\\ Truck Tyre Debeaders

The Brentwood truck Tyre Debeader has been specifically designed to remove steel beads and side walls from truck tyres. Further destruction of the tyre by shredding is a task made considerably easier having debeaded the tyre.

Shredding plants processing debeaded tyres gain considerable advantages:

lower processing times

reduced maintenance expenses

higher rubber output

reduced product size

lower power consumption

There is very little advantage in attempting to shred the bead of a truck tyre as the expenses incurred in processing it are far exceeded by the capital investment and running costs required for a tyre debeader.

In addition to this, most truck tyre grinding plants remove the steel to produce pure rubber. As the bead of a truck tyre is predominantly steel, there is little purpose in shredding it to only remove it later in the process.

The Brentwood Tyre Debeader is capable of:

Operation

Debeader Showing Ramp
and Grip Wheel

Tyres hand loaded up a ramp onto a supporting grip wheel and locked onto the wheel by pneumatic driven locking flaps. The wheel is then rotated by an electric motor via a chain drive.

Removal of tyre bead or wall is achieved by twin cutting blades gradually being driven in through the action of a pneumatic cylinder. The action of the knives is controlled by a hand operated "generant" valve.

After several revolutions of the wheel cutting is complete, knives are with-drawn, the wheel is stopped and the tyre can be removed.

Capacityy

High throughput of 40 - 50 tyres per hour is achieved by cutting the two beads or sidewalls out of the tyre (one each side) at the same time.

The Brentwood Tyre Debeader is extremely versatile in its ability to process 20”, 22.5” and 24.5” truck tyres including super singles. By altering the location of the knives relative to the supporting grip wheel, different tyre sizes can be cut. Locating the knife table is achieved by rotating the postioning screw adjacent to the controls.

Cutting Blades

The hardened blades used to cut the bead provide good life and only require hand surface dressing after every 6th tyre to ensure the cutting edge is razor sharp. Research and development has developed this cutter design to provide maximum core strength and surface hardness while maintaining longevity of life.

Operator Protection

Operator protection is a design feature which Brentwood engineers consider a high priority. The Debeader shows this dedication to safety by providing a fully enclosed cage around the operation of the machine. Two interlocked sliding gates open to provide access for loading and removal of the tyres. Unless these are fully closed, the machine will not operate.

The Brentwood Tyre Debeader is an essential tool for any truck tyre processing plant. It provides efficient removal of beads and side walls to reduce operating and capital expenses in the recycling plants of the future.
