Ruike Continuous Pyrolysis Machine Key Specs
- 24/7 Non-Stop Running:
Unlike Batch plants that need to cool down every day, our Continuous Plant feeds raw material and discharges carbon black simultaneously at high temperatures. No downtime means higher daily output.
- Massive Capacity:
A single line can process 30 to 50 tons of waste per day. Perfect for government projects or large industrial parks.
- Minimal Labor Cost:
Thanks to the PLC/DCS Control System, the entire line requires only 1-2 operators to monitor the screens. This is a huge cost-saver in regions with high labor wages (e.g., Europe, USA).
- Higher Oil Yield & Quality:
Continuous reaction temperature prevents fluctuation, ensuring the oil yield is 3-5% higher than batch plants and the quality is more stable.
Fully Automated Process: Safety & Efficiency
Working Process :
1. Pre-treatment (Mandatory):
Waste tires must be shredded into rubber powder (5-15mm) or plastics crushed into flakes.
2. Continuous Feeding:
The sealed screw conveyor pushes material into the reactor continuously.
4. Continuous Discharging:
Carbon black is discharged automatically from the bottom while the machine is running, passing through a cooling jacket.
5. Gas Cleaning & Condensing:
Oil gas goes through the condensing system; Tail gas is recycled for heating; Smoke is purified.
6. PLC Monitoring:
All steps are monitored and controlled via the central control room.

Technological Breakthroughs by Ruike
Continuous technology is difficult. Here is how we solved the challenges.
- Unique Sealing Technology (The Key):
We use a proprietary Multi-Stage Dynamic Sealing System combined with graphite packing. It ensures zero gas leakage even during 24/7 rotation and thermal expansion.
- Anti-Coking Design:
We use a special Internal Scraper System inside the reactor to prevent plastic/rubber from sticking to the wall (coking), ensuring long-term stable operation without blockage.
- Internal Screw Conveyor:
Customized internal welding plates move the material forward automatically, ensuring even heating and complete pyrolysis.
- PLC/DCS Integration:
Partnering with Siemens/Schneider, we provide top-tier electronic control systems for real-time monitoring of pressure, temperature, and flow rates.
Environmental & Energy Efficiency
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
Closed-Loop Operation:
The entire system from feeding to discharging is fully enclosed. No dust, no smell, no leakage.
Self-Sufficient Energy:
The Syn-gas (Tail gas) generated is enough to heat the system. Once the process stabilizes, you need zero external fuel, maximizing your profit margin.
European Standard Emission:
Equipped with our advanced Desulfurization and Dedusting tower, emissions meet the strictest global environmental standards.

Heavy components are reinforced with steel cables on Flat Racks to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
Frequently Asked Questions about Continuous Pyrolysis Machines
Q1: Coking (blockage) is the biggest failure in continuous plants. How do you prevent it?
Ruike uses a proprietary Internal Scraper & Cleaning System. Specially designed scrapers rotate to constantly peel off any sticky rubber/plastic from the inner wall. Combined with precise temperature control, we guarantee zero coking.
Q2: How do you seal the reactor while it rotates 24/7?
We utilize a Multi-Stage Dynamic Sealing Technology with flexible graphite rings and a nitrogen (N2) buffer system. This structure accommodates thermal expansion and ensures 100% gas-tightness.
Q3: Can it run for a whole year without stopping?
No machine runs forever. Based on operational data, we recommend a “25+2” cycle: Run continuously for 25-28 days, then stop for 2-3 days for routine inspection. This ensures the plant lasts for 8-10 years.
Q4: What happens if there is a power cut?
The system has Fail-Safe Logic. The PLC shuts down fuel valves, and the optional Emergency Diesel Generator keeps the reactor rotating to prevent deformation.
Q5: Can I feed whole tires?
No. You must shred tires into rubber powder (5-15mm). This is mandatory for the sealed screw feeder.
Q6: How many workers are required?
Only 2 workers per shift (Control room + Patrol), thanks to PLC automation.
Q7: Coking (blockage) is the biggest failure in continuous plants. How do you prevent it?
Excellent question. Ruike uses a proprietary Internal Scraper & Cleaning System. Inside the reactor, specially designed scrapers rotate to constantly peel off any sticky rubber/plastic from the inner wall. Combined with our precise temperature control (avoiding overheating spots), we guarantee zero coking for long-term operation.
Q8: How do you seal the reactor while it rotates 24/7?
We don’t use simple packing. We utilize a Multi-Stage Dynamic Sealing Technology combining flexible graphite rings and a nitrogen (N2) buffer system. This structure accommodates the thermal expansion of the reactor and ensures 100% gas-tightness even after months of continuous running.
Q9: What is the realistic maintenance cycle? Can it run for a whole year?
No machine runs forever without maintenance. Based on our operational data, we recommend a “25+2” cycle: Run continuously for 25-28 days, then stop for 2-3 days for routine inspection (cleaning pipes, checking pumps). This scheduled maintenance ensures the plant lasts for 8-10 years, rather than breaking down unexpectedly.
Q10: Does the continuous plant have a higher oil yield than the batch plant?
Yes, typically 3%-5% higher.
Reason: In a continuous process, the temperature is kept constant and stable. This prevents the “temperature fluctuation” found in batch processing (heating up and cooling down), which often cracks oil gas into non-condensable gas. Stable temperature means more gas condenses into liquid oil.
Q11: What happens if there is an emergency (e.g., power cut)?
The system is designed with Fail-Safe Logic.
1. The PLC will automatically shut down fuel valves.
2. The Emergency Diesel Generator (optional) will kick in to keep the reactor rotating (to prevent deformation from uneven heat).
3. Safety valves will release pressure if needed. Your asset is protected even during blackouts.
