ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for energy efficient recycling of reinforced rubber products, such as tires, conveyor belts, and the like, wherein the rubber is reinforced by cords or belts of steel, nylon, fabric and the like. The presence of the reinforcement materials poses not only a necessity to separate the rubber therefrom but also poses a problem of disposing of the reinforcement materials. By placing the reinforced rubber in an environment of ozone (O.sub.3) and applying a force to the rubber, the rubber breaks down leaving the reinforcement materials for ready disposal. The method and apparatus thereby provide an energy efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally safe and acceptable technique for recycling reinforced rubber products.
