Of the 30 million scrap tires recycled into ground rubber in U.S. per year, some 6 million (20%) find their way to the Edge Rubber plant in Chambersburg (PA), USA, the oldest and most successful facility producing fine mesh crumb rubber in the United States. One of the most efficient scrap rubber plants in the country, much of the plant's efficiency is attributable to its bulk raw material handling system utilizing six Flexicon bulk bag dischargers.
