Renowned Danish manufacturer of tire recycling equipment, ELDAN Recycling A/S, has developed a new sensor-based system to detect foreign objects in tire shreds and reduce the risk of breakdowns and yearly down time of its tire shredders. The ELDAN Foreign Object Detection (FOD) system consists of a sensor system monitoring the vibrating discharge conveyor following the ELDAN Super Chopper. Changes in acceleration from dense objects hitting the surface are picked up by the FOD system, which will stop the material flow of the plant and give off a warning signal. It is then easy for the operator to search through the material on the vibrating discharge conveyor, find and remove the foreign object, and continue production without further problems.

Are you an investor seeking for interesting investment opportunities with reliable technology and ROI rates higher than the market average? We at Weibold can help you find lucrative investment opportunities in the pyrolysis industry. Weibold is a consulting company focused exclusively at pyrolysis and tire recycling. We work hand in hand with numerous product suppliers, pyrolysis equipment manufacturers and many other stakeholders in the industry.

Big multinationals like BASF, Continental, Michelin, Bridgestone and others see huge potential in the pyrolysis industry.

Versalis, a chemical company owned by Eni, and one of the world’s leaders in the production and marketing of elastomers has signed an agreement with AGR, a company that owns technology for the devulcanization of post-consumer elastomers. Together, Versalis and AGR are going to develop technological innovations and new products and applications from recycled end-of-life tire rubber. Devulcanization is process of selectively breaking chemical bonds that transforms objects in solid rubber, usually granulated, into a workable and moldable form, ready to be reused in the production of new products, such as tires or gaskets.

KURZ Karkassenhandel GmbH – a tire recycling company from Germany – has been committed to environmentally friendly and responsible waste tire disposal for years. Till this November, the tire recycler had been accepting only large quantities of end-of-life tires. With its new online inquiry tool, one can now ask KURZ to pick up scrap tires at individual demand. The service not only allows emptying the garage space, but also implies environment-friendly and clean recycling of waste tires. Around 65 million end-of-life tires are generated in Germany every year. This can be imagined as an indeed huge pile, but the tires can be 100% recycled. End-of-life tires contain valuable raw materials such as rubber, steel and even synthetic textiles. A certified scrap tire disposal company like KURZ Karkassenhandel GmbH ensures that these raw materials remain in the loop and thus the environment protected.

AZuR – Germany’s innovation forum for tire recycling – reports that with three workshops on the topics "tire recycling", "retreading" and "pyrolysis" the AZuR network has successfully started its active work. The project, which is financed by the funding guideline "Innovationsforum Mittelstand" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, was very well received by the economy, science and also politics. "We had three very exciting and above all productive meetings in which the discussions were very open and differentiated", says network coordinator Christina Guth.

Are you thinking about starting a tire recycling or pyrolysis business and don’t know where to start? Do you need help in carrying out a pre-feasibility study to see if your ideas prove commercially successful? Below we describe how Weibold’s Pre-Feasibility Study helps novices in the domain of tire recycling and pyrolysis to build a commercially successful business. To build a successful tire recycling or pyrolysis business, first of all one must identify markets and products and design sales channels, which will serve as a foundation to count profitability. This is a rather difficult task, as it is composed of many peculiar and field-specific details, whose research requires a big amount of time.

Tyre Stewardship Australia reports that it partners with RMIT University on a ground-breaking research project evaluating the performance of crumb rubber in asphalt made from end-of-life car tyres. The project, co-funded by TSA, RMIT University and the Victorian Department of Transport (DoT, Australia), will evaluate to what extent and in what proportion – when mixed with truck tyres, for instance – passenger car tyres can be recycled in road asphalt pavements.

ECO Green Equipment – one of the world’s leaders in end-of-life tire shredding equipment helps Missouri-based trucking company convert old truck tires into rubber mulch. ECO Green’s recent press release reports that Prime Inc., a Missouri-based trucking company, had been devoted to retreading their used tires. The company discovered that 20% of end-of-life tires couldn’t be retreaded, and those tires — all 100,000 per year — were ending its lifecycle at landfills. With the help of ECO Green Equipment, they’re improving the environment by creating environment-friendly valued-added products and making money while doing it.

Despite hard efforts of the tire recycling and pyrolysis industry to develop new markets and increase recycling rates, recycled rubber based product markets demonstrate only moderate growth. To tackle the problem and allow thousands of tons of precious materials go back to consumer goods, numerous end-of-life tire management organizations, companies and research labs do their best to find new markets and develop innovative products out of scrap tire rubber.
