Tyre Pyrolysis Plant for Waste Tire Recycling (1–30 TPD)

Batch and continuous tyre pyrolysis systems designed for stable oil yield, safe operation, and environmental compliance.

What Is the Purpose of a Tire Pyrolysis Plant?

A tire pyrolysis plant is a professional environmental protection and resource recycling equipment that converts waste tires into high-value renewable resources through oxygen-limited high-temperature pyrolysis. Its core purposes are to solve the global “black pollution” problem of waste tires and realize the high-value utilization of resources, which is in line with the circular economy development trend of countries around the world. For investors, its core value lies in creating stable profits through resource recycling. Specifically, it has three core purposes:

Waste Tire Disposal & Environmental Protection: Waste tires are non-degradable and occupy a large amount of land. Traditional disposal methods (landfilling, incineration) pollute the environment. Our tire pyrolysis plant can completely decompose waste tires without secondary pollution, helping governments and enterprises solve waste tire disposal problems and comply with environmental regulations.
Resource Recycling & High-Value Utilization: Convert low-value waste tires into three high-value products: pyrolysis oil (alternative fuel), carbon black (industrial raw material), and steel wire (recycled metal). These products have broad market demand, enabling investors to achieve “waste-to-wealth” and obtain considerable economic benefits.
Energy Substitution & Carbon Emission Reduction: The pyrolysis oil produced can replace fossil fuels (diesel, heavy oil) for industrial boilers, generators, and other equipment, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. At the same time, the entire pyrolysis process adopts waste heat recycling technology, which reduces carbon emissions by 30-40% compared with traditional energy utilization methods, in line with global carbon neutrality goals.

Our tire pyrolysis plants are designed to balance environmental protection and profitability, with customized solutions for different scales of waste tire disposal needs, from small-scale regional disposal to large-scale industrial recycling.For non-tire rubber, see Rubber Pyrolysis Plant

Which Types of Tires Can Be Pyrolyzed?

Most waste tires can be processed by pyrolysis technology, but the adaptability of equipment directly affects the efficiency of pyrolysis and product quality. Our tire pyrolysis plants are optimized through independent R&D, with strong raw material adaptability, and can stably process the following types of tires. At the same time, we provide professional raw material pretreatment guidance to avoid operational risks:

Passenger Car Tires: Including tires of cars, sedans, and SUVs. They have a high rubber content (about 60-65%) and low steel wire content, with excellent pyrolysis performance. The oil yield can reach 45-50%, which is the most ideal raw material. Our equipment can process whole passenger car tires without crushing, reducing pretreatment costs.
Truck/Bus Tires: Large-sized tires such as heavy trucks, buses, and engineering vehicles. They have a high rubber content (55-60%) and high steel wire content (about 15-20%). Our equipment is equipped with a customized feeding system and steel wire separation device, which can efficiently process crushed truck tire pieces (particle size 5-10cm) and realize automatic separation of steel wire.
Industrial & Special Tires: Including forklift tires, tractor tires, and small engineering machinery tires. These tires have stable components and can be processed by our equipment after simple pretreatment. We will customize pyrolysis parameters according to the specific composition of the tires to ensure product quality.
Not Recommended for Pyrolysis: Tires containing special harmful additives (such as lead-containing tires for special industries) or tires severely contaminated by chemicals (such as tires soaked in industrial waste liquid). These tires will produce toxic gases during pyrolysis, damaging equipment and violating environmental regulations. Our technical team provides free raw material testing services to help you screen qualified raw materials.

Tire Pyrolysis Process Flow

Our tire pyrolysis process adopts a scientific staged design, which is safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly. The whole process is controlled by an intelligent PLC system, which reduces human error and ensures stable product quality. The detailed process flow is as follows:

