Carcasses - a valuable raw material

As Carcass is the substructure of the tyre. It is the base on which the tread strip is then applied. Carcasses are a valuable raw material and their preparation in retreading is an important factor in the tyre production process. sustainable recycling of used tyres

Retreading can save up to 70 % of energy compared to the production of a new tyre. The rest of the tread strip is "peeled off" and then a new one is applied. Tyres that are no longer suitable for retreading are sent for thermal recycling, i.e. they are used as fuel, e.g. in industry.

Cement works in particular often use Used tyres as these have a very good calorific value and sulphur content. The non-combustible parts of the old tyres oxidise completely during incineration. However, the demand in the recycling companies, i.e. primarily in cement works and pelletising plants, has long been covered and capacities are exhausted, which often results in long storage periods for tyres and carcasses.

Five different qualities

Not every carcass is the same. In order to determine the correct utilisation method for each one, it must be put through its paces. This requires an expert eye, which our employees have learnt over many years of working with the material. They check the carcasses, sort them and then ensure that each one reaches the right destination. This is how KURZ Karkassenhandel, as a responsible tyre dealer, makes its contribution to the sustainable disposal of used tyres.
