Tire-Derived Fuel for Kilns, Mills, and Utilities
We make tire-derived fuel from quality truck tires. The chips are all-black material. TDF is a fuel, not a turf or playground product. Plants use it when they are built and permitted to burn it.
Willig Tire Recycling supplies TDF chips for this work. If you also need crumb for a different job, that’s a separate product line.
TDF for Cement Kilns, Paper Mills, and Utilities
Cement kilns burn tire-derived fuel in the manufacturing process. Paper mills and utility boilers that are set up for TDF use it as a supplemental fuel. Each plant has its own chip size and handling system. We quote to what you run.
Ask for a spec sheet if you need numbers for your fuel program.
Power Plants and Steel Mills
Power plants and steel mills that are equipped for TDF also buy tire-derived fuel chips. Tell us the size you run, the quantity, and where the truck is going, and we’ll quote it.
TDF Chips vs. Crumb Rubber
TDF chips are the fuel product. For crumb and other sized rubber, we make 10/20 mesh, 20 minus, 20/30 mesh, 30 minus, and 1/4 inch. Custom sizes are available on request.
Packaging, Freight, and Ordering
TDF chips ship in bulk bags or bulk loads, by truckload nationwide. Contact sales@willigtire.com or use the contact form. We operate in Galion, Ohio (North, 352 South St.) and Hamilton, Ohio (South).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tire-derived fuel?
Tire-derived fuel, or TDF, is shredded scrap-tire material used as fuel in industrial plants that are equipped and permitted to use it. Our TDF chips are made from truck tires and are all-black material.
Which plants use TDF?
Cement kilns, paper mills, utilities, power plants, and steel mills are common users, along with other industrial facilities set up for TDF.
Is TDF the same as crumb rubber?
No. TDF chips are a fuel product. Crumb rubber is a sized product for turf, molding, asphalt, and similar uses. We make both, and they are ordered separately.
Do you publish fuel-value or emissions data here?
Fuel and lab values are on a spec sheet, available on request.
How do you ship TDF chips?
In bulk bags or bulk loads, by truckload nationwide. Tell us the size your system handles, the quantity, and the delivery location.
