Tyre Pyrolysis Plant
Sustainable waste management solution turning waste tyres into valuable resources
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, Kmarin Green Technologies looks forward to working with you to give a new life to end-of-life tyres.
Types of End-of-life Tyre
Kmarin Green Technologies'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 used on standard passenger vehicles.
OTR (Off-the-Road) Tyre
OTR tyres are used for construction and mining vehicles.
Commercial Tyres
Commercial tyres are used on trucks, buses, and vans. They are typically designed for commercial applications such as long-distance transportation, trucking, etc.
Tyre Manufacturing Waste
Tyre manufacturing waste includes defective tyres and scrap from the production process.
100% Recycling Solution: Tyre Pyrolysis Plant
Tyre 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
35-45% of total output
- 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.
Carbon Black
30-35% of total output
- 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.
Steel Wires
8-15% of total output
- 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
Syngas
8-15% of total output
- It can be recycled to provide heat source for tyre pyrolysis after purification
- Collect separately for other uses
Frequently Asked Questions
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 releases toxic dioxins, benzo(a)pyrene, and other harmful substances.
- Water Pollutant Waste: Tyres 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: The pyrolysis plant can reduce the volume of tyres by 70%.
- Waste Resource Utilization: Tyre pyrolysis products can be directly supplied or processed into valuable products, promoting the circular economy.
Enriching Traditional Energy Structure
- Alternative Fuel Use: Tyre pyrolysis oil is an alternative fuel with high energy density.
- Energy Transformation: Pyrolysis oil can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and carbon emissions.
Create New Revenue Model
- Pyrolysis Product Sales: Tyre pyrolysis products are widely used.
- Waste Treatment Income: Large-scale production allows investors to profit through recycling centers and municipal waste systems.
What is Tyre Pyrolysis Process?
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.
