Did you know tires can be recycled into new products? From rubber mats to new road surfaces - the possibilities are endless.

The recycling process begins with shredding the tires using a rotary shear. The shredded pieces are then cleaned and further processed to create new materials.

THM recycling solutions relies on the proven and dependable drive technology from SEW-EURODRIVE to meet the high demands of their recycling machines. The drives used in the new twin-shaft rotary shear include compact industrial planetary gear units from the P2.e series as well as asynchronous motors from the DRU series.

Why did THM recycling solutions choose SEW-EURODRIVE?

THM recycling solutions GmbH shows how used tires can be turned into new opportunities. With innovative technologies and close cooperation with SEW-EURODRIVE, THM recycling solutions is setting new standards in recycling mechanical engineering.

  • Robust large industrial gear units
  • Technically skilled and solution-oriented consulting focused on error prevention, with insights drawn from past challenges, such as avoiding vibration-related damage
  • Application-specific engineering ensures seamless integration of the solutions into the overall system
  • Compact design to reduce leverage effects
  • Close collaboration and intensive exchange

Overview of implemented solutions for:

Twin-shaft rotary shear:

  • Industrial planetary gear units P3PH042e and P3PH062e
  • Three-phase asynchronous motor from the DRU series

Rotor shredder:

  • Helical industrial gear unit X3FH140e
  • Three-phase asynchronous motor from the DRU series

There is a strong and trusting partnership between THM recycling solutions and SEW-EURODRIVE. These products were carefully selected in close collaboration with customer to maximize the efficiency and reliability of the machines while minimizing operating costs.

At THM recycling solutions, we are grateful to have found a partner in SEW-EURODRIVE who shares our values of quality and performance. Together, we developed a dual-shaft rotary shear that not only delivers impressive power and reliability but also sets new standards in shredding scrap tires, metals, and composites with its replaceable individual blades.
Bernhard Kattesch
Head of Design, THM recycling solutions
THM recycling solutions approached us with an exciting new development: a rotary shear. We were particularly impressed by the innovative overall concept of the machine, which goes far beyond drive technology. Through close collaboration and intensive exchange, we worked together with the customer to develop a tailored concept for this demanding application, based on our P2e gear units. With this new rotary shear, THM recycling solutions is launching a well-thought-out and sophisticated product. We are proud to be part of it.
