A tyre pyrolysis plant heats scrap tires in an oxygen-free reactor to break down rubber polymers into valuable reusable resources. It converts waste tires into roughly 40% pyrolysis oil, 30% recovered carbon black, 20% steel wire, and 10% combustible syngas. It provides an eco-friendly circular economy solution for tire recycling.

“Having overseen 40+ installations globally, I recommend the BLJ-16 as the essential entry-level solution for those prioritizing lower initial risk. In contrast, the Blackgold P30 represents the inevitable industry trend for large-scale industrial expansion, offering the high-efficiency, continuous operation required to dominate the market in 2026.”

How Tyre Pyrolysis Process Works: Step-by-Step Breakdown
Step 1: Feedstock Pre-treatment
Tires are either loaded whole (for batch systems) or shredded into small chips (20–50 mm) and cleared of heavy steel wires (for continuous systems).
Step 2: Sealed Feeding
Whole tires or pre-shredded tire chips are loaded into the reactor through a sealed feeding system, preventing air from entering and ensuring a fully oxygen-free environment. The reactor is then gradually preheated to prepare for the pyrolysis reaction.
Step 3: Thermal Decomposition
Under heating conditions (180℃–450℃) and micro-negative pressure (＜20kPa), rubber polymers crack into oil gas. Lighter oil gases ascend to condensers, while heavy oil is re-fed by the screw into the reactor for re-pyrolysis.
Step 4: Oil Gas Condensation
- Oil condensation: Hot oil vapors pass through cooling pipes and condensers, turning into liquid pyrolysis oil, which is collected in storage tanks.
- Syngas recycling: Uncondensable gases are cleaned and often recycled back to fuel the reactor’s burners.
Step 5: Solid Residue Recovery
After pyrolysis completes, carbon black is safely discharged via a water-cooled screw conveyor at stable, low t
