TIREX UPDATE FROM Nov 5thTirex has developed and owns the technology that is a U.S. and Canadian patented, semi-cryogenic tire recycling process, known as the TCS System. It is environmentally friendly, economically viable (even without tipping fees), and reduces scrap tires into -5 to –30 mesh (or finer) clean crumb rubber with a uniquely smooth morphology and saleable, intact steel wire and fiber. Tirex’s proprietary process, that doesn’t use liquid nitrogen, freezes the rubber and then passes it through it’s patented “fracturing mill” which “breaks” the rubber apart, instead of cutting it, exposing the whole strands of steel and fiber, and leaving a value added crumb rubber, we call RutexTM, that is best suited for extrusion molding recycled rubber products and higher end performance surfaces.
Tirex’s full scale TCS prototype was accredited in 2001 by Recycle Quebec. In 2002 Tirex awarded Simpro S.p.A., an internationally certified high tech manufacturer and supplier, with a license agreement to exclusively manufacture the TCS technology and nonexclusive marketing rights.
Tirex and Simpro welcome all governments, companies and investors interested in our business of bringing to market what we believe is the most economically viable and environmentally friendly tire recycling process in the industry.
