Rubber crumb de-vulcanisation
GLP works with partners on processes to de-vulcanise rubber crumb by breaking sulphur bonds and returning rubber granulate to a reusable material stream.
The process uses rubber granulate of a specified size and quality. Material is delivered in big bags, checked, fed into the process and passed through a magnetic section to remove or detect ferrous contamination.
The process is thermo-mechanical. No chemicals are added to the rubber granulate; it uses temperature, pressure and mechanical manipulation of the rubber molecules.
Process stages
Controlled handling from feedstock to reusable rubber
Mechanical feeding
Approved material is fed from big bags into a hopper and mechanically transferred to the main process.
Metal checking
The feed passes through a magnetic section to check for ferrous contamination.
Reuse potential
The resulting de-vulcanised rubber can be used again as a rubber material stream.
