​TireHog can effectively recycle 1,200 tires per day

Lubrication Specialties, Inc. (LSI), has introduced a practical and self-sustaining solution for recycling tires. The LSI TireHog is a 100% mobile machine that uses microwave renewable technology to recycle up to 1,200 tires per day. With the TireHog, microwaves break down tires in a continuous process along a conveyor belt, ultimately allowing for rapid reclamation of high-quality, economically valuable end products, including carbon black, oil, and natural gas.

« Our initial testing indicates one TireHog machine can produce 2.8 million pounds of carbon, 1.5 million pounds of oil, and 1.3 million pounds of gas per year, » says Chris Gabrelcik, president and CEO of Lubrication Specialties. « These estimates translate to a yearly value of $1.8 million in carbon black, $258,470 in crude oil, and $102,495 in natural gas. »
