From the peeling snake to gum powder

It has been in operation at KURZ Karkassenhandel in Landau since March 2016: Europe's first and only one so far Rubber fine grinding plant for truck peeling snakes. This term refers to the black rubber stripes that appear when you peel off truck tires lengthwise. The machine on the KURZ company premises is a real workhorse. With 144 rotor and seven stator knives, it chops the peeling snakes into coarse granules within just a few minutes and then further into finenesses of less than 0,4 mm (gum powder).

Rubber granulate: recyclable material with high potential

This makes KURZ Karkassenhandel an important German producer of the material for which it versatile applications gives. From the granulates Among other things, carpet underlays, mouse pads, door seals, sports floor coverings, water hoses, fences and children's play equipment are manufactured. We also know the soft mats from swimming pools or children's playgrounds, which prevent injuries from falling.

But also in road construction can the gum powder used: As an addition to the bitumen, it is used for noise insulation, prevents the formation of ruts, is characterized by excellent drainage properties and also makes the road surface much more durable. Scientific studies show that if you consistently use “rubber asphalt”, costs for maintaining the road network can be saved and construction sites and traffic jams avoided.

Different methods of rubber grinding

Two methods of grinding are common: the cold and warm grinding

cold grinding

In cold grinding, the rubber parts are made brittle with the help of liquid nitrogen and then crushed in a hammer mill.

The disadvantage of this production method, in addition to the additional costs incurred for purchasing the liquid nitrogen, is the small surface area of ​​the individual grains.

warm grinding

Warm or ambient grinding does not require expensive liquid nitrogen and, as the name suggests, takes place at room temperature. The rubber is crushed in several mills connected in series until the desired grain size is reached.

Auch the rubber fine grinding plant from KURZ works according to this principle.
