Gran Traps and Material
The Tire Recycling Process at Cumberland Rubber Supply
Cumberland Rubber Supply is a leading innovator in the tire recycling industry, specializing in the production of high-quality granulated rubber for applications such as gun range bullet traps. With years of experience and advanced technologies, Cumberland Rubber stands out as a trusted supplier for government organizations and commercial enterprises requiring premium granulated rubber products. Our most popular products, the SRRM2000 and VBRM2000, are designed to meet rigorous specifications and deliver unmatched performance in demanding environments.
Sourcing High-Quality Raw Materials
Granulated rubber products manufactured by Cumberland Rubber originate from over-the-road and pneumatic tires. Through strategic partnerships with tire manufacturers, a significant portion of the tires processed are 100% new. This ensures exceptional product purity, which is crucial for applications such as bullet traps, where consistent performance is non-negotiable.
Advanced Recycling Technologies
The process of tire recycling at Cumberland Rubber employs state-of-the-art machinery valued at millions of dollars. These systems are meticulously engineered to separate rubber from wire and fiber, removing nearly all impurities from the final product. Key technologies used in this process include:
-Cutting Systems: Precision cutting machinery reduces tires into manageable pieces for further processing.
-Magnetic Separation: This step extracts metallic components from the shredded material, ensuring a cleaner product.
-Fiber Removal: Advanced equipment eliminates residual fibers, producing granulated rubber with superior purity.
-These combined processes create granulated rubber that meets and often exceeds industry standards for cleanliness and performance.
Specialty Products: SRRM2000 and VBRM2000
Cumberland Rubber offers two flagship products:
SRRM2000: A premium granulated rubber designed for a wide range of ballistic and non-ballistic applications. This product is highly regarded for its consistent quality and durability.
VBRM2000: This unique product is derived exclusively from blemished ballistic blocks, sheets, and panels. Because of its specialized origin, VBRM2000 is a rare and highly coveted product, available in limited supply. Its exceptional properties make it ideal for use in environments that demand the highest levels of performance.
Ensuring Product Purity
All granulated rubber produced by Cumberland Rubber passes through a highly complex and rigorous processing system designed to remove 100% of impurities. Despite the advanced technology employed, a small chance exists for trace amounts of impurities to remain in the batch due to part size or the introduction of other recycled rubber materials from previous runs. However, this low percentage of impurities is well within industry standards and does not affect the performance of the product in practical applications.
Granulated Rubber Specifications
The average size of granulated rubber particles produced by Cumberland Rubber ranges between ¾ inch and 1 inch. This size is ideal for use in bullet traps, where the material must reliably absorb and contain the energy of incoming projectiles. The consistent sizing also facilitates easy installation and maintenance, ensuring long-term performance in gun range environments.
Custom Capabilities
In addition to its standard products, Cumberland Rubber has the capability to manufacture custom granulated rubber components tailored to specific client needs. This flexibility allows the company to serve a diverse range of industries and applications while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability.
