Tyre to oil plant brings innovative tyre recycling solutions with advanced pyrolysis technology. This equipment can process a large number of waste tyres while maximizing the value of tyre resources. Through pyrolysis process, waste tyres are converted into usable resources such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black and steel wire. Compared with landfill and incineration, this plant not only provides a sustainable way to deal with waste tyres, but also create considerable economic value.
Tyre to Oil Process: From a Molecular Perspective
To get fuel oil from tyre, the focus is on the pyrolysis reaction. This is a high temperature, micro-oxygen reaction that occurs when the tire goes to tyre to oil plant. It usually involves the thermal decomposition of the rubber components of the tyre.
Reaction Components of Tyre Pyrolysis
Natural Rubber:
- Main Component: Polyisoprene.
- Structure: (−CH2−C(CH3)=CH−CH2−)n
Synthetic Rubber:
- Main Component: Styrene-Butadiene copolymer.
- Structure: [−CH2−CH(C6H5)−]m−[−CH2−CH=CH−CH2−]n
Reaction Stage in Tyre Pyrolysis
Polymer Chain Cleavage:
Long-chain polymer molecules of tyre break at high temperatures to produce free radicals. Free radicals further induce chain cleavage to generate small molecule olefins, such as C5 (isoprene), C4 (butene), C6 (hexene), etc. This process also forms light hydrocarbons like methane and ethylene.
Cracking & Recombination:
Small molecule olefins will continue to crack or recombine to form C5-C10 hydrocarbon molecules. The aromatic ring part of styrene in synthetic rubber may produce aromatic compounds such as benzene and toluene at high temperatures. Small molecular hydrocarbons formed by tyre pyrolysis plant form pyrolysis oil from the condensable part.
Applications of Tire to Oil Recycling Products
Tire to oil recycling is a process that involves converting waste tires into useful products like pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas. The products derived from the tire to oil machine have various applications:
Tyre Pyrolysis Oil
It can be directly burned as an industrial fuel and is generally sold to glass factories, steel factories, ceramic factories, cement factories, etc.;
After distillation, non-standard diesel is obtained and sold to refineries for further processing to produce commercial diesel;
After distillation, non-standard diesel components can be used in heavy oil generator sets to generate electricity.
Carbon Black/Steel Wire/Combustible Gas
| End-products | Usages |
|---|---|
| Carbon black | 1. Direct sales. |
| 2. Used in the rubber and plastic industries to manufacture reinforcements, fillers, and colorants. | |
| 3. Used for deep processing to obtain higher-quality carbon black. | |
| Steel wires | 1. Direct sales. |
| 2. Used in steel mills to produce steel products. | |
| Combustible gas | Reused in the process of pyrolysis. |

Oil Rate Report of Beston Tyre Oil Plant
As an important performance indicator of a tire oil plant, the oil rate determines the cost-effectiveness of the investment. A machine with an excellent oil rate will produce more tire pyrolysis oil. Thereby creating more economic value. Beston Group has been committed to developing equipment with higher production efficiency. Therefore, we do experiments based on different types of tire raw materials. Below is the experimental data from Beston’s technical team for your reference.
| Raw material | Details | Oil rate | Steel wire | Carbon black | Gas/water |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waste tire | Truck tires | 45%-50% | 15%-20% | 30% | 5%-10% |
| Car tires | 40%-45% | 10%-15% | 40% | 5%-10% | |
| Bicycle/motorcycle tires | 30%-35% | 5%-10% | 10% | 5%-10% |
Tyre to Oil Recycling Process
If you want to understand the tyre to oil recycling process, it is more intuitive to start with the system structure of the equipment. Below is the workflow of the entire tire to oil production line. If you want to learn more about tire recycling advice, you can visit our YouTube.
01Raw Material Feeding
You can choose to feed manually or use a screw feeder/hydraulic feeder. After sending the raw materials into the furnace, close and lock the furnace door. It is worth mentioning that the feed to the continuous tyre pyrolysis plant is completely uninterrupted.
02Pyrolysis System
The burner and the combustible gas generated after the reaction provide the heat source for the main furnace. The reactor maintains normal pressure/slightly positive pressure, and the reaction temperature is between 280°C and 300°C. In a closed oxygen-free state, the pyrolysis reaction begins. This process produces fuel oil, combustible gas, and solid residue products.
03Condensation System
The oil channel condenser cools and liquefies the high-temperature pyrolysis oil gas to obtain pyrolysis oil. Subsequently, it is in the storage tank. The manifold purifies and stabilizes the non-condensable gas. After the reaction is stable, the gas heats the main furnace.
04Flue Gas Treatment System
The high-temperature flue gas in the main furnace first enters the induced draft fan. Then, it introduces the flue gas into the flue gas cooler to cool down. Finally, the flue gas enters the spray tower for treatment. In this way, the flue gas can meet emission standards.
05Water-Cooled Slag Discharging System
The solid slag in the furnace enters the water-cooled spiral slag tapper through the inner copy plate of the main furnace. After it cools down, the machine transports the carbon black out of the main furnace. Coupled with multiple water-cooled spiral slag discharges, the entire production can achieve high-temperature slag discharge and high-temperature feeding.
