Systems and methods for processing pyrolyzable materials in order to recover one or more usable end products are provided. Pyrolysis methods and systems according to various aspects of the present invention are able to thermally decompose carbon-containing materials, including, for example, tires and other rubber-containing materials, in order recover hydrocarbon-containing products including synthesis gas, pyrolysis oil, and carbon black. Systems and methods according to aspects of the present invention may be successful on a commercial scale, and may be suitable for processing a variety of feedstocks, including, but not limited to, used tires and other types of industrial, agricultural, and consumer waste materials.

A bag target and a method of manufacturing the bag target configured to substantively decrease in size for storage, shipment and/or display. The bag target is further configured to absorb and dissipate essentially all of the kinetic energy of a high energy projectile such as an arrow or a crossbow bolt.

The method of filling a weighing container (10) for plastics granulate (12), wherein the granulate is dropped from a supply tube (26) into the weighing container (10) via a shutter (22), wherein the weighing container (10) is closed-off on the top side by a wall having a conical part (16) that reaches directly up the shutter (22), and in that the weighing container is filled with granulate up to the level of the shutter (22).

The invention relates to an apparatus for filling a container with bulk material, having a storage container for the bulk material with a closable lid and an outlet, a metering device arranged below the storage container, a pneumatic conveying device for conveying the bulk material with the aid of compressed air into the container to be filled via a conveying hose with a blow-out lance at the free end, wherein a control device for controlling the filling process is provided. In order to be able to ensure that the filling process is terminated on time, an electro-optical distance-measuring device which is connected to the control device is arranged with a light guide for measuring the filling level of the bulk material in the container during the filling process, and a suction-removal nozzle is arranged coaxially around the blow-out lance at the blow-out lance, wherein the free end of the light guide of the electro-optical distance measuring device is arranged at the region of the blow-out lance on the suction-removal nozzle.

Methods and systems for continuously bagging pellets formed from a tacky and/or polymer containing formulation include improved drying systems and techniques. The methods and systems may include directing a flow of air to help contain moisture within a dryer, transport pellets out of the dryer, and/or dry pellets as they move away from the dryer. The methods and systems may include conditioning (e.g., drying, coating, classifying) the pellets using a conditioning unit prior to bagging the pellets.
