  • Tire bead wire remover
    Patent number: 10022895
    Abstract: A machine that removes the bead wires from tires for the purpose of reclaiming the wire and recycling of the tire. The bead of the tire is placed over a drive wheel and tension rollers, the tension rollers move away from the drive wheel which stretches the bead against the drive wheel. The drive wheel is driven by a drive system and causes the bead to rotate. As the bead rotates a blade contacts the inner periphery of the bead and severs the rubber and reinforcement material. Directly following the blade are two plates that are spaced apart approximately equal to the diameter of the bead wire. The plates push the rubber and reinforcement material off of the bead wire as the bead rotates.
