The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pellet, comprising a) providing residual rubber powder from a rubber disintegration process; b) providing a pelletizing system, including a pelletizer and a cooling device; c) feeding the residual rubber powder as at least part of a feed material, into a pelletizer; d) providing the rubber powder in an amount between 50% and 100%; e) applying a pressure to the residual rubber for a predetermined process duration; f) releasing the pelletized rubber and cooling the pelletized rubber at a cooling rate dependent on the operational temperature of the pelletizer.

The invention relates to the recycling of used rubber products, more specifically to the recycling of Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) from cars and trucks. Provided is a method for reclaiming rubber, comprising the steps of (i) providing a starting material comprising a vulcanized rubber polymer; (ii) subjecting the starting material to mechanical stress and at a temperature of at least 200? C. to achieve at least a partial destruction of the cross-links and the backbone structure of the rubber polymer into fragments; and (iii) reconstituting at least part of the fragments in the presence of a branching/grafting agent to obtain a renewed rubber composition.

The present disclosure provides for articles formed of a filled polymeric resin material. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to polymeric resin materials that include a filler that includes of a mixture of cured rubber granules, foam granules, and/or textile fibers. The filler can be suspended in and/or encapsulated by the polymeric resin material. The polymeric resin material, the filler, or both can include waste or scrap material from manufacturing or from ground post-consumer waste.

The invention relates to a method for preparing waste powder from generative production processes, by means of which three-dimensional objects are produced in layers from a powdery base material. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for the combined mechanical and material preparation of waste powder, wherein the waste powder is brought into such a structure that subsequently, by mixing with or even without new powder or mixtures of new and waste powders, a high-quality powdery material becomes available for generative production processes. This aim is achieved in that the waste powder is subjected to a mechanical treatment by reducing the waste powder to small pieces with a grinding mill.

A water jet splitting chamber for waste tires has a chamber body, a water jet module, and an actuator. The chamber body has a retaining wall located in the chamber body to divide the chamber body into a splitting space and an actuator space. The water jet module is mounted in the splitting space, and has a slide seat mounted on the chamber body and at least one water jet seat mounted on the slide seat and being capable of linearly moving along a mounting direction of the slide seat. The actuator is mounted in the actuator space, and has a motor and multiple linking rods. The multiple linking rods are driven by the motor and extend into the splitting space, extending directions of the multiple linking rods are along the mounting direction of the slide seat, and the water jet heads face toward the multiple linking rods.

Methods of producing particles of fiber and resin from fiber-resin composite materials are disclosed. The particles may be combined with a resin system and optionally combined with fillers, binders or reinforcements to produce new cured solid composite products.

The present disclosure relates to a nontoxic poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) (PECA) plastic. The PECA-based plastic is sourced from non-petroleum feedstocks and can be thermally and/or mechanically converted back to the ethyl cyanoacrylate monomer in a closed-loop recycling system with high monomer recovery. The disclosure also provides for methods of making the PECA plastics and methods of recycling the PECA plastics.

Machine for recycling tyres by recovering the tyre tread rubber using waterjets. The machine comprises a loading unit for loading a tread, a processing unit, the processing unit comprising a framework comprising a preprocessing zone, a processing zone and a postprocessing design. The preprocessing zone drives a cut tread towards the processing zone. The processing zone comprises a processing module designed to direct a waterjet onto the recovered tread. The preprocessing zone comprises motorized guide rollers and presence sensors arranged in such a way as to allow a second tread to catch up with a first tread in such a way as to reduce, to the point of closing up, the space between two treads.

A method of plastic reclamation for a plastic and natural fiber mixture, comprising, forming a mixture off first plastic component, a second plastic component, a third fiber component and a fourth additive component, the first plastic component comprising polyethylene and polypropylene, the second plastic component comprising polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, acrylic, nylon, polycarbonate and bioplastic, wherein the first plastic component: comprises a larger weight percentage than the second plastic component and a sum of the first plastic component and the second plastic component is 10% to 95% of a total weight, the third fiber component comprising wood, paper and natural fiber, wherein its the third fiber component is 0% to 85% of the total weight and the fourth additive component comprising at least calcium carbonate and stabilizer, wherein the fourth additive component is 5% to 45% of the total weight, agglomerating the mixture, milling the mixture and granulating the mixture,

Methods of producing particles of fiber and resin from fiber-resin composite materials are disclosed. The particles may be combined with a resin system and optionally combined with fillers, binders or reinforcements to produce new cured solid composite products.
