(EN) A method for extraction of metal reinforcement from rubber tyres provides for placing the tyre with a metal reinforcement into a high-frequency electromagnetic field, heating it and separating the metal reinforcement from the rubber. A reduction of power consumption and enlarging of technological possibilities of the method are achieved due to squeezing between rollers a local section of the tyre, subsequently heating it up to the temperature of pyrolysis of the rubber layers neighbouring the reinforcement so as to provide for a pyrolytic swelling and then pulling the tyre between said rollers.
