REGOM, is excited to announce the launch of its new tyre identification machine and industrial line at the newly established TC Environnement (TCE) facility
Located on a 4-hectare site in Digoin, France, TCE represents a major leap forward for both companies, combining advanced technology and sustainable practices to address the growing demand for efficient tyre recycling solutions.
TCE marks the next chapter in a journey that began with TC58, a subsidiary of the TC Group focused on logistics and transportation. It was at TC58 where the first version of REGOM’s tyre sorting machine was initially introduced. Today, the full tyre sorting and recycling operation has transitioned to TCE, now home to a new state-of-the-art industrial line.
A Leader with Practical Knowledge
What sets this project apart is not only the technology and the expertise but also the leadership driving it. Arthur Wagner, the CEO of both REGOM and TCE, brings unique insight into the industry. Wagner understands the day-to-day realities of tyre recycling. His involvement in both businesses provides him with a rare combination of technical knowledge and hands-on experience. This allows REGOM to create solutions that go beyond simply selling machines; the company delivers systems built from a genuine understanding of the operational challenges faced by tyre recyclers.
Wagner commented on the significance of this transition; “Moving our tyre sorting operations from TC58 to TCE has allowed us to scale up our capacity and expand our capabilities. With the newly engineered industrial line and the addition of the Precimeca shredder, we’ve greatly improved our efficiency, making us more competitive in an increasingly regulated recycling industry. This setup not only allows us to create new revenue streams but also helps us stay ahead in a market that demands both innovation and sustainability.”
A Fully Engineered Line: REGOM’s End-to-End Expertise
The new industrial line at TCE is proof to REGOM’s full engineering expertise. The entire project, from the initial concept to the final installation, was managed internally by the REGOM’s team: from the unloading of tyres at the facility to the final stages of sorting and shredding. The system begins with tyre debulking, separation, and alignment, all synchronised with REGOM’s advanced identification and sorting machine. Tyres are then graded according to specific criteria, and data is compiled by proprietary software that tracks every stage of the process.
Once the grading is complete, the tyres are either sorted for resale and retreading or sent to the shredding stage, where batches of non-reusable tyres are processed for other recycling streams. By handling each phase—tyre intake, identification, sorting, and final exit—REGOM ensures that each system is perfectly integrated into their client’s operations.
The Future of Tyre Recycling
As demand for sustainable recycling practices continues to grow, facilities like TCE will play a critical role in shaping the future of the industry. REGOM’s approach—combining technological innovation with a deep understanding of the industry’s operational realities—ensures that the company remains at the forefront of tyre recycling advancements.
