Our rubber powder is still vulcanized, but it is so fine that it can be added to virgin rubber in very large amounts.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do I have to pay if I turn in EOL rubber products such as tracks?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
The prices per ton are market prices and they can vary. Currently (2021) between \u20ac140 and \u20ac180 per ton plus transport costs.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why do you choose mechanical recycling and not chemical recycling?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Chemical recycling, including pyrolysis, requires more energy. Mechanical recycling is less energy intensive and the recycled powder can be added to virgin rubber while maintaining quality. As a result, the carbon footprint is much smaller.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When water jetting, isn’t there a lot of use of water, and isn’t that polluting?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]With a rotating brush separator (RBS), we collect all the water, remove the solid particles and recycle the water through ultra filtration (UF). Over 90% of the water is reused.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What chemicals do you use for the process?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Only water is used in the overall process, no chemicals. The water is recycled as much as possible.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the particle sizes of your powder?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Depending on what the customer ultimately needs, we can separate the powder into separate sizes. The smallest we can currently offer separately as a sample is powder smaller than 180 microns.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the difference in product between shredding and water jetting?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Shredding produces square cubes with smooth walls (granules). Water jetting creates exploded snowflakes with a very large surface area per volume. When mixed with virgin rubber, the contact area is much larger and the adhesion is ultimately much stronger.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why are you guys starting with tracks and not doing car tires yet?” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Most car tires are shredded. Tracks (and other technical rubber products) cannot be shredded due to their shape and composition (blocks of steel). For this reason, they are burned, used for landfill and\/or transported outside of Europe. Project Active Rubber can solve this problem.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can your technique also be used for other rubber waste?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes, the same principle can be used for all rubber waste, especially products that inherently have a large mass. Not only tracks, but also solid tires, rubber dredging lines, oil pipelines, conveyor belts, etc. The basic technique of water jetting remains the same, as well as drying and separating by grain size.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens to rubber waste now?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]In the case of tracks; landfill (landfill) or incineration and usually transport outside Europe. Since there is no accepted way of processing\/recycling, the bulk of these tracks end up just being dumped, either in the Netherlands or somewhere abroad.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can you recycle everything from the track?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes, a track consists of about 60% steel and this comes out clean through our process and can be reused. Over 35% consists mainly of rubber powder which can be blended into new products while maintaining quality and properties. The remaining part (max 5%) is coarse material that cannot be admixed, but is suitable for pyrolysis or otherwise.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” height=”80px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Sectie Handige Links” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0C6027″ background_enable_image=”off” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”90%” max_width=”1600px” module_alignment=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tekst Handige links” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”48px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” header_2_font_size_tablet=”38px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
