Metallic Wire - Aliapur/Wiki GitHub Wiki

Depending on its use (car, HGV, etc.), a tyre contains 15 to 25% of steel, used to reinforce the tyre carcass or to attach the tyre to its hubcap. Metallic Wire is recovered when the end-of-life tyres during the granulation process. After several successive shredding stages, the wire and textile fibres are separated from the elastomeric phase (rubber). The wire is then extracted by means of magnetic separation.

Metallic wire is of real interest for recycling, essentially in the steel industry.

Composition:

• Mainly steel
• Between 2% and 20% of residual rubber
