It has been in operation at KURZ Karkassenhandel in Landau since March 2016: Europe's first and so far the only Rubber pulverising plant for Truck peeling snakes. This term refers to the black rubber strips that are produced when truck tyres are peeled off lengthways. The machine on the KURZ premises is a real workhorse. With 144 rotor knives and seven stator knives, it shreds the peeling snakes into coarse granulate within just a few minutes and then further into finer particles of less than 0.4 mm (Rubber powder).
This makes KURZ Karkassenhandel an important German producer of the material, for which there are Versatile application possibilities gives. From the Granules carpet underlays, mouse pads, door seals, sports floor coverings, water hoses, fences and children's play equipment, among other things. We are also familiar with soft mats from swimming pools and children's playgrounds, which prevent injuries in the event of falls.
But also in the Road construction can the Rubber powder can be used: As an additive to bitumen, it serves as noise insulation, prevents the formation of ruts, is characterised by excellent drainage properties and also makes the road surface many times more durable. Scientific studies show that if "rubberised asphalt" were used consistently, costs for maintaining the road network could be saved and roadworks and traffic jams could be prevented.
Two methods of grinding are commonly used: the Cold and hot grinding.
In cold grinding, the rubber parts are made brittle using liquid nitrogen and then crushed in a hammer mill.
The disadvantage of this production method, apart from the additional costs incurred for the purchase of the liquid nitrogen, is the small surface size of the individual grains.
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 particle size is reached.
Also The rubber pulverising system from KURZ works according to this principle.
The finished product Rubber powder at KURZ is packed directly from the collection container into suitable bags in the desired quantity and then delivered to the relevant companies that process the raw material further. After a short test phase, during which the staff familiarised themselves with the operation of the powerhouse and eliminated teething troubles, the fine grinding system has become an important part of the business and a useful additional service for customers. An investment that has paid off in every respect.
