Understanding the Tire Recycling Business
In the world today, tire recycling is a hot topic. There are two main ways to recycle tires: tire pyrolysis and tire crushing. Both methods can make a lot of money for investors, with a quick return on investment usually within six months.
Deciding Between Tire Pyrolysis and Tire Crumb Recycling
When it comes to choosing between a tire pyrolysis plant and a tire crumb plant, it can be a tough decision. To start a successful business, you need to know who will buy the products you make from recycled tires.
Benefits of Tire Pyrolysis
Tire pyrolysis oil can be used as fuel for burners, furnaces, or boilers. It is commonly used in cement factories, asphalt mixing plants, and other industries that need liquid fuel. The oil can also be used as fuel for ships, agricultural machinery, and heavy machinery. With a distillation system, you can even produce high-quality diesel for vehicles.
Uses of Rubber Crumbs and Powder
Rubber crumbs are often used to make rubber tiles or mats for flooring. They can also be used with a paver machine to pave roads and sidewalks. Rubber powder is used in rubberized asphalt and to make other rubber products like seals, speed humps, and insulation materials.
Choosing the Right Direction
In general, tire pyrolysis equipment costs less than a tire shredding line and can bring in more profit. The pyrolysis oil has a higher value, and you can also sell the carbon black to other industries. However, it’s important to consider your local market needs when deciding which direction to go in. Once you find buyers for your products, both methods can lead to a successful business.
