Our production process

Since 1947, we have continuously optimised our rubber recycling and processing production process to turn (unsuitable) rubber waste into a usable semi-finished product. With our sophisticated production process, we convert as much as 99.99% of waste. Minimal loss, maximum profit.

Rubberbuffings

1
Mix
We mix rubber buffers, sourced from different suppliers and in different sizes. This is how we create an optimal production mix for our manufacturing process.
2
Metal separation
We remove metal particles from rubber waste.
3
Sieving
We sieve the rubber scraps in huge tumbling sieves to sort them by size.
4
Cleaning
We separate stones up to 1 mm from the rubber and remove sand and other pollution from the rubber waste.
5
Grinding
We may grind the coarse fraction into a smaller size.
6
Packaging
We pack the buffings in small PE / EVA bags, big bags or as bulk, ready for distribution.

Rubber powdersand granulates

1
Shredding
We shred the rubber material into shreds of a few centimeters.
2
Metal separation
We remove metal particles from rubber waste.
3
Grinding
Using a granulator, we further reduce the rubber material into smaller granules.
4
Freeze
We cryogenically freeze the rubber granules with liquid nitrogen (-196ºC) in a cooling screw, making the rubber hard and brittle.
5
Pulverize
We pulverize the frozen rubber granules in a pin mill into powder with dimensions of up to 800 microns.
6
Sieving (optional)
We sieve the rubber powder or rubber granulate in the requested sizing.
7
Packaging
We package the powders or granules in PE/EVA bags, big bags or as bulk, ready for distribution.

Rubber raw materials and semi-finished products

We process the recycled rubber into a wide range of rubber raw materials and semi-finished products. We also offer toll grinding, where we grind pure waste into rubber powder and return it as a raw material to make a new end product, such as new rubber compounds, sports and play floors, sound insulation systems and garden mulch. Cheaper than new rubber and better for the environment.

  • Rubber Buffings
  • Rubber Powders
  • Rubber Granulates
  • Rubber Compounds
  • Inner Tubes

End products and customized rubber products

We also process the recycled rubber into new end products. For example, we sort by hand a stream of inner tubes, in order to press them into rubber straps and pallet bands.

  • Rubber Pallet Straps
  • Rubber Straps
  • Textile Straps
  • Anti-slip mats
  • Pallet ropes
  • Cellular Rubber Tape

Tailor-made

Rubber is a rewarding material because of its unique properties, such as flexibility, insulation, shock absorption and heat and water resistance.
