Devulcanization is an essential step in tire manufacturing. During the process, rubber is mixed with curing agents and heated to form a strong, durable material used in tires.
However, once rubber has been vulcanized, it is difficult to reuse because it cannot easily be reprocessed or remixed. This is where Tyromer’s Devulcanization Technology comes into play.
Tyromer’s patented devulcanization process is remarkably simple: rubber crumb is fed into an extruder and transformed into devulcanized rubber—without the addition of any chemicals or additives.
Using a supercritical CO₂-assisted thermo-mechanical extrusion process, we continuously and rapidly transform end-of-life tire rubber into a new, high-quality rubber material known as Tire-Derived Polymer (TDP).
Because TDP preserves the molecular structure of the original rubber, it can be used for its original applications, including new tire manufacturing, as well as for a wide range of higher-value rubber products.
* For a detailed technical explanation, please refer to the article on devulcanization written by the inventor, Professor Costas Tzoganakis, and published in Rubber World Magazine.
Rubber crumb is pneumatically conveyed to the feed hopper, where approximately 20-mesh rubber crumb is metered into the extruder at a controlled rate.
Rubber crumb is continuously devulcanized and transformed into our devulcanized rubber, Tire-Derived Polymer (TDP).
The TDP passes through a cooling tank to reduce its temperature.
After cooling, the TDP passes through a screening system to remove any remaining impurities, then is cut and compressed into sheets.
After cooling, the TDP enters a drying drum to remove any remaining moisture.
TDP is automatically weighed and cut to size, metal-detected, and packaged according to customer requirements.
Tyromer’s chemical-free devulcanization technology has received numerous prestigious global awards and industry honors, earning widespread international recognition for its breakthrough contribution to end-of-life tire recycling and sustainable development.
