During the last six months of 2021, the pilot plant of Active Rubber managed to successfully process 50 tonnes of rubber tracks into various qualities of rubber powder.<\/p>\n
The aim was to test the efficiency of the process for high-pressure water jetting<\/a>, drying and sorting powder based on particle size. Work was also carried out on the energy-efficiency of the processing itself, so that the maximum amount of powder can be produced using the lowest possible energy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/active-rubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rubberpoeder.jpeg” title_text=”Rubberpoeder” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#263977″ header_3_text_color=”#263977″ header_4_text_color=”#263977″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A discovery was made that the water jetting process could help to realize a considerable reduction in CO2 compared to existing methods such as incineration and dumping.<\/p>\n Results from the pilot plant will be used to construct a commercial demo plant, for which preparations are already in full swing.\u00a0<\/p>\n In order to finance the commercial demo plant, discussions are taking place with financial institutions and venture capital companies, while a subsidy application has also been submitted under a scheme for innovative sustainable projects. The demo plant is expected to require a total investment of around 5 million euros.<\/p>\n The demo plant should be operational by mid-2022 and will be able to process over 6000 tonnes of rubber waste each year. To realize this, EOL rubber will be collected from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n The logistical process for supplying rubber and selling powder will be ready in Q2 2022.<\/p>\n If you have questions or want to request samples<\/a>, please contact us via the website.
