Objectif The aim of this project is to set up a mechanical granulation system allowing to produce rubber granulate from scrap tyres with considerable advantage either from an ecological and from an energy point of view. The result will be to favour the market acceptance of a recycled material deriving from scrap tyres, thus avoiding its disposal in landfill or by burning.This is an action aimed to demonstrate an innovative process for granulating the tyre casings. The technological innovations of the project concern essentially the following points: GRANULATOR'S MILL: introduces a new concept in the mechanical granulation technique (milling and simultaneous separation of textile fibres, steel and rubber. MATERIAL RE-PROCESSING : in a middle step of the process the rubber granulate is screened. Those granules which are not accepted by the screens are re-processed allowing to obtain the same quality of that of a cryogenic process at absolutely lower costs. SYSTEM COMPACTNESS: the CISAP granulator introduces the new concept of compact machine, replacing the line configuration without evident advantages in plant costs and management. The granulator supplies a high quality product. The granulate as recycled material coming from this process is used in the composition of tartan for the flooring of sport fields, industrial flooring, shoe solings, watering pipes, compounds for solid tyres, etc. Another experimented application is in the asphalt compounds (already used in the USA and other Countries). ECOLOGICAL AND ENERGY BENEFITS: this project allows to reduce the environmental impact by more than 60% if compared with thermodestruction and a saving of energy of over 70% if compared with the cryogenic process.
