Ajax Equipment, Bolton, UK, is supplying hydrocarbon reclamation firm Recycling Technologies with handling equipment for the company’s waste-to-resource pyrolysis system. Ajax will provide a combined screw feeder and elevator, an agitated screw feeder featuring plug screw and a hopper. Recycling Technologies’ process uses a fluidised bed pyrolysis system to breakdown mixed plastic waste to produce heavy fuel oil that can be resold into the hydrocarbons market.  

 

Waste material held in the Ajax hopper is transferred into the pyrolysis chamber using a plug screw feeder. A plug is required as the pyrolysis process creates gases that react with oxygen to form unwanted by-products. The stainless steel screw elevator recycles sand from the fluidised bed back into the pyrolysis process. www.ajax.co.uk
