline downstream processes.
Key Features of Our Tire Cutting Equipment
✅Hydraulic-driven cutting ensures high power and stability
✅Industrial-grade Cr12MoV blade for superior wear resistance
✅Tailored solutions for both standard and OTR tire sizes
✅Optimized for safety, ease of operation, and low maintenance
✅ Perfect pre-treatment for scrap tire shredding and granulation lines
Standard Waste Tire Cutting Machine( for Tires ≤1200mm)
This rubber tire cutter is ideal for cutting truck and passenger vehicle tires with an outer diameter between 900mm and 1200mm. It uses a powerful 7.5kW motor and a hardened cutting blade made from Cr12MoV steel to deliver consistent performance at a rate of up to 60 tires per hour. Its compact design makes it suitable for small- and medium-sized recycling plants.

Technical Specifications:
- Machine Name: Tire Cutter
- Processing Tire Size: 900–1200mm
- Output: 60 tires/hour
- Power: 7.5kW
- Dimension: 1.7m*0.8m*1.85m
- Packing Size: 1.9m*1m *2.1m (wooden box)
- Machine Weight: 1400 kg
- Blade Material: Cr12MoV high-strength alloy steel
Main Function:
This model is designed to cut beadless car, truck tires into blocks under 900mm, preparing them for shredding or granulation.
OTR Hydraulic Tire Cutter ( for Tires ≤4000 mm)
The OTR hydraulic tire cutter is a heavy-duty solution for cutting ultra-large engineering tires, especially those used in mining or heavy construction. It processes bead-removed OTR tires with diameters from 1400mm to 4000mm. Built with reinforced frames and a premium-grade Cr12MoV blade, it slices these massive tires at a pace of two cuts per minute.

Technical Specifications:
- Machine Name: OTR Scrap Tire Cutter
- Processing Tire Size: 1400–4000mm (without steel bead)
- Output: 2 cuts per minute
- Power: 7.5kW
- Dimension: 3.13m*1.65m*2.7m
- Packing Size: Not applicable (too large for wooden packaging)
- Machine Weight: 7200kg
- Blade Material: Cr12MoV high-strength alloy steel
Main Function:
This hydraulic tire cutting machine handles oversized tires that have already gone through steel wire removal. It slices the tire body into strips for further shredding and recycling.
Working Principle of Scrap Tire Cutter
1. Place the tire on the workbench.
The operator positions the used tire in the designated spot on the cutting platform, making sure the tire is stable and directly under the cutting tool.
2.The hydraulic drive system is activated.
Once the operator starts the machine, the hydraulic pump drive system begins operating, providing a powerful source of energy for the cutting tools.
3. The hydraulic cutting tool then cuts the tire.
The hydraulic system drives the high-strength cutting tool to press down vertically or horizontally, cutting the tire carcass into large pieces of specified dimensions (e.g., less than 900 mm) for subsequent shredding or processing.
4. Multiple cuts can be performed in segments.
For larger OTR tires, the cutting process is divided into multiple segments, with each cut spaced approximately one minute apart. This ensures structural integrity and prevents equipment overload.
5. The finished product is output.
The cut tire pieces proceed to the next shredding or grinding stage.
