Sustainable resources of the future

In the unique, patented Thermolysis process at Pyrum Innovations AG, several high-​quality secondary raw materials are obtained in an environmentally friendly way.

First of all, the components of used car and truck tyres are separated mechanically. With the help of efficient metal separators, the sorted Steel wire goes to steelworks, Textile fibres become insulating material. The Rubberi The used tyres are shredded into granulate in twin-​shaft shredders and mills. The Rubber granules can be used with variable grain sizes for the manufacture of a wide range of sustainable, durable products or recycled into other secondary raw materials. 

In Pyrum thermolysis plants, the rubber granulate is broken down into other valuable secondary raw materials in the absence of oxygen: Coke or TTB^® (ThermoTireBlack) for the rubber and plastics industry, Crude oil for the chemical industry and gas. In the tyre thermolysis plant of Pyrum Innovations AG, the gas obtained is converted into electricity in a CHP unit. This makes the entire recycling plant energy self-​sufficient.
