The tire pyrolysis plant is a specialized system designed to thermally decompose waste tires in an oxygen-free environment. It efficiently converts scrap tires into high-value resources such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas. This plant provides an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution for managing the growing problem of used tire disposal.
Widely applied in the recycling, energy, and environmental industries, tire pyrolysis systems help reduce landfill pressure, minimize pollution risks, and promote resource reuse. With advanced automation, emission control systems, and energy-saving technologies, the tire pyrolysis plant is a reliable choice for both environmental protection and commercial investment.
Every year, more than 1 billion scrap tires are produced worldwide. More than 60% of scrap tires are landfilled or piled up, which not only wastes precious resources but also puts great pressure on the environment. Waste tires are not only difficult to degrade and occupy land, but also easily cause fires, release toxic fumes, and seriously endanger the ecology and human health.
Traditional treatment methods, such as landfill and incineration, are not only inefficient, pollute the environment, but also waste precious reusable resources. Tire pyrolysis technology provides an environmentally friendly, efficient and profitable solution. Through high-temperature oxygen-free pyrolysis, we can convert waste tires into useful fuel oil, carbon black, steel wire and other products while reducing environmental pollution.
More importantly, this tire pyrolysis has no open flames, does not produce wastewater, and after efficient dust removal treatment, almost no pollutants are emitted. Not only does it make waste tires a resource, but it also provides investors with long-term and stable returns.
| Pyrolysis Product | Proportion | Application |
|---|---|---|
 Pyrolysis Oil | 40-45% | Industrial fuel for boilers, burners, and generators Refined into naphtha for petrochemicals Heavy oil can be used for electricity generation |
 Carbon Black | 30-35% | Made into construction carbon bricks Further processed into N220, N330 for rubber, plastics, ink, etc. |
 Steel Wire | 15-20% | Sold to steel mills or recyclers Reused in tire production or melted into other metal products |
| Combustible Gas | 5-7% | Used as fuel for the pyrolysis reactor itself |
We provide three pyrolysis solutions according to different production capacities and investment requirements:
| Type | Batch Pyrolysis Plant | Semi-continuous Pyrolysis Plant | Continuous Pyrolysis Plant |
| Model |  |  |  |
| Workflow | Hydraulic automatic feeding → Heating → Stop for cooling reactor → Discharge | Automatic feeding by sealing → Heating → Stop for cooling reactor → Discharge | Continuous feeding → Pyrolysis → Continuous discharging |
| Raw Material Pretreatment | No need | Crushing required | Crushing required |
| Feeding Size | ≤1600mm | ≤100mm | ≤80mm |
| Unit Capacity | 5-20 TPD | 15-25 TPD | 20-70 TPD |
| Labor Quality | 3-6 person/shift | 1-4 person/shift | 1-4 person/shift |
| De-dusting System | Basic | Enhanced | EU-standard |
| Investment | Low | Moderate | Higher |
| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Batch | 1. No need for pretreatment of raw materials 2. Low price, suitable for small and medium-sized investments 3. Simple structure, easy to maintain | Unable to achieve continuous production, low unit production capacity |
| Semi-continuous | 1. More stable heating performance, more efficient 2. Higher degree of automation than batch type, saving labor | Raw materials need to be pre-processed and cannot be operated 24 hours a day |
| Continuous | 1. 24-hour uninterrupted operation, large output 2. Automatic feeding and discharging, saving manpower 3. EU standard dedusting system, the most eco-friendly | The equipment cost is higher and the raw material particle size requirements are higher |
1. Pretreatment
If equipped with a tire shredder, whole tires are broken down into smaller pieces to meet feeding specifications.
2. Feeding
Qualified tires are fed into the pyrolysis reactor via belt conveyors or hydraulic feeders.
3. Pyrolysis
Heat the pyrolysis reactor. Once it reaches 180°C, oil gas begins forming. Gases flow into the condensation system, while oils are reprocessed in the pyrolysis reactor.
4. Condensation
Most of the oil gas condenses into liquid fuel oil, which is stored in tanks. Non-condensable gas is recycled as heating fuel.
5. Dedusting and Purification
After cooling, hot exhaust gases are purified via multiple dust removal stages, including water scrubbing, spraying, ceramic ring adsorption, and activated carbon filtration.
6. Product Collection and Slag Discharge
Solid residues like carbon black are automatically discharged via a screw conveyor with an integrated water-cooling system for temperature control.
Eco-Friendly
Equipped with multi-stage dust removal, desulfurization, and condensation purification systems to ensure stable and compliant emissions, supporting green and sustainable operations.
