Picture

GENERAL
  • In the past year, use of recycled rubber is increased for both cost reduction and need of sustainability. 
  • performance strongly depends on raw material: best is use of truck/OTR treads which contains great part of Natural Rubber.

RECLAIMING
  • process is generally based on use of heat and mechanical strain
  • traditional processes implies use of autoclaves (steam/reclaiming agents) and long refining process. Very labour intensive and abandoned in Western Countries, leading country is India.
  • modern reclaiming process uses extruders instead, it can be fully automated 
  • chemical devulcanization is performed using crumb rubber + chemical agents 

SUMO
  • very good performance
  • easy and sustainable process
  • mixed car and truck tires crumb might be used
  • less scorcher than chemical devulcanization product
