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 to oil.

Benefits of Tyre Pyrolysis
Avoid Negative Environmental Impacts
- Fire Risk: Scrap tyres are flammable hazardous waste. When burned, tyre release toxic dioxins, benzopyrene, and other harmful substances. Pyrolysis treatment decomposes waste tyres in an Non-flammable environment. Also, pyrolysis products are properly stored.
- Water Pollution: Waste tires piled up near water sources will produce harmful leachate. These harmful substances seep into groundwater or rivers, polluting water sources. In particular, tyre pyrolysis process can effectively avoid these pollution from tyre accumulation
Optimize Waste Management System
- Waste Reduction: Tire pyrolysis plant can reduce the volume of tyres by 70%. As a result, this alleviates the management burden caused by tyre land occupation and stacking. This not only reduces the recycling pressure but also reduces transportation and storage costs.
- Waste Resource Utilization: Tyre pyrolysis products can be directly supplied to upstream & downstream industries. They can be applied directly or processed into more valuable products. This resource recycling method promotes the circular economy.
Enriching Traditional Energy Structure
- Alternative Fuel: Tyre pyrolysis oil is an alternative fuel with high energy density. In addition, after converting to non-standard diesel by distillation, it has widely use in heavy machinery, transportation, etc. Thus, tyre pyrolysis plant promotes fuel diversity.
- Energy Transformation: Traditional fossil fuels, such as coal/natural gas/oil, are non-renewable. Pyrolysis oil production can reduce dependence on them. Meanwhile, it also reduces carbon emissions from resource mining, promoting energy transformation.
Create New Revenue Model
- Pyrolysis Product Sales: Tyre pyrolysis products are widely used in various fields and have high trading value. In particular, in recent years, the market demand for tire pyrolysis carbon black, as a raw material for the production of rCB (recovered Carbon Black), has continued to grow.
- Waste Treatment Income: Through large-scale production, investors can establish tyre pyrolysis recycling centers locally. As a result, investors can charge processing fees to tyre manufacturers, waste recycling centers, and municipal waste management to obtain income.
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 pyrolysis 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).
