Tire waste poses a significant environmental challenge. Every year, millions of tires are discarded, creating mountains of waste that take hundreds of years to decompose and easily to create fire. These tires can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water, posing a threat to ecosystems and human health. By recycling tires, we can reduce landfill waste, decrease pollution, conserve natural resources, and realize the recycling of resources.
Innovation is key to minimizing tire waste. One promising method is the use of advanced recycling technologies that break down tires into reusable materials. For instance, with Vary Tech's tire crushing and sorting systems, including wire drawing machines, ring cutting machines, twin-shaft shredders, wire separators, disc screen, magnetic separator, etc., it is possible to accurately separate rubber blocks (granules), thick steel wires, and fine steel wires from waste tires. Among them, the mesh size of rubber particles can be selected according by using different crushing machines to achieve the refinement of products. The rubber granules can be physically recycled or sent to Vary Tech's oxygen-free pyrolysis equipment to get pyrolytic tar, carbon, and steel wire. These innovative approaches not only reduce waste but also create valuable by-products that can be used in various industries. Pyrolysis is the final treatment method of waste tires. The maximum production capacity of a single set continuous pyrolysis equipment can reach 150 tons/day for tire blocks, and 200 tons/day for rubber powder.
In addition to being sold directly, the waste tire wire extracted by crushing and sorting can also be remelted for steel making or reprocessed into steel wire shot for grinding and dust removing in shipyard, the profit of which is double than selling as wire directly.
The pyrolyzed tire oil has various usage and can be used as industrial fuel oil in steel plants, boiler heating, heavy oil generators, cement plants, etc.; it can also be refined into diesel oil and used in trucks, diesel generators, marine turbines, heavy machinery, etc. The fuel oil may become feed oil for refineries.
The carbon black generated after pyrolysis can used for enhancement for strength, durability and coloring properties of rubber products. It can be used as a reinforcing agent and filler for manufacturing of tires, cables, rubber rollers, conveyor belts and other rubber and plastic products, such as breathable plastic tracks. etc. It can also be made into spherical carbon black or carbon black briquettes for heating and burning, and its calorific value is equivalent to that of coal. It can also be deeply processed into powder or color master batch and sold to the plastic industry for coloring. In addition, carbon black is also valuable for many uses, such as paving roads.
Reducing carbon footprints is a priority for many businesses today. Tire recycling offers a practical solution for companies looking to lower their environmental impact. By adopting advanced recycling technologies like those offered by Vary Tech, businesses can transform waste tires into reusable materials, reducing their reliance on virgin resources. Additionally, recycling reduces the need for incineration, which is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. The sustainability report released by India's Birlacarbon shows that every ton enhanced recovered carbon black (rCB) from the pyrolysis recovery of used tires can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3.1 tons compared to traditional carbon black manufacturing processes. By incorporating tire recycling into their sustainability initiatives, businesses can significantly lower their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.
Several real-life application cases of Vary Tech demonstrate the effectiveness of tire waste management. In Hubei Province, China, a large-scale continuous pyrolysis line recycles 30,000 tons of waste tire rubber powder annually. Similarly, a project in Jiangxi Province uses multiple pyrolysis lines and carbon black processing equipment to handle 30,000 tons of waste tires per year. These projects highlight the potential of advanced recycling technologies to manage tire waste efficiently. Companies like Vary Tech are at the forefront of this revolution, providing innovative solutions that turn waste into wealth.
Efficient tire waste recycling is not just a necessity, it's an opportunity to create a more sustainable world. By adopting innovative recycling methods, leveraging the power of pyrolysis machines, and integrating tire recycling into their sustainability initiatives, businesses can significantly reduce their environmental impact. The benefits are clear—reduced landfill waste, lower pollution levels, and valuable by-products that can be reused in various industries. We encourage you to learn more about these technologies and consider how tire recycling can contribute to your sustainability goals. Together, we can create a greener future, one recycled tire at a time.
