On the "Technology" we are placing almost ready knowledge-intensive projects, creating a bridge between the technology developers and consumers. The authors of projects receive almost free advertising. Investors see proposals from which they hard to refuse. The winners, in theory, should be all . Let's see how it really is.

The technical and economic proposal

Advanced technology and plant for recycling wastes of tires production and worn tires

Experts of Scientific-Engineering Center (Ma’alot, Israel) and RRR-company (Moscow, Russia) have developed technology, plant and series special machines for recycling waste tire of vehicles, wastes of tires production and other rubber waste products. The technology and technological scheme of manufacture are protected by patents of the Israel, Lithuanian Republic and USA.

Recycling of worn tires, wastes of tires production and other of rubber products manufacture can be done: using of the ozone-containing gas (ozone technology), with the use of cryogenic technology (cryogenic technology) and combined method (processing gas containing ozone - the first process step and cryogenic treatment - the second process step).

Ozone-containing gas falling onto the surface of the waste (lump) or rubber tires into rubber reacts with an oxidation reaction that leads to destruction of the hydrocarbon bonds. Ozone acts as a knife which cuts the wrapper or the tire pieces to chips of waste and crumb.

In cryogenic processing the rubber is frozen, for example, of liquid nitrogen to a temperature embrittlement rubber. Frozen lumpy waste rubber or chopped pieces of comminuted tires in a known manner, for example, in a roller crusher.

The combined method is most appropriate to use in the processing of waste tires. In the first step the shell tires partially destroy of ozone and then the remains of the rubber on the tire frozen to a temperature embrittlement. Separation of the frozen rubber from the cord is carried out in a special machine equipped with a camera freezing.

Reprocessing the wastes of tires production or other rubber products production expedient and economically it is profitable using the ozone technology. For restoration the properties of rubber the rubber crumb of expose are de-vulcanization to updating. After de-vulcanization, the rubber crumb can be used for manufacture of general mechanical rubber goods, rubber products for various purposes, for example, the goods of household use, the building industry.

Economically feasible plant productivity (plant, factory) is 300 kg/h to 800 kg/h.

1. The basic distinctive features of the advanced technology and the plant

1.1. Recycling waste tires:

1.1.1 The tire intact is compressed or is stretched by a mechanical pressure and then a rubber covering tire partially is destructed by means of ozone-containing gas (combined method);

1.1.2 Destruction of a tire rubber covering is made at an ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure;

1.1.3 In lunging after the destruction of the ozone shell rubber tires are the remains of which are frozen to temperature embrittlement in the chamber intensive cooling;

1.1.4 Separation of rubber cord is carried out at the temperature of minus 75 - 85°C and atmospheric pressure;

1.1.5 The intact tire is compressed or stretched by mechanical stress and completely destroy the rubber covering tire ozone-containing gas. The resulting rubber crumb and chips are separated from the cord (ozone technology);

1.2. Recycling the wastes of tire production and other rubber waste products:
1.2.1. Lump waste product placed into the machine, where the mechanical method on the material being processed, wherein the material having mechanical stress and by destruction with ozone-containing gas and the rubber pieces are disrupted produce rubber crumb and chips;

1.2.2. The destruction of lumpy waste is performed at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure;

1.2.3. Destruction of lumpy waste produced in the apparatus batch-type or continuously;

1.3. Ozone technology and install environmentally friendly and safe. The exhaust ozone is removed in the destructor ozone, where he was again converted into oxygen;

1.4. De-vulcanization of crumb rubber and chips (pieces of tire tread portion) produce thermo-mechanical without additional grinding.

2. The basic advantages of technology and plant:

2.1. The main advantages of advanced technologies and equipment are specialized machines and equipment, as well as the flow charts of specific industries and plants for the processing of waste tires and other rubber waste;

2.2. Special machines and apparatuses of advantages technologies:

- The apparatus for destruction of a tire rubber cover contained by means of the ozone gas and the separation system of a rubber crumb and chips;

- The plant for de-vulcanization of a rubber crumb and chips;

2.3. Apparatus for the continuous recycling of tire production and other waste rubber products;

2.4. According to the known data in the advanced technology of electric energy consumption per ton of recycled tires (waste) is 220 - 250 kWh (maximum) with the de-vulcanization process resulting crumb rubber and chips.

For comparison, for example, cryogenic processing flow of electricity is 560 - 680 kWh (minimum). In mechanical tire recycling energy consumption is more than 940 -1100 kWh per ton of processed tires;

2.5. The process de-vulcanization of a rubber crumb and chips generates a rubber composition which completely corresponds to initial structure of a tire before processing;

2.6. The technology and plant generate a clean rubber crumb without synthetic fibers and steel wires;

2.7. The number of technological operations processing less than with other species, thus reducing the production area and the number of attendants in 1.5 - 2.0 times;
