SlideCut-1200 Tire Cutting Machine for Sidewall Separation
The SlideCut-1200 is a specialized slide-type tire cutting machine designed to optimize the initial stage of waste tire processing. Specifically engineered for tires with a diameter of less than 1200mm, this equipment addresses the need for high-speed separation of the tire crown from the sidewalls (beads).
By utilizing a unique sliding rail feed mechanism combined with simultaneous double-sided cutting, the SlideCut-1200 significantly reduces manual labor intensity while ensuring consistent output quality.

Operational Mechanics of the Slide-type Tire Cutting Machine
The core advantage of the SlideCut-1200 lies in its slide-type tire cutting machine architecture. Unlike stationary fixtures where operators must manually lift and center heavy tires, this unit employs a horizontal slide rail system. Operators simply load the tire onto the slide mechanism, which then guides the tire precisely into the cutting station.
Once positioned, the double-sided tire cutting machine engages two alloy blades simultaneously. This dual-action approach cuts both sidewalls at the same time, effectively doubling the processing speed compared to single-sided cutters. The system is driven by a robust 12.5KW motor, providing sufficient torque to penetrate reinforced steel wires in truck tires without stalling. This makes it a reliable piece of heavy duty tire cutting equipment for continuous industrial use.
Applications in Tire Recycling
The SlideCut-1200 serves as the primary gateway for material volume reduction. It is effectively a waste tire bead separator, isolating the steel-rich bead rings from the rubber-rich tread.
Retreading: Provides clean, intact tire crowns required for the retreading process.
Crumbing: Acts as a tire ring cutter to remove heavy steel wires before shredding, protecting the shredder blades from premature wear.
For facilities aiming to automate their workflow, the SlideCut-1200 can be the initial processing unit in a completeunit in a complete tire recycling line. Its high throughput of 30-40 tires per hour ensures that downstream equipment is consistently fed, maintaining overall plant efficiency.
