Rubber granulates

TRITOGRAN is a product made of tire rubber after it was separated from the other components (canvas and iron) during the production cycle.

At the end of the process, the old tire is reduced to a micro granulate of various diameter, ready to go back into the industrial cycle for the production of rubber tools, flooring, conveyor belts, and soon will be used as a component of asphalt, And already in use in the tarring of roads.

 

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY

The fine power can be used in production processes to obtain several 

Types of rubber product. 

The most used rubber products containing this powder are:

 

CASTERS
Casters and strips with a granule base are frequently used in mobile ware such as trolleys, suitcases, skates, wheelbarrows, pushchairs and other items. Casters composed in this way have shown they are long lasting.

 

CAR PARTS AND RUBBER MATS
Considerable quantities of recycled rubber from tires are used in the manufacturing of vehicle accessories. The principle is to mix rubber granules with other products to manufacture components such as steering wheels, hoses, internal coverings, mats, aeration systems, etc.

 

FOOTWEAR
For years, footwear companies have been using considerable quantities of fine rubber powder that comes from recycled tires. It is particularly evident in the production of the soles of sport shoes where it allows shock absorbency, a reduction in toil and improved comfort.

Its use is encouraged due to particular product features in terms of: its durability, in deformability at high and low temperatures, anti-slip properties and cut resistance.

 

THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

INSULATION AND SOUND-PROOFING
There is widespread use of rubber granules in the production of rubber insulating panels suitable for noise reduction:
– in civil buildings (sound insulation of internal walls from noise in the horizontal and vertical structures);
– in industrial buildings (sound insulation of internal and external walls from noise coming from production implant, anti-vibrators);
– in the insulation of particularly noisy machinery.
The function of acoustic insulation products is to avoid the propagation of sound energy beyond the structures. the rubber panels prevent noise going beyond the structure, therefore creating an insulating sound barrier for medium and low frequencies.

 

ANTI-VIBRATIONS
Rubber granules are also used in the production of anti-vibration panels which function to produce an insulating effect to avoid vibration propagation in flooring, the next building or in precision equipment. These anti-vibration panels are efficient in several situations and can be used for:
– machine insulation as a supporting base (for example for a compressor, a press, a rotating machine, a sensitive device, etc.);
– insulation to reduce vibrations produced by passing trains, trams, and subways.

 

URBAN FITTINGS
another important use of products deriving from granulated rubber is in urban fitting items such as speed ramps, circulation limiting posts, roundabout curbs, cones, parking stops. The manufacturing process used to produce these items is the same as that used for flooring. Their benefits are expressed both in terms of citizen safety (in case of falls from motorbikes and bicycles) and the ease with which they are laid down. It is without doubt that this technology can make a great contribution, in terms of reducing the risk of injuries.

CIVIL AND INDUSTRIAL FLOORING

 

THE CIVIL FIELD
In the civil field, one of the most widespread applications is the production of rubber tiles, made to withstand wear and atmospheric agents. They are mainly used in amusement parks, swimming pool borders, sports areas, outside Montessori schools and cycling tracks.
The goal of these urban fitting products is to eliminate, or reduce the chance of slipping and reduce the impact of a fall in areas where people usually run, jump, play, etc. 

 

THE INDUSTRIAL FIELD
In the industrial field rubber granules are used to produce rubber flooring which, other than having specific hygiene (easy to clean and maintain) and safety (anti-slip, anti-shock) features, are also soundproof, with anti-vibration and insulating qualities.
An interesting application of industrial flooring is represented by rubber flooring for bovine farms.

To avoid discomfort caused to the animal by direct contact of the hoof with the concrete surface, assuring more comfortable, hygienic conditions for the animal. In fact, rubber is softer, warmer, less porous and therefore cleaner and more hygienic than concrete.

 

SPORTS GROUNDS

The use of granulated rubber in the sports field is very popular since various sports facilities are used from early schooling years. Therefore, by looking closely we can
