Andreas Steinlage, Senior Business Development Manager at Netzsch, joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast for Episode 90. Andreas sits down with Ewan Scott to discuss the critical role of post-processing technology in the tyre pyrolysis sector. With over 150 years of heritage, Netzsch provides essential milling and drying solutions that transform coarse pyrolytic char into high-quality, consistent recovered Carbon Black (rCB).
Andreas explores the technical specifications of their fluidised bed jet mills, such as the CGS 180 and CGS 100, which are designed to achieve a fineness of d97 10 micron. He also details the energy-saving benefits of the e-jet process, which can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%. Furthermore, the episode delves into the importance of unique selling points like their high-performance classifier wheels, the development of SmartSteam technology for sub-micron cut points, and the company’s significant investment in a new corporate campus and technology centre.
