ABSTRACT:
A tire shredding machine which does not require the massive amount of machinery required for existing tire shredders and which is safe and simple to use is disclosed. The tire shredding machine of the present invention essentially includes a housing with a safety hood, several wheels, and guide elements or wings. In order to shred a tire, the tire is cut in half and each half is fed into the machine one at a time. The safety hood remains in an open position until the tire is fed into the machine. Once the tire is in the machine, the hood is placed into a closed position, a switch is activated, and the wheels pull the half of the tire into the machine. The tire contacts the guide elements which, in turn, spread out or flatten the tire so that the tire may be fed into a grinder which shreds the tire.
