CM Shredders has seen wire-free Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) gain significant popularity as an alternative fuel source for several compelling reasons, including a mix of economic, environmental, and energy performance advantages
This is particularly true for waste-to-energy plants, cement kilns, and other industrial applications. In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial tyre recycling, CM Shredders has established itself as a leader and innovator, underscored by its exceptional success with the CM Liberator and its complementary CM Zero Waste Wire Cleaning System.
CM Shredders’ trajectory of success extends beyond local markets to global resonance and appeal. The company has achieved significant milestones with the sales of the CM Liberator and the CM Zero Waste Systems, marking its presence across continents. Notably, new installations have been reported in the United Kingdom, Spain, Japan, and South Korea, signifying the universal demand for efficient and innovative recycling solutions.
The U.S. market has been particularly receptive to the advanced recycling turnkey systems and solutions offered by CM Shredders. The company enjoys a strong client base and robust sales across the nation, with new installations proliferating in multiple states across the U.S. in 2023, and even more expected in 2024.
CM’s latest achievements include the development and installation of a state-of-the-art, high-capacity liberation system for Geocycle North America. Geocycle, a subsidiary of Holcim—a global titan in waste management and one of the world’s leading suppliers of cement, aggregates, and concrete—sought out CM Shredders for a solution that could meet its exacting standards. This collaboration underscores CM Shredders’ ability to deliver custom, high-performance recycling systems and solutions that cater to the specific needs of global leaders in waste management and materials technology.
At the heart of CM Shredders’ technological advancements is the CM Liberator, a system designed to separate steel wire from tyre rubber in the cleanest form possible. Its patented flow-through design minimises pinch points, while the serrated knife design enhances the cutting process, resulting in increased production.
The CM 4R Liberator, in particular, stands out for its ability to purify wire from rubber tyres, enabling processors to maximise revenue from both materials. The system’s operational efficiency is further enhanced by its robust design and reliability, ensuring long-term cost savings for clients.
The CM Liberator stands out as a symbol of innovation in the recycling industry. Designed to efficiently process a wide range of materials, it exemplifies CM Shredders’ commitment to advancing recycling technologies. The success of the Liberator is attributed to its versatility, durability, and the significant cost savings it offers to recycling operations by maximising material recovery.
The CM Zero Waste System further elevates the purity level of separated materials, cleaning steel wire to up to 98 per cent free of contaminants. This not only enables processors to enhance their environmental contributions but also significantly increases the resale value of steel, creating a lucrative opportunity in the recycling market.
