Small pyrolysis machine uses batch operation to achieve pyrolysis of plastic, oil sludge, tyre and other solid wastes. Batch means each operation goes through feeding, heating, reaction, cooling, discharging to complete a complete production cycle. Then the next batch operation starts again. Such a equipment produces valuable resources, including pyrolysis oil, carbon black, syngas, etc. The equipment is flexible in operation and has a variety of configurations. Therefore, small pyrolysis plant has become a sustainable investment option for many recyclers.

Operation Steps of small Scale Pyrolysis Unit
The operation of a small pyrolysis machine mainly includes the steps of feeding, pyrolysis reaction, finished product collection and waste gas treatment. Each process is followed by the next process. The following is the specific operation process of each process. In order to understand the operation process more intuitively, the following is an example of the operation video of a plastic to fuel machine.
01 Raw Material Feeding
02 Main Furnace Preheating
03 ⭐Pyrolysis Reaction
The raw materials in the small scale pyrolysis equipment undergo thermal decomposition. The molecular bonds of the high molecular hydrocarbons in the raw materials are broken to form small molecular hydrocarbons. At this time, high-temperature oil gas is formed and goes through the following stages:
- Oil Gas Condensation: Under the action of the condensation system, the condensable components in the high-temperature oil gas form liquid fuel oil.
- Syngas Recovery: The non-condensable components in the high-temperature oil gas enter the water seal. It undergoes purification to form syngas. Syngas enters the combustion system to replace the original fuel to provide energy for the pyrolysis reaction.
- Waste Gas Treatment: The waste gas passes through the flue condenser and spray tower for cooling and dust removal. Finally, the chimney discharges it.

05 Solid Residue Discharge
