Advanced Rubber Powder Manufacturing Process – Our Leadership in Tire Recycling
At Sport Floor Rubber Flooring Factory, we are the largest tire recycling manufacturer, following an advanced production process to ensure the highest levels of quality and purity in our rubber powder.
This process transforms used tires into valuable resources, reflecting our strong commitment to sustainability and innovation.
- The process begins with collecting old tires from various sources such as car workshops and recycling centers.
The tires are sorted, cleaned, and separated from their metallic and textile components before processing, ensuring a pure final product.
- The tires pass through powerful shredding machines that break them down into small pieces known as rubber chips.
This step helps separate key components such as rubber, steel wires, and textile fibers.
Steel wires are removed using strong magnets, while textile fibers are separated by air flow systems or vibrating sieves.
The remaining pure rubber pieces form the raw material for further processing.
At Sport Floor, we use two advanced grinding technologies to produce rubber powder with precise specifications:
1. Mechanical Grinding
This method relies on high-power machines to tear and granulate tires. The rubber is cut into smaller pieces using rotating blades and then ground to the required size using specialized mills.
It’s highly efficient for large-scale production and results in durable granules.
2. Cryogenic Grinding
In this process, the rubber is frozen using liquid nitrogen or solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) at very low temperatures, making it brittle.
The frozen rubber is then ground into fine and uniform particles with exceptional purity and consistency.
This method is also more energy-efficient and ideal for high-precision applications.
These different manufacturing methods directly influence the final product quality and properties.
For example, cryogenic grinding produces smoother, cleaner, and more uniform particles — perfect for coatings, adhesives, and precision components.
This shows that our product is not just an ordinary powder, but an engineered material customized to meet specific performance requirements.
Once the rubber powder is produced, it undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure compliance with international standards.
Comprehensive quality tests analyze particle size, purity, and physical & chemical properties.
Particle size is typically expressed in “mesh” — higher mesh means smaller, finer particles.
Understanding this standard is crucial for industrial buyers:
⦁ Fine powders (high mesh) → ideal for coatings and sealants
⦁ Coarse powders (low mesh) → better for asphalt modification and fillers
