Pyrolysis Reactor

Pyrolysis reactor is the key equipment for pyrolysis. Beston has different pyrolysis reactor designs to choose from, including skid-mounted design, rotary and fixed (horizontal) designs. They are commonly used to convert old tires, plastic, rubber, oil sludge into liquid oil. But the reactor design will influence the distribution of raw materials, product yield, etc. Each one differs from the others. Below are more features for your reference. Welcome to contact Beston for a custom proposal.

Beston Pyrolysis Reactor Design

Beston has 5 models of pyrolysis machines for sale, which employ skid-mounted (moveable base), rotary, and fixed (horizontal) pyrolysis reactors. The reactor is used to loading raw materials, which is heated to produce oil gas. Beston pyrolysis reactor material is mainly made of Q245R boiler steel, which is 16 mm in thickness, which makes the reactor durable to use. More than that, we adopt advanced technology, like automatic welding, ultrasonic flaw detection, to make sure its safety. Below are more details for your reference.

Fixed (Horizontal) Pyrolysis Reactor

Horizontal pyrolysis reactor is commonly used in the continuous plant. With a screw feeder, the raw material keeps moving forward and absorbs heat for pyrolysis, and then produces oil and gas. Also, it uses U-shaped tubes inside to speed up the pyrolysis process.

Features: 1. Continuous working, large capacity. 2. Indirect heating. U-shaped tube design inside to heat up the materials quickly. 3. Modular design makes it easy to transport, install and replace.

How to Choose A Suitable Pyrolysis Reactor?

As mentioned, the reactor will influence the distribution of raw materials and the working method. Below are the differences between rotary and fixed reactors.

Reactor Types	Rotary Reactor	Fixed Reactor
Feeding Method	Manually (whole tyres ) or Automatic (shredded tires)	Automatic (shredded tires)
Foundation	Required	No need
Working Method	Batch / Semi-continuous	Continuous
Feeding Capacity	1-15 ton/batch	20-24 ton
Heating Method	Direct heating	Indirect heating

Generally, the rotary reactor is commonly used in batch plants. The raw materials can be fed manually and then heat the reactor for pyrolysis. You can feed in the whole tyres or shredded tires. The latter one can improve the pyrolysis efficiency and the actual feeding capacity. Then it needs 8-10 hours to cool down for another batch. While the fixed one is continuous, which is often equipped with an automatic feeding system and discharging system. So you can discharge while feeding. But it requires that the raw materials are smaller than 20 mm in size and with less than 15% water content. It means you need more auxiliary equipment, which will increase your investment cost. Below is a pyrolysis machine video for your reference.

Beston Tips

Different pyrolysis reactor types have their features. What you need is to buy from reliable pyrolysis reactor manufacturers. Then choose a suitable one according to your own conditions. So before choosing a reactor, please ask yourself the questions below:

1. What raw materials will you process?
2. How many tons will you process per day?
3. How much will you spend on this project?
4. Is it expensive to hire a worker in your place?
5. How large the available space do you have?
6. Your local environmental protection policy.