Detailed Process Steps
Raw Material Pretreatment: Waste tires are first sorted to remove impurities (soil, stones, non-tire metals). Then, they are crushed into 5-10cm pieces by a crusher (truck tires) or directly used (passenger car tires). Finally, they are dried in a dryer to reduce moisture content to ≤10% (moisture will affect pyrolysis efficiency and oil yield).
Sealed Feeding: The pretreated tires are fed into the sealed pyrolysis reactor through an air-lock feeding system. The system prevents external air from entering the reactor, ensuring the oxygen content in the reactor is below 5% and avoiding combustion accidents.
Staged Pyrolysis (400-450℃): The reactor is heated by an external heating system (fuel: pyrolysis oil, natural gas, or syngas). The temperature is precisely controlled in stages: ① Preheating (100-200℃): Evaporate residual moisture; ② Low-temperature pyrolysis (200-350℃): Decompose rubber into oil-gas mixture; ③ High-temperature pyrolysis (350-450℃): Fully crack the oil-gas mixture to improve oil yield. Our patented temperature control technology ensures uniform pyrolysis of tires.
Oil-Gas Separation & Condensation: The oil-gas mixture generated by pyrolysis enters the oil-gas separation system to remove impurities (carbon particles). Then, it is cooled into liquid pyrolysis oil through a multi-stage condenser. The uncondensed syngas (mainly methane, ethane) is recycled to the heating system as fuel, reducing energy costs.
Solid Product Collection: After pyrolysis, the solid residues in the reactor (carbon black and steel wire) are discharged into the sealed cooling system and cooled to below 50℃ to avoid oxidation. Then, the steel wire is separated from the carbon black by a magnetic separator. The steel wire is sold as recycled metal, and the carbon black is processed (crushed, sieved) into finished products.
Flue Gas Purification & Emission: The flue gas generated during heating is purified by a multi-stage flue gas treatment system (dry dust removal → wet scrubbing → activated carbon adsorption) to meet global environmental standards before being discharged.

1^st Tire Cutting Machine

Waste tires have a large overall volume and a complex structure, making them difficult to process directly. The tire cutting machine can precisely cut tires into small pieces or layers, significantly reducing their volume, facilitating transportation and subsequent processing, and greatly improving overall processing efficiency. PyrolysisUnit's tire cutting machine can handle small steel-belted tires under 900mm with a processing capacity of 1-2 tons per hour, or large tires between 900-1500mm, also with a processing capacity of 1-2 tons per hour.

2^nd Tire Bead Extractor

The tire layering machine can neatly stack the tread layers of small steel-belted tires that have been processed by the cutting machine, ensuring the integrity of the steel belt structure, preventing material scattering and waste, and improving the quality of recycled materials. The automated layering process replaces labor-intensive manual work, significantly reducing processing time, with a capacity of 1-2 tons per hour, helping enterprises achieve efficient and stable production rhythms.

3^rd Pyrolysis Machine

Pyrolysis machines play a crucial role in the recycling of waste tires by thermally decomposing tires in an oxygen-free environment. This process converts tires into valuable by-products such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas, enabling effective resource recovery and reducing environmental pollution.
PyrolysisUnit’s pyrolysis machines can process 1 to 30 tons of tires per day, providing scalable solutions for small to large-scale tire recycling operations.

Tire Pyrolysis Guide: Compliance, Safety, Profit & Global Solutions

As a professional manufacturer specializing in tire pyrolysis technology with over a decade of R&D and project experience, we understand that global investors and entrepreneurs focus on compliance, safety, profitability, and reliable after-sales support when entering the tire pyrolysis industry. This guide is tailored for you—covering core concerns from environmental compliance to project implementation, and highlighting how our factory-direct tire pyrolysis solutions and full-cycle technical services can help you achieve stable, profitable, and compliant operations worldwide.

Part 1: Environmental Compliance & Exhaust Emission Control

With increasingly stringent environmental regulations globally, compliance is the prerequisite for the long-term sustainability of tire pyrolysis projects. Our tire pyrolysis equipment is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with international environmental standards (EU ETS, US EPA, CE, ISO 14001, GB 18484-2020) and is equipped with a full-set of high-efficiency emission control systems to ensure your project meets local environmental requirements. We also provide one-stop compliance consulting services to help you eliminate regulatory risks.

1.1 Core Exhaust Emission Control System

Tire pyrolysis exhaust mainly contains particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Our four-stage purification system achieves ultra-low emissions:

First Stage: Dry Dust Removal: High-temperature cyclone dust collector efficiently removes large-particle dust (removal rate ≥98%), avoiding clogging of subsequent equipment. The collected dust can be recycled as a raw material for building materials.
Second Stage: Wet Scrubbing: The multi-layer packed tower sprays alkaline solution to neutralize and remove SO₂, NOₓ, and small-particle dust. The spray system adopts a circulating design to save water resources, and the treated wastewater enters the closed-loop treatment system.
Third Stage: Activated Carbon Adsorption: Specialized high-specific-surface-area activated carbon adsorbs VOCs, PAHs, and other harmful organic substances (adsorption rate ≥99%). The activated carbon replacement cycle is extended by 30% due to our pre-purification technology, reducing operating costs.
Fourth Stage: Catalytic Combustion (Optional): For regions with higher environmental requirements (e.g., EU, North America), we offer an optional catalytic combustion module. It oxidizes residual harmful gases into CO₂ and H₂O at 250-350℃, ensuring exhaust emissions are far below local standards.

