The TCS system is a semi-cryogenic process that uses a “cold air” in order to reach the point where the rubber tire glazes. Then separate it from other components inside of the tire: fiber (only for passenger car tires) and steel.
The production of cold air, needed to operate the plant, occurs in a particular way that is sub-cooled using ambient air. Currently there are technologies on the market that use liquid nitrogen for this activity with much higher costs, or alternatively the tires are “ground” mechanically, a process that does not reach high levels of separation and purity of the components of the tire and fineness of the rubber powder.
The breaking of the tire, after the freezing is done, parts go through a special machine that compresses the tire sections, breaking them up into smaller pieces (+ / – 5 mesh and above) and making the separation between the components.
The whole process is designed to protect the environment and is based on a closed loop of resources.
