Recycled Tire Reshaping and Organization
Mass production problem: Tire and rubber invested into tires, treads, and other controlled rubber products that can be remade into recycled materials.
Technical economic solution: Proper collection, repurpose, and processing of tires, including the internal composition. Physical structure and elements such as artificial rubber, physical metals and steel mesh, as well as any fabrics used for other purposes.
Composition recycling method: Reuse of retired, or semi-retired steel processing factories, for melting, smelting, and chemical breakdown using large areas with spaces and melting vats for processing of physical chemistry. Rubber melting, physical steel melting, and processing into other applications. These include nails remade from tire steel, with the added perk or abundance thereof for producing rubber boxes. (Includes possible recycling of rims, and smelting of valuable alloy.)
Technical shipping solution: Recycled rubber made into industry standard shipment containers for stores that keep hardware on hand. A form of newer shipment boxes for non-food industry as a filling method. This includes things like lift pads, steel belted pallets, and potential to reuse tire based liners within truck beds as a substitution for physical linings within automotive industry. (Truck bed liners, and other forms of quickly applied coatings can be more cost effective, and have spray to area adhesion. This might include forms of application for physical steel belts, and other composite materials.)
Complex management potential: Breakdown and processing of individual components, sidewalls, and outer rubber into reusable applications for use within construction, such as printed materials, rubber sealant, and future (3D printing) applications that include easily separated rubber, synthetic and natural.
As a series of suggestions the total scope of this presentation is a part of a whole picture that shows how individual equipment itself can literally and directly be repurposed to gain added value. The value itself is applied through real world implementation which includes being able to uniquely reprocess items which require industrial strength solutions.
The method of making or combining the core elements of this physical recycling process does not always lend to a bigger is always better methodology. The essential pursuit of taking larger tires for recycling can be remade with this list: Shaving, shaping, and reconstructing them into forklift wheels, then into tires for small driving vehicles like golf carts, purposes such as wheelbarrow tires and further thinned into bicycle and tread or grip, and of course, made into mini-tires for "Hot Wheels" and even other smaller toys.
Within a different form to fit, creating similar industry standards, such as conveyor belts, floor mats, and industrial "wall molding" for around locations with heavy traffic from vehicles and inventory shipments holds potential as a multiple stage recycle program and project. It stops the shred for your lives mentality, and can embrace applications which are still industrial, and gritty, but need applications of buffering technology.
This itself does not have to be tedious, nor should it create or necessitate newer methods of processing. There are multiple ways to lay flat, align, and possibly stitch together rubber flats made from old tires. The goal is to reuse the simple, but "tank tread" attachable devices. This indicates things like lawn aerators, highly simplified and utility. Abstract but full of potential, productive and worthy of being considered humor is the application of a bio-diesel rigged short tank or armored personnel carrier which can punch holes, shred, or by other methods extract the metal components.
Completely a heavy machinery production, this circumstance is doable on asphalt and other hard surfaces, over the lands of junk yards, and even on abandoned parking lots. The ability to use high pressure force to pressure cut holes, or shred holds true to simple measures which can be highly productive. The alternative use of the functional, but aging technology and hardware implies that treads that still run have applicable renewal value. Large area cultivations, and farm tools, such as those pulled behind tractors have obvious indications of reuse within this realm of recycling and reuse. The potential to take 100 older continuous track vehicles to recycle entire junk yards full of rubber tires holds a yield solution, especially if it shreds, cuts, and punches through in a way that is reuse.
Problematic venture capital ideas:
The physical units processed have to shipped and sorted properly by multiple levels of training. (Not all tires are the same size.)
The recycling method has to be chosen after trial and error. It is possible it will or will not work the first time around. (The potential to make this practical requires multiples of heavy industry.)
The fuel, which can be sourced from the reprocessed rubber itself after the initial intake pattern has to be originally sourced, possibly from the government or other fuel allowance allocation. (This means that the start-up cost of production might only be handled by "Not in use." National Guard vehicles.)