Emission Index Guarantee: Particulate matter ≤10 mg/m³, SO₂ ≤50 mg/m³, NOₓ ≤100 mg/m³, VOCs ≤20 mg/m³—fully compliant with global mainstream environmental standards.

1.2 Comprehensive Environmental Protection Supporting Measures

Wastewater Zero Discharge: The small amount of wastewater generated during the process (mainly from wet scrubbing) is treated by coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration, then reused for cooling and spraying, realizing closed-loop circulation and zero discharge.
Odor Control: The entire production line adopts a fully sealed design (from tire feeding to product discharging). An activated carbon deodorization device is installed at key nodes (feeding port, discharging port) to eliminate odor pollution.
Solid Waste Treatment: By-products such as waste activated carbon and dust are collected uniformly and entrusted to qualified third-party institutions for disposal, or recycled in accordance with local regulations—ensuring full-process environmental compliance.

1.3 Global Compliance Consulting Services

We have a professional environmental compliance team familiar with the environmental regulations of over 50 countries and regions. We provide customized services including: local environmental policy interpretation, application guidance for environmental permits, environmental impact assessment (EIA) report support, and on-site inspection guidance. All our equipment is accompanied by official environmental test reports to help you pass regulatory inspections smoothly.

Part 2: Safety Design & Operation Guide (Upgraded Version)

Tire pyrolysis involves high temperature, high pressure, and flammable and explosive gases. Safety is the top priority of our equipment design. We integrate multiple intelligent safety protection systems and formulate detailed operation guidelines to minimize operational risks. Our upgraded safety solutions cover the entire production cycle—from equipment startup to emergency shutdown.

2.1 Core Safety Protection Systems

Dual Over-Temperature Alarm & Protection: The pyrolysis chamber is equipped with two sets of independent temperature sensors (PT100 and thermocouple) for real-time monitoring. When the temperature exceeds the safe threshold (480℃), the system automatically triggers an audible and visual alarm, and cuts off the heating source simultaneously. Manual reset is required after troubleshooting to avoid misoperation.
Intelligent Over-Pressure Protection: Equipped with a pressure transmitter, safety valve, and rupture disk (double protection). When the pressure in the pyrolysis chamber exceeds 0.3MPa, the safety valve automatically opens to release pressure; if the pressure continues to rise, the rupture disk bursts to relieve pressure quickly. The system also supports remote pressure monitoring, allowing managers to grasp pressure data in real time.
Alarm Muting & Fault Recording System: The control panel is equipped with an alarm muting button (muting time adjustable: 1-10 minutes) to avoid noise interference in the workshop. All alarm information (time, type, parameter value) is automatically recorded and can be exported for troubleshooting and safety analysis. The system also sends fault reminders to the designated mobile phone via SMS/APP.
Automatic Pressure Relief Valve with Pressure Stabilization Function: The upgraded automatic pressure relief valve not only relieves overpressure but also maintains stable pressure in the pyrolysis chamber (0.1-0.2MPa) during normal operation—improving pyrolysis efficiency while ensuring safety. The valve is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant alloy materials, with a service life increased by 50% compared to ordinary valves.
Sealed Fire-Proof & Explosion-Proof Design: The entire pyrolysis system adopts a fully sealed structure to prevent leakage of flammable gases (syngas, pyrolysis oil vapor). Explosion-proof electrical components (motors, sensors, control panels) are used in all key areas, and fire extinguishing devices (CO₂ fire extinguishers, foam fire extinguishers) are installed at fixed positions. The equipment shell is made of thickened carbon steel with fire insulation coating.
One-Key Emergency Shutdown System: Emergency shutdown buttons are installed at the control panel and key positions around the equipment. Pressing the button can quickly cut off the heating source, stop the feeding and discharging systems, and isolate the pyrolysis chamber—maximizing the safety of personnel and equipment in case of emergencies.

2.2 Detailed Operation Guide

2.2.1 Pre-Startup Inspection

Verify that the safety protection systems (temperature sensor, pressure transmitter, safety valve) are working normally.
Check the oil level of the lubrication system and the water level of the cooling system.
Ensure the raw materials (waste tires, crushed into 5-10cm particles, moisture content ≤10%) meet the requirements.

2.2.2 Normal Operation Norms

Strictly follow the temperature and pressure curves set by the technical team (heating rate: 5-8℃/min, pyrolysis temperature: 400-450℃).
Regularly check the operation status of the exhaust purification system and ensure the activated carbon is replaced in a timely manner.
Record operational data (temperature, pressure, feeding amount, product output) every hour.

