Wire-free Chip
WIRE-FREE CHIPMODELS
Overview
Wire-free Chips or Rubber Mulch are shreds that exit through the second station or secondary shredder of a tire recycling line. At this stage, rough shreds from the primary shredder are processed into a uniform chip with steel removed through a wire cleaning/magnet removal process. These chips are typically 99.9% wire-free. Wire-free chips are typically found in 1 ¼” – 3/8” inch in size.
Wire-free chips have numerous uses from landscaping and playgrounds to engineering applications. An added value of wire-free chips is the ability to remove the steel and sell to buyers. Wire-free mulch is a low-maintenance material for landscapers and homeowners.
