Abstract
A method involves heating metal cord threads and separating metal cord threads from rubber. Output is increased and power consumption of the process is lowered by preliminarily completely cutting through a tire in such a manner as to expose the ends of metal cord threads and by heating these threads to a temperature of complete thermooxidation destruction of rubber layers adjacent to these metal cord threads.
Claims4
A method for recovering breaker metal cord threads from rubber tires, comprising heating breaker metal cord threads in a high-frequency electromagnetic field and separating said metal cord threads from rubber of said rubber tires, wherein a tire is completely cut through the breaker before heating in a plane drawn perpendicularly with respect to the tire's axis of rotation in such a manner as to expose ends of all metal cord threads, and heating the cords to a temperature of complete thermooxidation destruction of rubber material contacting the metal cord threads.