The ability to find, scrap, or nearly broken field tilling devices is likely easy, finding the type, strength, and total operational utility of a unit would require a few test runs. (It would be best to not manufacture individual units of this type, but in fact to refit, or modify as necessary from existing equipment.)
Granule or even small punched rubber portions are easily converted into other potentials, and depending on how hard the "punch" action was, they might include pieces of steel or other parts from the tire layers. This itself makes it possible for two forms of manufacture, control of punch and pressure when obtaining granules, or rubber punches. (This is suggestive of a unit of measure that is similar into size to the end of a pencil that contains an eraser piece.) The technicality of using these punched portions which might contain a metallic layer indicates the potential use within unexpected industry. The construction industry itself can make "sponge-crete" like concrete that is spongy. The implications are interesting for places that have high amounts of seismic activity, transverse locations that require elasticity, and even forms of "spring" to exist internally. Other suggestions might be actual interior door seals, or "running boards" from a variety of stand points. Putting a cinch reference in here is necessary, as the probability for reuse and application within real world occupations frequently requires, a strap, a cinch, a tie, or a spacer. Of course other uses can suggest small tools manufacturer, and hand tools that do not require large amounts of anything but grip, but if it does not have a grip, how do you use it?
While defining a pattern, that is sheared, shredded, or otherwise cut into a shape, the end product can be inspected. The goal would be to create industrial era style rubber containers, that are themselves recycled, and can easily be broken down and made into other functions that fit into a standard that makes it possible to have a valuable product after the sorting, and recycling of material. Containers, boxes, shipping receptacles, and even other sheets of flexible material have applicable value within a global market. The refinement of a potential exists through multiple channels or options of recycling. Reduction via highly specialized salt-water battery on a freight container into a fuel that is delivered to a client, doable but speculative at best. High heat processing into a form of fuel, partial coal, and other breakdown is advanced, and covers the conversion factors, but requires a high heat furnace and other peripheral training. It would seem application of hardware and mechanical driven forces apply the least change as an industry, with the least amount of refit, while keeping the basic factors of processing intact.
The likelihood of an applied recycling location being made into a self-contained unit is possible, but that reduces education. The ability to establish a location which reduces visible eye-sore dilemma of modern society is chic, but applies an out of sight out of mind concept. The pursuit of storage, and out of the way locations for health, safety, and consolidation pertains the control of resources, but pursuing a grounded, viable, and visually understandable solution helps expedite learning through example. It should not be the goal of waste handling to disappear the physical items, but instead to educate by normal methods. It should be essential to establish a method which is repeatable on every scale, on each level of society, and that can be handled by people and machines with nearly no training.
Converting rubber tires into fuel and making that a streamlined industry of the future is a vital part of society standards. Creating something useful and possibly appealing in terms of art from previously scrapped materials is an advancement of society over wasted resources. The processing of materials into a different form or application which allows further civil production manifests positive change, but providing the hardware, technology, and original fuel that shifts that must also be considered. The tire processing and recycling industry might be one nuclear power plant away from becoming a linear and properly paced endeavor, but the orders of magnitude have to be equated to output potential of a physical resource. Will a heap of tires turned into fuel be equal to the force necessary for the industrial factors to keep reduction of the scrap flowing and continue recycling without providing more elaborate power or processing methods?
Addendum:
This essay and general discourse is a series in a composition of essays to describe how a single individual, with cooperation, can use a process describe(d) as: Reverse Acquisitions: Leverage buyout employing logistics, analytics, and distribution of novel technological development. A debt remediation and insurance (assurance) solution.
As with prospective avenues of manufacturing or industrial processing incentive for profit and other operations must be able to provide all necessary materials and machinery. Large scale recycling and other forms of waste processing have to be able to create and manage a large volumes of materials and in doing require the utility to seek novel solutions which create more power through possible end point solutions.
