Zhonghong Environment Tech. to promote green reclaimed rubber equipment

Waste Tires Green Recycling Symposium 2017 was held in Haimen, Jiangsu province.

Huang Xianghong, vice general manager of Jiangsu Zhonghong Environment Technology Co. Ltd., accepted an interview by Tireworld.com.cn.

Reclaimed rubber even greener

Tireworld: What are the advantages of producing reclaimed rubber with atmospheric pressure continuous desulfurization equipment?

Huang: The atmospheric pressure continuous screw extrusion desulfurization equipment of Zhonghong Environment Technology makes the process of reclaimed rubber production cleaner and automatic, which ensures higher profitability.

Such production line saves 50% labor cost, 25% energy consumption, and one third production area.

Tireworld: Besides environmentally friendly and intelligent, how does the quality improve?

Huang: Atmospheric pressure continuous desulfurization equipment improves the quality stability and mooney rebound controllability a lot.

Moreover, by using our own techniques and formula, the quality of reclaimed rubber is higher than national standard.

May become pervasive within 3 yrs

Tireworld: How long will it take for green reclaimed rubber production equipment to be pervasive?

Huang: Currently, the government has launched stricter supervision over environmental protection measures taken by producers, the concept of clean production by manufacturers becomes increasingly popular, and employees are inclining to work in better environment. All these are good for wide application of green equipment.

With the guidance of national industrial policy and the request by enterprises themselves for transition and upgrade, it is very likely for the waste rubber recycling sector to apply atmospheric pressure continuous desulfurization equipment in the coming three years.

Tireworld: Is it a necessary tendency?

Huang: It has been 30 years since China’s waste rubber recycling sector introduced in dynamic desulfurization tanks in 1980’s, the technique hasn’t go through significant technical or equipment upgrade or improvement.

As labor cost increasing and higher demand for production environment, old outdated equipment must experience technical reform.

The key reason is that the government policy requests to eliminate outdated techniques and capacity.

This is the only way for regular waste rubber recycling enterprises to improve their techniques at greater expenses.

These are the foundation for the promotion and pervasion of atmospheric pressure continuous desulfurization equipment.
