Waste tyre recycling plant
Tyre recycling is the process of recycling waste tyres that are no longer suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or irreparable damage. Due to their huge volume, high durability, and inclusion of environmentally problematic, non-biodegradable components, tyres pose a difficult source of waste. If waste tyres are improperly managed they may cause rubber pollution.
Waste tyre recycling plant is a profitable and efficient way to manage tyre waste. You can benefit greatly from the recycling of used tyres since it can create steel wire, combustible gas, pyrolysis oil, and carbon black. Tyre pyrolysis also contributes to reducing trash.
Uses of waste tyre-derived products
Fuel oil (45%-55%)
- Sold as a heating material to cement factories, glass factories, ceramic factories, power plants, steel factories, boiler factories, etc.
- Used to generate electricity with heavy oil generator.
- Deeply processed into diesel oil using our distillation plants, paint and odor removal systems, the final oil can be used in trucks, tractors and more.
- Hot Melt Asphalt, usually as Crumb Rubber Modifier – Recycled Asphalt Paving (CRM – RAP)
Carbon black (30%-35%)
- Make it into pellets or briquettes as heating material.
- Used as a building material or low-grade fuel, or as a filler in the rubber industry, paints and coatings, ink manufacturing, and other industrial applications.
- Make a carbon color masterbatch and sell it to the plastics industry.
Steel wire (10%-15%)
- Sell directly to steel mills.
- Manufacture of steel ingots by hydraulic press
Combustible gas (8%-10%)
- Heat the reactor back into the furnace instead of coal/wood/oil/natural gas
Tyre Pyrolysis Process
In order to recycle used tyres, pyrolysis is a process that involves heating either whole or shredded tyres in a reactor vessel with an oxygen-free atmosphere. The rubber is softened in the reactor, afterwards the rubber polymers disintegrate into smaller molecules. Eventually, these smaller molecules evaporate and leave the reactor. Direct burning of these vapors will produce oil gas, which will then enter the gas separator. While the light oil gas will be sent to the oil condenser as liquefied oil and collected in the oil tank, the heavy components will be liquefied in the gas separator and dropped into the sludge oil tank.
The unliquefied combustible gas also enters the hydro seal at this time. The steel wire and carbon black can then be removed from the discharge system. Magnets are used to remove the steel from the solid stream. About 40% of the minerals that made up the tyre’s weight are removed as solid ashes.
