A plastic pyrolysis plant heats waste plastic to 300-600°C in an oxygen-free environment, converting it into pyrolysis oil, syngas, and solid residue. Instead of going to landfill or ending up in the ocean, plastic waste becomes fuel and chemical feedstock, helping businesses turn a disposal cost into a revenue stream while reducing plastic pollution.

In common plastic pyrolysis, certain feedstock compositions or improper reaction conditions produce paraffin wax. It is a high-viscosity solid at room temperature. The wax easily sticks to equipment’s inner surfaces, causing blockages and operational issues.
This patent utilizes catalytic tower design and special catalysts to decompose wax oils produced during plastic pyrolysis. Beston Group offers 2 configuration solutions: single or dual-catalyst tower design. Contact us to inquire plastic to oil machine!
Waste plastics are loaded into the reactor manually, via an screw feeder, or through a feeder, followed by airtight sealing.
The reactor is heated using natural gas, oil, biomass, or LPG. As internal temperatures reach 280°C to 450°C, thermal breakdown occurs, rapidly decomposing long-chain polymers into a continuous stream of oil-gas vapor.
The oil-gas passes through a multi-stage tubular condensing system:
Non-condensable gas is purified through a water seal and redirected back to the furnace as free auxiliary fuel, dramatically cutting heating costs.
After cooling, the auto-discharging system extracts solid carbon black residue in a fully enclosed environment to prevent dust pollution.
Combustion exhaust gas undergoes multi-stage scrubbing, desulfurization, and dedusting before being safely emitted in compliance with strict EU standards.
Not all plastics are suitable for pyrolysis. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) convert well into pyrolysis oil, while PET and PVC should be kept out of the feedstock because they cut oil yield and cause equipment and emission problems. Use the table below to check your waste plastic.
| Resin code | Plastic | Suitability | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PET | Not suitable | Contains oxygen, so oil yield is low; can form deposits that block pipes |
| 2 | HDPE | Suitable | High oil yield |
| 3 | PVC | Not suitable | Releases hydrogen chloride (HCl), which corrodes the reactor and contaminates the oil |
| 4 | LDPE | Suitable | High oil yield |
| 5 | PP | Suitable | High oil yield |
| 6 | PS | Suitable | Yields oil rich in aromatics |
| 7 | Other | Case by case | Composition varies; send a sample for testing |
Properties: Lighter color and lower viscosity than non-standard diesel.
Typical uses:
Properties: Medium viscosity and relatively high calorific value.
Typical uses:
Properties: High aromatic and olefin content and a high octane value.
Typical uses:
Oil yield depends mainly on the type and cleanliness of the plastic. In our tests, clean, single-type PE gives 85–95% oil, and PP and PS give 80–90%. Mixed or contaminated waste gives less, so we recommend sorting it first.
| Feedstock | Oil yield | Basis |

“When our Finnish client first came to us, the real issue wasn’t equipment — it was that their existing oil couldn’t meet Europe’s high-end market standards. Through custom catalytic optimization, we helped them cut wax content, lower the pour point, and lift product quality to ISCC+ certified, Shell-recognized grade. The real value of pyrolysis isn’t simply turning waste plastic into oil — it’s helping customers produce a green product the market trusts, and one that creates greater commercial value.”

Precise temperature control and self-cleaning systems avoid condenser clogging. Mechanical chain friction and hot air heating technology minimize furnace coking. Thus, Blackgold P30 enables 720h continuous operation.
The oil-gas spray system directly achieves fraction cutting between light and heavy components, saving on distillation equipment investment while reducing energy consumption.
Blackgold P30 features automatic reactor temperature control (±10°C precision), automated weighing and feeding, and automatic fractional condensation. Together, these boost efficiency by 60% and minimize manual intervention.
Self-adjusting mechanical design + nitrogen sealing technology ensure safe, stable equipment operation, with a dynamic seal rated for 3 kPa.
Fractional distillation technology allows simultaneous separation and collection of light oil (＜ 200℃) and non-standard diesel (＞200℃).
The large-capacity plastic pyrolysis reactor (ø2800*10000) can process 12–13 tons of plastic waste per day. For your pyrolysis projects, this means:
Thermal dynamic sealing & flexible high-temperature insulation technology greatly enhances machine and worker safety, delivering:
Plastic to fuel machine has multiple designs to ensure safety, such as temperature gauges, pressure indicators, explosion-proof valves, and the sealed feed system.
The waste emissions from this equipment meet the standards. Treated by environmental protection facilities, the combustion exhaust gas meets the emission standards. After treatment of a water cooling system, carbon black can be discharged. This can reduce dust pollution.
Our products are built with top-grade materials, crafted using expert welding techniques, and undergo rigorous quality inspections throughout production. This ensures a product lifespan of 5-8 years and offers excellent value for money.
Customized equipment sizing and process design engineered around your specific plastic feedstock, operational goals, and local emissions laws.
Fabricated with durable, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term stability and high processing efficiency under heavy continuous workloads.
Complete technical guidance for assembly, pipe connection, and system debugging to guarantee a fast, hassle-free startup.
Hands-on operator training, preventative maintenance guidance, and reliable lifetime spare parts supply for uninterrupted profitability.
Over 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year, with one-third used only once before being discarded. Pyrolysis effectively breaks down this waste plastic into oil, gas, and carbon black — diverting it from landfills and incinerators.
Supports UN SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
For businesses looking to upcycle discarded plastic, a pyrolysis plant offers a practical path forward. It transforms waste plastic into valuable pyrolysis oil, syngas, and carbon black — resources with real applications across industrial fuel, petrochemical, and materials sectors.
Supports UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure)
The plastic pyrolysis plant accepts a wide range of waste plastics, including PE, PP, PS, and ABS, as well as mixed plastic waste. PVC and PET are refused for pyrolysis.
Batch Pyrolysis Plants: Typically use manual or hydraulic feeding systems, which can accept whole or unshredded plastics directly.
Fully Continuous Pyrolysis Plants: Utilize continuous screw feeders, requiring plastic granules size ≤15mm.
Consumption varies by equipment model.
Oil yield depends on feedstock type and purity, typically ranging from 60% to 90%. Cleaner, drier plastic waste generally produces higher oil output.
Yes. The system operates in an oxygen-free, sealed reactor and is equipped with dedusting, desulfurization, and condensation units to control emissions in line with EU standard.
We provide installation guidance, operator training, spare parts supply, and ongoing technical support to ensure long-term, stable operation.
