2125280 9408768 PCTABS00032 An apparatus (10) for liquifying tires is shown in a first form including a plurality of tire modules (12) holding tires which are immersed in and preheated by a slurry located in a tank (22). After preheating, the tire module (12) and tires held thereon are removed from the preheat tank (22) and are immersed in a slurry located in a high temperature tank (28). The temperature of the slurry in the high temperature tank (28) is sufficient to liquify the tires. As the tires liquify, the slurry produced is retained in the high temperature tank (28) to immerse further tires and also overflows from the high temperature tank (28) to the preheat tank (22) and then to a storage tank (36). The slurry from the storage tank (36) can be pumped to the burner (42) of the heat exchanger (48) for heating the slurry in the high temperature tank (28) or can be used for other purposes. In an alternate form, the apparatus (10) includes a vertical stack of tires held in a basket (64) removably supported in a tank (62), with the height of the stack being greater than the outlet (74) of the tank (62) and the level of the slurry located in the tank (62). Thus, the tires above the slurry are preheated prior to being immersed in the slurry and act as a weight to move the stack of tires downward as the lower tires in the slurry are melted.
