ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for reducing to particles tread portions and beaded side wall portions of vehicle tires, particularly extra large vehicle tires, or for preparing such vehicle tires for recapping, comprises a tire holder assembly, having a paired set of dual jacks carried by opposite ends, respectively, of elongate, rigid, tire clamping frames, and a rotary, cutter blade assembly made up of a side-by-side series of disks carrying cutter blades of chisel type offset from one another to provide a helically oriented series of such cutting blades. Opposite side and end members of each of the frames provide for clamping corresponding side wall beads of a received tire, while opposite ends of opposite end members of the respective frames, usually clamping corners thereof, span respective chords of the circumferences of corresponding beads of the tire. When the tire is to be recapped, arcuate attachments are secured to the mutually spaced, opposite, clamping corners of the ends of the frames that contact a corresponding tire bead. An optional but important feature of the invention is the progressive cutting of the tire in a cryogenic atmosphere which freezes exposed surfaces of the tire, and the mounting of a group of separate, residual, beaded side wall portions of sequentially cut tires in the tire holder assembly of the same apparatus for cutting such side wall portions down to the heavily reinforced beads thereof.
