Should we pull out the steel wire first in the waste tyre pyrolysis process?

Whether we should pull out the steel wire firstly in waste tyre pyrolysis process will mainly depend on whether the waste tyre pyrolysis plant is batch type or continuous one, because the feeding requirement is different for different types of waste pyrolysis plant.

Two types waste tyres/plastics pyrolysis plant

For batch pyrolysis plant, it is not necessary to pull out the steel wire when you feed waste tyre into a common batch type waste tyre pyrolysis plant since usually the feeding door size is big enough for feeding the whole tyre.

But for a semi-continuous or continuous waste tyre pyrolysis plant, waste tyre should be pre-treated into metal free rubber granules, so what you need to do is not only pull out steel wire but also shred tyre into granules to meet the feeding condition required by continuous or semi-continuous waste tyre pyrolysis process.

The process of continuous waste tyre pyrolysis plant

However, whether we should pull out the steel wire first is also influenced by other factors, such as the feeding door size and the willingness of the machine user.

For a small scale batch type waste pyrolysis plant like 500kg or 1ton, the feeding door diameter is around 1m, which is too small for the feeding of big truck tyre because the size of truck tyre is usually above 1.1m. Under such a situation, you will need to pull out the steel wire in the tyre ring part and cut off the remaining part in order to feed it into the prolysis reactor. The other situation is that some customers wanna feed more waste tyre during each operation to achieve better economic performance. Then the best way is to dismantle waste tyre by pulling out steel wire and simple cutting.

All in all, we can see whether or not to pull out the steel wire firstly in waste tyre pyrolysis process will be influenced by many factors such as the type of pyrolysis plant, the feeding door size and the willingness of the machine user, etc. If you have a similar enquiry about waste tyre pyrolysis plant, please do not feel hesitant to contact us, and our sales manager will customize you the best solutions.
