Of carcasses and tread tires

The disposal of used tires is a demanding task that belongs in professional, experienced hands. Because old tires are not always old tires. The professional distinguishes between carcasses and tread tires: The tread tires has, as the name suggests, a residual profile.

The carcass On the other hand, it is what remains after the tread of a tire has been completely worn down. Tread tires are suitable for either the Export in countries where high speeds are not possible due to the road conditions, or as well as the carcasses for the Retreading – unless they have already been retreaded once. 

Of course, they have to be intact, i.e. not damaged, or have driven faster than 210 km/h. Several tests ensure that a tire is suitable for retreading. Only tires that are no longer suitable for export or retreading are recycled materially or thermally.

KURZ carcass trade - disposal of used tires ... a well-rounded affair!

Retreading saves valuable resources

Within the Retreading the tread is "peeled" off the carcass and then a new one is applied. A car tire can be retreaded once (provided it is not punctured), while truck and airplane tires can be retreaded several times. This method not only has that Advantagethat Less waste is generated and resources are saved become, it also become round 70 percent energy at the production saved. Actually a win-win situation, but unfortunately the demand for retreaded tires is falling. The reason is cheap new tires that are coming onto the market from the Far East. Many drivers are suspicious of retreaded tires. You want a new tire, even if it's inferior in quality to the retreaded tire.

Material recycling: Rubber as a raw material

The recycling takes place in so-called granulating plants. There, in huge machines, the used tires are first turned into granules and then into fine or coarse ones gum powder ground. This rubber powder in turn serves as a valuable raw material. It is used to make coverings for sports fields or fall protection mats for swimming pools and playgrounds. Numerous uses from the shoe sole to the seal are conceivable. Very suitable gum powder also as a bitumen admixture in road construction.

"Rubber asphalt" is quieter, has better drainage ability, is safer and lasts longer. Unfortunately, it has so far only been used very hesitantly in Germany. If this were to change, it would be a big step for the disposal of used tires.

Thermal utilization: An ideal fuel

Scrap tires are also an excellent one secondary fuel and are used instead of fossil fuels, such as crude oil and coal, for example in cement works. The use of scrap tires as fuel thus saves valuable, non-renewable raw materials. In addition, the organic pollutants contained in the tires are burned completely and harmlessly at the high temperatures reached in the kilns and when the exhaust air is cleaned.

To ensure that every old tire can be recycled using the appropriate recycling method, it must be professionally inspected upon delivery. At KURZ Karkassenhandel, this is done by experienced old tire experts. Good used tires are exported or retreaded, all others are recycled.
