Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cutting tire rings from tires. The tire is held in a tire guide. A moveably drive roller is positioned and, in one position the roller is pressing against the treaded portion of the tire, causing a bulge directed radially towards an inside of the tire, and rotating the tire. At least one moveable blade is arranged on a shaft outside of an opening in the tire and the blade being guidable into the inside of the tire through the opening and further guidable towards any position on the inside of the bulge for cutting the rotating.

Abstract: A method for processing tires and providing a product made form the tire material, by cutting each tire by a sequence of cuts to form two side walls and several tire rings of the running tread, separating the two side walls from the tire rings of running tread, combining the tire rings together to form the product by looping a first tire rings directly to a second tire rings, the second tire rings is looped directly to the third tire rings until the n−1 tire rings is looped to the last tire rings to form an interwoven mesh product, which may be formed to provide a flat product or a hollow product.
