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 Pyrolysis Machine
The operation of a small scale pyrolysis unit 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 oil machine.
Raw Material Feeding
01
Main Furnace Preheating
02
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.

Utilization Value of End Products from Small Scale Pyrolysis Unit
Pyrolysis Oil
- Raw pyrolysis oil serves as an alternative fuel to traditional petrochemical energy for boilers, kilns.
- Distilling pyrolysis oil produces non-standard diesel, suitable for heavy oil generator sets and heavy oil engines.
- Distilling plastic pyrolysis oil produces recycled naphtha, which supports processing of plastics or chemical products.
Carbon Black
- Raw carbon black serves as a filler in building materials, improving the strength and durability of the materials.
- Raw carbon black acts as a black pigment in paints, coatings, and inks, offering high tinting power.
- Refining carbon black produces recycled carbon black (rCB), suitable for processing green tires and rubber products.
Other By-products
- Solid residue from oil sludge small pyrolysis machine serves as an anti-collapse agent for oil wells, improving their stability.
- Using harmless industrial residues to make bricks and building fillers can enhance the strength of materials.
- Recycled steel wire can be processed into steel products or sold directly to metal recycling companies.

Advantages of Beston Small Pyrolysis Unit for Sale
Catalytic Plastic Pyrolysis Technology
The equipment adopts meteorological catalytic plastic pyrolysis technology. This technology can solve the technical problem of wax oil clogging the pipeline. This will help ensure the continuous and stable operation of plastic to fuel machine. At the same time, the yield of pyrolysis oil is also improved.
Nitrogen Protection System
The small pyrolysis machine is introduced with nitrogen for gas replacement before ignition and discharge. The nitrogen system can effectively remove the residual air and combustible gas in the reactor. Thus, this prevents the main furnace from flashing. This ensures smooth operation and operator safety.
Floating Seal Technology
This sealing technology uses a sealing that combines carbon fiber with high-temperature resistant soft filler. Compared with other filler sealing technology, this sealing form has high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Therefore, this ensure dynamic sealing in operation.
