Tyre pyrolysis plant manufacturer Fabhind is expanding by setting-up second plant in the Mehsana district of Gujarat
“The Mehsana site started operating about six months ago, and is regarded as the state-of-the-art plant, producing a range of tyre pyrolysis plants such as an Advanced Batch Plant (ABAP), Continuous plant and RCB plant with the latest available technology including CNC machines and automatic welding machines for enhanced quality and accuracy,” informed Ritesh Prajapati, CEO, Fabhind Pvt Ltd at the Jaipur (Rajasthan) tyre recycling conclave organised by the Tyre & Rubber Recyclers Association of India (TRRAI). The Ahmedabad plant is also engaged in the production of shredders, pyrolysis and RCB lines.
The company is engaged in the production, supply and installation of waste recycling lines along with accessories and asphalt road equipment, opened a second site in Mehsana district (around 75, Km from Ahmedabad) spreading over an area of 200,000 sq ft.
Focus is on continuous tyre recycling plants
Fabhind produces a range of waste tyre recycling plants, but the focus is now on producing continuous tyre recycling plants, semi-continuous tyre recycling plants and upgraded ABAP tyre pyrolysis plants in the new Mehsana site.
Low on automation and labour-intensive, the batch type plant needs to be stopped after every single process, taking 16-20 hrs a day, while the continuous type of plant is operated continuously without any interruption for larger feedstock flow. A batch type plant processes a maximum of 12 tons of material per day while continuous type plant processes up to 100 tons per day.
The continuous waste tyre recycling plant has features such as auto feeding system, auto discharge system, multiple point monitoring of temperature and pressure, central electric control system, hot air circulation heating system, secondary fire-retardant damper and use of advance techniques with high quality of material for getting a higher yield of products.
An ISO 9001:2015 certified company has also introduced a unique feature for the panel of this plant called PLC based SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) to access the working of the plant remotely via mobile.
Currently, both plants have a cumulative capacity to produce to 200 machines with applications in tyre recycling and road construction.
Commenting on the evolving tyre recycling market, “India’s tyre and recycling market is still at the nascent stage but expected to make major strides in the next five-years on the back of EPR regulation introduced by the government. Our expansion is also in line with emerging opportunities in the near future,” said Prajapati.