2.2.3 Emergency Handling Procedures

Over-Temperature/Over-Pressure Alarm: Press the emergency shutdown button immediately, check the heating system and pressure relief device, and restart the equipment only after troubleshooting.
Gas Leakage: Evacuate personnel from the workshop, cut off the power supply, open the ventilation system, and use a gas detector to locate the leakage point. Repair after the gas is completely discharged.

Is tyre pyrolysis environmentally friendly?

Yes—tyre pyrolysis is environmentally friendly when implemented with advanced emission control technology, strict compliance, and professional engineering support. As a core solution for waste tire recycling, it addresses the global challenge of tire waste pollution (each discarded tire can take 50–80 years to decompose in landfills) while converting waste into renewable resources (pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire). Below is a detailed breakdown of its environmental benefits, paired with how our 10+ years of engineering expertise and global support ensure your project meets the highest environmental standards worldwide.

1. Why Tyre Pyrolysis Is an Eco-Friendly Solution

Tyre pyrolysis transforms a persistent environmental hazard into valuable, reusable products—offering dual environmental and economic benefits:

Eliminates Tire Waste Pollution: Avoids landfills (where tires leach toxic chemicals into soil/water) and illegal dumping (a major source of plastic pollution and wildfire risks).
Reduces Fossil Fuel Dependence: Pyrolysis oil replaces diesel/heavy oil in industrial boilers and generators, cutting reliance on non-renewable energy.
Resource Circularity: 100% of waste tires are recycled into usable products (no waste left behind):
- Pyrolysis oil: A clean-burning fuel alternative.
- Carbon black: Reused in rubber production, inks, or soil remediation (reducing the need for virgin carbon black, which requires fossil fuel extraction).
- Steel wire: Fully recycled for steelmaking, saving iron ore resources.
- Syngas: Recycled as fuel for the pyrolysis plant, reducing external energy consumption by 25–35%.

The key to environmental friendliness lies in advanced pollution control technology and strict operational compliance—areas where our decades of engineering experience and global support network excel.

2. How Our Engineering Expertise Ensures Environmental Compliance

Environmental friendliness in tyre pyrolysis is not just about the technology—it’s about customized, region-specific implementation. Our professional engineering team (with qualifications in chemical, mechanical, and environmental engineering) designs solutions that align with local environmental regulations and geological/climatic conditions, ensuring your project is both eco-friendly and compliant:

Tailored Emission Control Systems: We customize pollution control modules (from 3-stage purification to catalytic combustion) based on your region’s standards (e.g., EU EPA, US EPA, CE, ISO 14001). For example:
- For Europe/North America: Equip catalytic combustion to reduce VOCs/PAHs to ≤20 mg/m³.
- For Southeast Asia/Africa: Optimize water-saving scrubbers and activated carbon adsorption to meet local air/water quality norms.
Zero-Discharge Design: Our engineers integrate closed-loop wastewater systems (no effluent released) and sealed solid waste collection, ensuring full-process environmental safety.
Energy-Efficient Layout: Site-specific pipeline and heating system design minimizes heat loss, reducing the plant’s carbon footprint by 15–20% compared to generic systems.

3. Global Support to Maintain Long-Term Environmental Performance

Is pyrolysis just burning?

No, tire pyrolysis is fundamentally different from burning—it is a controlled, oxygen-limited thermal decomposition process that converts waste tires into valuable resources (pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, syngas), while burning is an uncontrolled, oxygen-rich combustion that produces harmful emissions and ash.

Core Differences Between Pyrolysis and Burning

Aspect	Tire Pyrolysis	Burning (Combustion)
Oxygen Level	Strictly limited (oxygen content <5%) in a sealed reactor—prevents complete combustion.	Requires abundant oxygen for full ignition of tire components.
Reaction Purpose	Decompose tire polymers (rubber, plastic) into usable products via thermal cracking.	Convert tires into heat, ash, and flue gas (no valuable by-products).
Emission Profile	Emissions are minimal and fully treatable with purification systems (e.g., cyclone dust removal, activated carbon adsorption, catalytic combustion).	Releases high levels of toxic pollutants (dioxins, sulfur dioxide, heavy metals) and greenhouse gases (CO₂, black carbon).
Resource Recovery	100% of waste tires are recycled into marketable products: pyrolysis oil (45–50%), carbon black (30–35%), steel wire (10–15%), and syngas (reused as fuel).	Only generates low-value heat; leftover ash requires hazardous waste disposal.
Control & Regulation	Fully automated with precise temperature (400–450℃) and pressure control; compliant with global environmental standards (EU EPA, US EPA, CE, ISO 14001).	Uncontrolled reaction with variable temperatures; often fails to meet emission regulations.
