Abstract: The invention concerns an installation comprising continuously and successively: at least a station (A) automatically supplying tires; at least a station (B) for simultaneously removing each of the bead cores present in the tire rims; at least a station (C) for gradually crushing, along their circumference, the tires without bead cores; at least a station (D) for transversely cutting the crushed tires to obtain strip sections; at least a station (E) for treating the strip sections to separate the rubber material and the metal plies of the tire body from the running tread of each of the strip sections by reducing the rubber material to rubber crumb; means (12-13-14) for separately recuperating the rubber crumb and the strands of metal plies; the different stations and means are synchronously controlled for automatically and continuously treating and recycling tires.
