A Ray of Yellow in a Black Sky- PYRUM & VEGA partner for Sustainable Tyre Recycling
( Virtual Showroom ) PYRUM Innovations is based in Saarland, Germany and has set the tyre recycling process ablaze with its innovative approach to repurposing old tyres into valuable raw materials like oil, carbon black, and gas. VEGA instruments, on the other hand, are known for exceptional precision and ease of use. Their sturdy construction ensures minimal downtime and operational interruptions, allowing these sensors to excel in a wide range of industrial settings, and their simple installation and configuration procedures make them highly sought after by operators across various industries.
Across the globe, tyre disposal remains a major challenge, and in Europe, there is a need to dispose of over three million tonnes of tyres annually. PYRUM offers a unique solution by pyrolysing shredded tyres in an oxygen-free environment, where valuable materials like coke, gas, and oil are produced. Their second pyrolysis reactor, recently commissioned, can process 5,000 tonnes of rubber granulate per year—roughly equivalent to 7,500 tonnes of tyres.
VEGA plays an indispensable role in PYRUM’s processes. The installed sensors provide precise measurements of pressure and level throughout the process, especially in the reactor where the core action takes place. VEGABAR 83 pressure transmitters monitor gas pressure, while VEGAFLEX 86 guided radar sensors and VEGASWING 61 limit switches ensure stable operation in the harsh environment. VEGA sensors guarantee product quality and protect equipment from damage. The instruments provide precise measurements and straightforward design, and their sturdy build translates to minimised downtime and operational disruptions as they can be serviced by non-specialised staff. As PYRUM expands its global operations, the importance of precise measurement and ease of use becomes even more critical.
VEGA's cutting-edge sensors play a vital role in PYRUM's remarkable achievements, enabling the precision and dependability needed to fulfil the rigorous requirements of extensive tyre recycling processes. Through delivering precise measurements and streamlining operational effectiveness, VEGA significantly contributes to advancing environmental sustainability and fostering a more resilient circular economy.
