30 TPD Continuous Pyrolysis Plant for Large-Scale Waste Recycling

A 30 TPD continuous pyrolysis plant is suitable for recycling companies that already have stable daily waste tire, plastic or rubber supply and want to move from batch processing to continuous waste-to-oil production. It is engineered for 24-hour stable operation with continuous feeding and discharging, enabling industrial operators to convert waste streams into fuel oil, carbon black, and combustible gas with predictable output performance..

How Does the Continuous Pyrolysis Process Work?

Process of continuous pyrolysis machine

A 30 TPD continuous pyrolysis plant requires uniform feedstock. Operators usually process tires into chips below 30 mm and sort plastics into small flakes or granules. Stones, metals, PVC and other unsuitable materials should be removed. Oil sludge may also require dewatering to reduce fuel use and improve thermal efficiency.

A sealed screw feeder transfers prepared material into the reactor at a controlled rate. Operators can adjust the feeding speed according to temperature, material density and gas generation.
Consistent feeding supports:
· Stable reactor loading
· Predictable oil-gas production
· Better temperature control
· Fewer feeding interruptions

Inside the rotating reactor, feedstock moves forward under oxygen-limited conditions. Organic components break down into oil vapor, carbon residue and combustible gas.
Coordinated feeding, heating and discharge reduce repeated shutdowns and improve equipment utilization. This operating model suits recycling projects with stable daily feedstock.

Oil vapor enters the separation and condensation system, where condensers convert suitable fractions into liquid pyrolysis oil.
Plastic feedstock may generate wax during cooling. Anti-blocking pipelines or a dewaxing system can reduce buildup and maintain stable oil collection.

The discharge system transfers hot carbon residue into a cooling section before collection.
Enclosed conveying reduces dust, limits contact with hot material and creates a cleaner working environment.

After purification, the system can return part of the non-condensable gas to the burner as auxiliary fuel.
Water seals and flame arresters protect the gas route, while the remaining exhaust enters the tail-gas treatment system. Actual fuel savings depend on feedstock type, moisture and gas yield.

How Are Pyrolysis Products Used in Downstream Markets?

Recovered pyrolysis oil application

Recovered pyrolysis oil application

Pyrolysis oil recovered from tires, rubber and suitable plastics can be used as industrial fuel for boilers, cement plants, brick factories, lime kilns and other heating applications. In some projects, it can also be further refined into diesel fuel for generators, heavy machinery or industrial burners. Buyers should confirm local fuel standards, storage rules and downstream users before deciding the final oil handling route.

Recovered carbon black application

Recovered carbon black application

  • Recovered carbon black from tire pyrolysis can be sold as a low-cost carbon material, processed into briquettes, or used in rubber, construction and fuel-related applications according to quality.
  • Steel wire from waste tires can enter scrap metal recycling channels. These by-products help improve the overall project income and reduce the amount of final waste that needs disposal.

What Are the Advantages of a 30 TPD Continuous Pyrolysis Plant?

A 30 TPD continuous pyrolysis plant helps you build a steadier production rhythm when your project already has stable tire chips, prepared plastic particles or dewatered oil sludge. After the reactor reaches the required operating temperature, your team can feed materials continuously, recover pyrolysis oil continuously and discharge carbon black continuously. This operating mode helps you reduce waiting time between production cycles and makes daily processing capacity easier to plan.

With PLC automatic control, you can manage feeding, reactor rotation, heating, oil gas recovery, cooling discharge and safety protection through a more systematic control process. For long-hour operation, this helps your operators monitor key running conditions more clearly and respond to abnormal situations more quickly. If your project wants to reduce manual dependence and improve operating consistency, automatic control becomes a practical advantage.

A continuous rotary reactor helps materials move forward under a controlled thermal environment. When your feedstock size, moisture and composition remain stable, the system can maintain more consistent pyrolysis conditions. This supports steadier oil gas generation, smoother condensation and more predictable carbon black discharge. For your business, stable output means easier oil storage planning, carbon black collection and downstream sales arrangement.

For waste tire and rubber pyrolysis projects, carbon black handling directly affects site cleanliness, labor workload and packing efficiency. A continuous discharge and cooling system allows high-temperature carbon residue to cool step by step before collection. This helps your team handle carbon black more safely and prepare it for bagging, storage or further processing. Cleaner discharge also supports a more organized production site.

Which Capacity Should Buyers Choose: 10, 15, 30 or 50 TPD?

Yushunxin continuous pyrolysis equipment is available in 10 TPD, 15 TPD, 30 TPD and 50 TPD configurations. For early industrial projects, YSX-C10 or YSX-C15 can reduce the investment pressure while keeping continuous operation logic. For mature recycling plants with stable tire chip supply, YSX-C30 is a practical choice for large-scale waste-to-oil production. For industrial parks, regional recycling centers or high-volume tire processing projects, YSX-C50 can support a higher daily disposal target with a more complete production arrangement.
