Abstract: Apparatus and method for removing rubber from tyres. The apparatus comprises a main housing in which is supported a water jet nozzle assembly, a guide mechanism and a collection chamber. The guiding mechanism directs flattened tyre parts under the nozzle assembly in a manner that is substantially perpendicular to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes at least one nozzle to direct high-pressure water onto the tyre part, to thereby remove the rubber. The rubber is captured and delivered into the collection chamber.
