Buyer qualification roadmap

Continuous tyre pyrolysis plant: from project fit to acceptance

Use this sequence to turn a general equipment enquiry into a comparable technical brief. Model numbers, capacities, yields, utility demand and emission performance are not universal: they must be tied to a representative feed specification, a defined site and written acceptance conditions.

Project fit and operating model

Decision: Decide whether a continuous line fits the real feed supply and operating calendar better than a batch system.

Evidence to prepare

Annual tyre availability, delivery pattern and storage plan
Planned shifts, operating days, shutdown windows and staffing model
Documented continuous-versus-batch selection basis

Feedstock window and preparation

Decision: Define the tyre and rubber fractions the line must accept before selecting feeding or reactor equipment.

Evidence to prepare

Representative samples, tyre mix, contamination and moisture data
Steel removal strategy and required particle-size distribution
Shredder, screening, conveying and buffer-storage boundaries

Throughput and performance basis

Decision: Set the capacity basis and the conditions under which performance will be measured and accepted.

Evidence to prepare

Hourly feed rate, annual throughput and availability assumptions
Feed specification used for mass and energy balances
Guaranteed values, test duration, tolerances and exclusion conditions

Process configuration and battery limits

Decision: Map every included system and every interface the buyer must provide outside the equipment package.

Evidence to prepare

Process flow and equipment list from preparation through solids handling
Heating, condensation, non-condensable-gas and flue-gas treatment scope
Civil works, storage, packaging and downstream upgrading interfaces

Outputs and offtake specifications

Decision: Define saleable or usable specifications for every output instead of relying on generic yield percentages.

Evidence to prepare

Sampling and test methods for tyre-derived oil and recovered carbon material
Steel, gas, wastewater and residue handling requirements
Named offtake route, upgrading step and rejection criteria for each stream

Site, utilities and layout

Decision: Confirm that the proposed site can supply the utilities, access and space required by the complete line.

Evidence to prepare

Plot plan, logistics routes, storage volumes and maintenance clearances
Electrical load, cooling-water duty, fuel, nitrogen and compressed-air basis
Drainage, firewater, communications and local ambient design conditions

Safety, emissions and permitting

Decision: Translate local permit conditions into design features, monitoring points and acceptance tests.

Evidence to prepare

Applicable waste, air, water, fire, pressure-equipment and zoning rules
Hazard review, interlocks, shutdown logic and gas-leak response philosophy
Emission limits, sampling locations, test methods and responsible parties

Maintenance and lifecycle plan

Decision: Evaluate maintainability and expected operating cost across the planned service life, not only the initial equipment price.

Evidence to prepare

Cleaning and inspection intervals tied to the actual feedstock
Critical spares, wear parts, specialist tools and local service coverage
Planned downtime, training, remote support and obsolescence responsibilities

Commercial scope and acceptance

Decision: Make the proposal comparable by aligning scope, exclusions, schedule, warranties and acceptance criteria.

Evidence to prepare

Responsibility matrix for design, supply, installation and commissioning
Payment milestones linked to drawings, inspection, delivery and testing
Factory and site acceptance protocols, remedies and warranty triggers

RFQ input package

Decision: Issue one controlled project brief so every supplier prices the same technical basis.

Evidence to prepare

Feedstock data, site location, throughput basis and target outputs
Required battery limits, utilities, permit conditions and delivery boundary
Evidence register covering drawings, calculations, certificates and references

Include feedstock samples or analysis, the required operating calendar, site utilities, target output specifications and local permit conditions. This makes technical and commercial proposals easier to compare.

The Pyrojin continuous tyre pyrolysis plant converts pre-crushed tyre rubber powder into fuel-grade pyrolysis oil, steel wire and carbon black in a sealed, continuous process. It is built for medium and large-scale operators running 24/7 at 20-50 tonnes per day, with automated feeding and discharge to minimise manual handling.

How a Continuous Tyre Pyrolysis Plant Works

Rubber powder is conveyed into the reactor through a sealed, nitrogen-protected feeding system.
The powder is indirectly heated above 200 °C under slight negative pressure with no oxygen contact.
Oil vapour is condensed into liquid fuel oil; non-condensable gas is separated.
Purified non-condensable gas is recycled to fuel the furnace, cutting external energy use by about 50%.
Flue gas is treated through alkali neutralisation (desulphurisation) and an adsorption tower before Treated discharge.
Carbon black is discharged through a water-cooled screw conveyor to automatic packaging - the whole line stays enclosed and automated.

Series capacity covers 20-50 t/d. Main reactor runs at slight negative pressure, horizontal rotation 0.3 rpm, circulating-water cooling, noise ≤85 dB, installation footprint approx. 50 m × 20 m, 1-2 operators per shift.

Outputs and Yields

Fuel oil (40±3%) - fuel-grade pyrolysis oil for industrial use and further refining.
Steel wire (≈13%) - recovered for scrap-metal recycling.
Carbon black (≈35%) - recycled raw material for rubber, plastics and other industries.

Key Equipment Features

Dual-gear screw sealed feeding for tyre powder under pressure.
Multi-stage sealed slag discharge holding residue at about 50 °C.
Slight-negative-pressure gas containment with emission controls configured to project requirements.
Automatic cleaning system for furnace and condenser coke removal.
High-speed rail drive with tapered bearings for smooth, low-noise running.
Self-powered gas recycling cutting about 50% of external energy use.
Lean-manning automation (1-2 operators per shift).
Temperature-control system configured around the selected process.
Automatic nitrogen safety system for leak sealing and alarming.
Centralised control console for real-time line monitoring.

Continuous vs Batch Pyrolysis

	Continuous (PC)	Batch (PB)
Scale	≥10,000 t/year	≈3,000 t/year
Operation	24/7	Single furnace per day
Automation	High (1-2 operators)	Moderate manpower
Feedstock	Rubber powder (pre-crushed)	Whole tyres accepted

Choose continuous for high-volume, round-the-clock output and lower labour; choose batch for lower upfront investment and whole-tyre feeding.

Plan a continuous waste tyre pyrolysis line

A continuous tyre pyrolysis plant combines tyre preparation, sealed feeding, thermal conversion, oil condensation, gas handling and solid discharge. Plant design should be confirmed against tyre composition, particle size, throughput, output use and local environmental requirements.
