First off, let's briefly talk about what an EPDM devulcanizer does. EPDM, or ethylene - propylene - diene monomer, is a popular synthetic rubber known for its great weather resistance, electrical insulation properties, and flexibility. The devulcanization process involves breaking the sulfur cross - links in the rubber, which in turn makes the rubber reusable. This not only helps in reducing waste but also cuts down on the cost of producing new rubber products.
Now, onto the main question: Can it be used with other equipment? The short answer is a resounding yes! In fact, using an EPDM devulcanizer in conjunction with other rubber - processing equipment can lead to a more efficient and comprehensive rubber recycling and processing system.
Production Process of Reclaimed Butyl Rubber
Raw material: waste butyl inner tubes & butyl rubber scraps (feed size: ＜15 mm)
- Shredding & Sorting Waste butyl rubber is shredded, with steel wire, fiber and impurities removed to obtain butyl rubber granules below 15 mm.
- Desulfurization & Plasticization (core process, by MSD butyl rubber devulcanizer) Rubber granules are fed into the butyl devulcanizer. Under high temperature and shearing force, the vulcanized cross‑linking structure is broken to get plasticized butyl rubber compound.
- RefiningThe plasticized rubber goes through refiner for repeated rolling to improve plasticity and uniformity.
- Filtering & ExtrusionFilter extruder removes residual impurities and extrudes rubber strips.
- Cooling & CuttingRubber strips are cooled and cut into blocks, finished reclaimed butyl rubber is obtained.
Whole‑process summary:Waste butyl raw material → Shredding & impurity removal → Desulfurization & plasticization → Refining → Filtering & extrusion → Cooling & cutting → Finished reclaimed butyl rubber
