Incineration Plants

Transforming Old Tires into Sustainable Resources

Michaelis specializes in building tire pyrolysis plants. Our innovative solutions obtain sustainable raw materials and energy from old tires and waste, leveraging our patented Paddle Technology. This technology allows for the production of high-quality raw materials such as Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), recovered Carbon Black (rCB), and steel, which can be reintroduced into the recycling cycle.

Advanced Pyrolysis Technology

Our standardized Tire Pyrolysis Plant is designed to process 10,000 tonnes of used tires annually and can be expanded modularly to meet increasing demands. Each plant is supplied as a complete system, inclusive of energy recovery and clean air technology, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly operations.

Overview: Michaelis Tire Pyrolysis Plant (1 line)

Continuous Tire Pyrolysis Plant commissioned in 2010

Technical Data

  • Standardized Concept: Designed for 10,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of tires per line.
  • Long-life Quality: Made in Germany with an expected lifetime of over 20 years. Main components are constructed from stainless steel.
  • Variety of Pyrolysis Reactors: Available in both continuous and batch types.
  • Patented Technology: Features the Michaelis Paddle Reactor and blockage-free condensation.
  • Safety Standards: Comprehensive risk assessment, HAZOP studies, and ATEX compliance.
  • Cost Efficiency: Low capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX).
  • Modular Design: Compact, modular structure with a low footprint.

Michaelis rCB Refining Plant

Michaelis also builds rCB Refining Plants, offering a complete solution for the finishing of recovered Carbon Black (rCB). Coarse rCB, obtained through pyrolysis, undergoes further processing to yield high-quality rCB. This refined rCB is highly sought after in the tire industry for manufacturing sustainable new tires, significantly reducing the carbon footprint by 80%. Numerous major tire manufacturers are incorporating substantially more rCB into their production processes.
