The tire recycling industry is one of the most demanding sectors, requiring cutting equipment capable of withstanding extreme wear, high impact loads, and severe operating conditions. In processes such as shredding and size reduction of steel-reinforced vehicle tires, machine performance directly depends on the quality of industrial blades used.
Yalman Knives is a specialized manufacturer of heavy-duty shredder blades, crusher knives, and granulator blades for tire recycling facilities. Our products are engineered to provide maximum durability against the intense abrasion and shock loads created by the combination of rubber, textile fibers, and steel wire.
Blades used in waste tire processing operate under difficult conditions such as:
High abrasiveness due to steel-reinforced tire structure
Impact and shock loads
Continuous and heavy material feed
Difficult cutting behavior caused by elastic materials
Long operating hours with minimal downtime tolerance
These conditions require more than standard cutting tools — they demand industrial blades made from optimized alloy steels with precisely controlled heat treatment.
Yalman Knives produces blades for the following systems:
Used for primary shredding of vehicle tires. Manufactured with a balanced toughness–hardness structure suitable for high-torque operation.
Provide high wear resistance during size reduction and material homogenization stages.
Deliver precise cutting performance in secondary shredding and granule sizing processes.
Produced from premium European tool steels, our blades provide long service life against the rubber-steel combination found in tires.
Our in-house vacuum heat treatment ensures:
Homogeneous hardness distribution
Reduced residual stresses
Lower micro-crack risk
Stable field performance
All blades undergo post heat treatment machining, ensuring perfect mounting surface contact, reduced vibration, and fewer assembly-related issues.
Our fully integrated manufacturing structure guarantees the same quality in every production batch, enabling predictable maintenance planning.
With Yalman Knives blades, recycling facilities achieve:
Longer service life
Reduced unplanned downtime
More stable cutting performance
Lower operating costs
For tire recycling plants, Yalman Knives is not just a blade supplier — we are an engineering solution partner in cutting technologies.
