In response to the waste management crisis confronting the tyre recycling industry, recyclers are choosing tyre pyrolysis plant as a solution. This machine disrupts conventional recycling philosophy with pyrolysis technology, transforming tyres into pyrolysis oil. In addition, with pyrolysis solution, tyre recycling industry can achieve a sustainable closed loop. As a leading enabler of sustainable waste management, Beston Group looks forward to working with you to give a new life to end-of-life tyres.
Types of End-of-life Tyre
Beston Group’s tyre recycling solutions are suitable for all kinds of tyres. In fact, tyres are a composite material resource. It is composed of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, steel, additives and other materials. Here are some common types of end-of-life tyres：
Passenger Tyre
Passenger tyres are the most common tire type. It is used for motorcycles, small and medium-sized family cars and other passenger vehicles. They are usually disposed of by tyre recycling centres.
OTR(Off-the-Road) Tyre
OTR tyres are specially designed for heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders. They are used in construction sites, mining industry, exploration, agriculture, and other heavy industries.
Commercial Tyres
Commercial tyres are used on commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and vans. They are typically designed for commercial applications such as long-distance transportation, trucking, etc.
Tyre Manufacturing Waste
These wastes mainly include scraps generated during tyre manufacturing. Additionally, some expired tyres are included. Usually, they come from the tyre manufacturers.
100% Recycling Solution: Tyre Pyrolysis Plant
Tire pyrolysis plant changes the form of waste through thermochemical reactions. After the pyrolysis process, tyre is completely decomposed into tyre pyrolysis oil (liquid), carbon black/steel wire (solid), and syngas (gas). This method greatly improves the reduction efficiency of waste resources. At the same time, these pyrolysis products are used as renewable resources in industries such as energy substitution and manufacturing. This maximizes the value of waste resources. From waste treatment to product application, tyre pyrolysis achieves true 100% recycling.
Applications Of Tyre Pyrolysis Products
Pyrolysis oil
Pyrolysis oil is burned directly as fuel to provide energy in cement plants, boiler plants, power plants, etc.;
Non-standard diesel obtained after distillation can be used to generate electricity;
Steel wires
Reused in tyre production as eco-friendly material; Reprocessed into other metal products for sale.
The recycled iron wire can be used in construction and infrastructure projects, such as manufacturing rebars.
Carbon black
Reused in tyre production as eco-friendly material; Further processing into N330 carbon black; Used as an additive in asphalt mixtures, printing ink, black dye, paint, etc.
Syngas
It can be recycled to provide heat source for tyre pyrolysis after purification.
Collect separately for other uses.
Pyrolysis Vs. Other Tyre Recycling Methods
Existing tyre recycling methods mainly include rubber powder production, TDF(tyre-derived fuel) production, and use as construction fill material. These methods break down tyres into smaller-sized rubber products. However, waste tyres are not decomposed from the physical composition. Below is a comparison of these recycling methods with tyre pyrolysis.

Benefits of Tyre Pyrolysis
Eco-friendly Working Principle
The pyrolysis plant prioritizes environmental responsibility. Waste such as particles and emissson gases are meticulously treated by dedusting system, like water washing, water spray, ceramic ring adsorption, and activated carbon adsorption, etc. This ensures compliance with EU emission standards and significantly reduces pollution.
High-volume Waste Tyre Reduction
The pyrolysis process involves the thermal desorption of tyres under microaerobic conditions. This is a method that changes the physical and chemical properties of tyres. It enables large-volume tyre recycling. Additionally, this minimizes the environmental impact associated with large tyre backlogs.
Efficient Resource Utilization
Through the tyre pyrolysis process, various components (rubber, steel and synthetic materials) are converted into useful products (pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire and syngas). They have a wide range of uses. Therefore, pyrolysis technology truly explores the utilization potential of waste resources.
Additional Economic Value
End products all create additional revenue streams. Firstly, syngas as heating fuel can save your investment costs. Secondly, selling end products generates economic value. Moreover, they also contribute to driving the economic development of related industry chains and going on a beneficial regenerative economy.
What is Tyre Pyrolysis Process?
01Tyre Feeding
Pre-treated tyres are conveyed into the furnace through a feeding system. We provide manual, large platform, hydraulic and screw-feeding solutions for customers to choose from.
02Tyre Pyrolysis – Oil Formation
Oil gas: The main furnace is preheated, and the temperature inside continues to rise. When the temperature reaches 180 degrees Celsius, oil gas begins to generate. A significant amount of oil gas is produced when the temperature reaches 280-350 degrees Celsius.
Pyrolysis oil: The oil gas produced by pyrolysis first pass through the manifold. The manifold separates oil gas and heavy oil with a lower freezing point. Heavy oil enters the sludge oil tank. The oil gas enters the oil condenser and is liquefied into tyre pyrolysis oil. Pyrolysis oil falls into oil storage tank.
03Combustible Gas Recovery
Under the pressure generated by the reactor, the combustible gas that cannot be cooled enters the water seal. The water seal plays a role in purifying combustible gases. Clean combustible gas continues to provide heat for the main furnace.
04Carbon Black Collection
The carbon black formed during tyre pyrolysis is processed through a discharging system. Especially, we provide a three-stage water-cooled slag screw extractor. This can make the carbon black discharging temperature reach 50-80 degrees.
05Exhaust Gas Treatment
The high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the flue condenser and spray tower. This achieves the effect of cooling and dust removal. Finally, the exhaust gases are discharged from the chimney. If your area has higher exhaust emission standards, we provide high-end exhaust treatment systems. Final emissions can meet EU standards (SO2: 50mg/m3; NOx: 200mg/m3; dust particles: 10mg/m3).
