OTR Tire Wire Drawing Machine Case Study: Indonesia Mining Solution
What do you do with a 4-meter, multi-ton mining tire once it’s dead?
For a major mining operator in Indonesia, the answer used to be ‘nothing’. They just piled up, creating a sprawling, hazardous graveyard of rubber and steel—a costly problem with no solution in sight.
That is, until they called EFFICIENT. This is the story of how we turned their biggest liability into a profitable asset.
The Core Problem: More Than Just Waste
Before contacting us, the client faced several critical issues:
- Immense Stockpiles: The non-biodegradable tires were consuming valuable land, creating fire hazards, and posing environmental risks.
- Pyrolysis Contamination: Attempts to shred the tires whole were failing. The thick, high-tensile steel bead within the tires was causing catastrophic damage to their downstream shredders and contaminating the final pyrolysis oil, reducing its market value.
- Manual Labor Inefficiency: Any manual attempts to cut or process the tires were dangerously slow, labor-intensive, and posed significant safety risks to their workers.
They needed a dedicated pre-treatment line. The search for a powerful and efficient tire wire drawing machine began.
The EFFICIENT Solution: A Consultation-Led Approach
Our project lead, Sara, initiated a deep-dive consultation. This wasn’t about selling a machine; it was about architecting a solution. We analyzed their entire workflow, from the specific models of their mining trucks (CAT 777, CAT 793) to the input size requirements of their pyrolysis reactor.
The evidence was key. We provided extensive, real-time videos of our factory testing a tire wire drawing machine on tires of identical specifications. This transparent approach built immediate trust.
The engineered solution was a robust, two-stage process:
The OTR Tire Wire Drawing Machine: The Heart of the System
This is where the magic happens. Designed for brutal pulling force, our heavy-duty bead wire extractor is a masterclass in industrial engineering.
- Unmatched Power: The 30+3kw dual-motor system generates enough torque to pull the entire steel bead bundle from a 4500mm tire in a single, clean motion—all within two minutes.
- Engineered for Safety: Understanding the immense tension involved, we equipped the machine with a remote control. This allows the operator to manage the pull from a safe distance, drastically reducing workplace risk. The machine’s reinforced steel frame is designed to absorb the force without flexing, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
- Specialized Hook Design: The hook, forged from hardened alloy steel, is specifically shaped to grip OTR beads without slipping, a common failure point in lesser machines.
The OTR Tire Cutter: Taming the Carcass
With the steel gone, the beadless tire is moved to the OTR tire slicer. Its job is to break down the massive rubber carcass into manageable chunks for the pyrolysis feed. The machine’s Chromium-12 Molybdenum Vanadium alloy blade is not a standard blade; it’s designed for superior wear resistance against the abrasive materials found in OTR tire rubber.
The Result: A Tangible Return on Investment
The equipment was manufactured and shipped from our facility to the port of Jakarta (CIF) in a single 40 HQ container within 15 working days. The results for the client were immediate and transformative:
- New Revenue Stream: The extracted high-tensile steel is now sold as high-quality scrap, creating an unexpected revenue source.
- Increased Pyrolysis Profitability: With no steel contamination, the quality of their pyrolysis oil has improved, fetching a higher price on the market.
- Drastically Lower Operational Costs: The automated tire wire drawing machine replaced dangerous manual labor, and their downstream shredders now have a significantly longer lifespan.
- Full Compliance & Safety: The system operates below 70 decibels, and our 2-year comprehensive warranty provides total peace of mind.
