Production line and factory setup overview
This proposal presents a practical low-entry tire recycling line for Afghanistan. Bead cutting, steel separation, granulation and grading of rubber crumb. The starting configuration prioritizes economical Chinese machinery, local fabrication of noncritical items, affordable local labor, simple buildings and phased automation.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one semi-automatic shift and the minimum core equipment needed for tire recycling line; add automatic handling and higher-speed packing after demand is proven.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Receiving
- Sorting
- Size reduction
- Separation
- Cleaning
- Reprocessing
- Packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Local production can replace selected imported finished goods.
- Affordable land, labor and local fabrication reduce the entry threshold.
- A one-shift starting model limits working-capital pressure.
- Modular equipment allows capacity to grow with confirmed sales.
- Clean recycled feedstock - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Baled recovered material - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Granulated intermediate - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Saleable recycled product - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
