How can you reduce energy consumption when using tire to oil recycling line?
Industry News / Date:April 23, 2025
Waste tire to oil pyrolysis technology is an important way to solve black pollution and realize resource recycling. Its energy consumption level directly affects the operating costs and environmental benefits of enterprises. As a pyrolysis technology leader with 15 years of experience, we will analyze the energy consumption structure and energy-saving solutions for you to help you achieve efficient pyrolysis of waste tires to oil.
Waste tire to oil recycling line energy consumption
Energy consumption composition of tire to oil recycling line and energy-saving design of DOING tire oil pyrolysis production line:
(I) Energy Consumption of Heating System
In the pyrolysis process of turning waste tire to fuel oil, the heating system is the main source of energy consumption. The pyrolysis reaction requires the waste tires to be heated to a specific temperature (usually between 250℃ and 400℃) to promote the decomposition of high molecular polymers in the tire. Whether it is the traditional heating method of wood, fuel oil or gas heating, a large amount of energy is required to maintain the temperature required for the reaction. Moreover, during the heating process, the poor insulation performance of the equipment will also cause heat loss, further increasing energy consumption.
Efficient temperature control systems can help in reducing the energy required for heating processes. Use insulation where appropriate and consider waste heat recovery systems.
The external insulation system design of DOING tire pyrolysis reactor furnace uses a full-cover external insulation shell with a multi-composite design inside, which has a good insulation effect. After the tire pyrolysis reaction starts, the exhaust gas generated by pyrolysis can be directly used as fuel, which greatly improves the resource utilization efficiency, saves fuel consumption and reduces fuel costs.

(II) Energy Consumption of Drive System
In order to make the waste tires evenly heated in the pyrolysis reactor and its internal spiral reasonably maintains the speed, the equipment is usually equipped with a drive system. This requires a motor to provide power. In addition, if the mechanical parts of the drive system are worn or poorly lubricated, energy consumption will also increase.
Therefore, to reduce energy consumption, it is best to reasonably optimize the detailed parameters of the pyrolysis process in combination with the characteristics of tire raw materials, and regularly perform equipment maintenance inspections to prevent problems such as wall sticking, equipment wear, and pipeline blockage in the tire to oil recycling lines. If necessary, advanced automation and monitoring systems can be implemented to continuously track energy usage.
For different raw material to fuel oil recycling pyrolysis processes, DOING's engineering team will give equipment drive speed recommendations. At the same time, to ensure that all machines of tire to fuel oil recycling line are well maintained and maintain optimal efficiency, it is recommended that your workers perform regular maintenance and inspections on the equipment. We also have PLC systems to help the tire oil pyrolysis line achieve efficient operation.

(III) Energy Consumption of the Cooling System
The oil gas produced by the pyrolysis reaction needs to be cooled through the condensation system to convert it into liquid fuel. If the condensation efficiency is not high, the oil gas cannot be condensed in time, which will also cause the pressure in the reactor to increase, affecting the normal progress of the pyrolysis reaction and indirectly increasing energy consumption. In addition, if you use batch tire to oil recycling line, after each batch of pyrolysis process is completed, an air cooling system is required to reduce the reactor temperature to below 50°.

Adopting or updating energy-efficient equipment components, simplifying operations, and reducing downtime can significantly save energy. Even semi-continuous and fully continuous tire recycling equipment with high automation and intelligence can be used, there is no need to stop for cooling.The DOING pyrolysis oil condensation system relies on circulating cooling water to achieve cooling, saving water and energy. For reactor cooling, DOING batch tire oil pyrolysis line adopts the new design fast cooling system, which can improve the cooling efficiency by about 30%, greatly saving the energy consumption. We also offer mature semi-continuous and fully continuous tire to oil recycling lines for customers to choose from.
