Semi-continuous and fully automatic pyrolysis equipment are improved versions of batch pyrolysis machine. They process raw materials such as waste rubber powder, plastic granules, or oily sludge. They use a sealed feed auger and a sealed slag discharge auger, eliminating the need for furnace cooling and enabling continuous high-temperature slag discharge. So, what are the differences between semi-continuous and fully automatic pyrolysis equipment?

By watching this video, you can see the differences between semi-continuous and fully automatic equipment in terms of operation methods, applicable scenarios, and efficiency.

Semi-continuous Pyrolysis Equipment: Material is continuously input. Its operation involves three separate steps: feeding, pyrolysis, and slag discharge. No furnace cooling is required before slag discharge; slag is discharged directly at high temperature. It can process three furnaces of raw material in two days.

Fully Automatic Pyrolysis Machine: Material is continuously input and output at a fixed rate. Its operation involves simultaneous feeding, pyrolysis, and slag discharge. No shutdown is required, and it can operate continuously for 45-60 days.

Semi-continuous Pyrolysis Equipment: Suitable for scenarios with limited raw material, limited initial investment, or a focus on short-term profits, such as medium-sized waste recycling plants with a daily processing capacity of 5-20 tons/unit.

Fully Automatic Pyrolysis Machine: Suitable for scenarios with stable supply, sufficient funds, and a need for long-term economic benefits, such as large-scale waste recycling plants with a daily processing capacity of 15-50 tons/unit or more.

Differences of semi-continuous and fully automtic pyrolysis plants

Semi-continuous Pyrolysis Equipment: Offers greater operational flexibility and lower investment, but its equipment utilization rate and efficiency are slightly lower than fully automatic equipment. 

Fully Automatic Pyrolysis Machine: Higher investment, but high operating efficiency, high equipment utilization, and lower energy input, suitable for large-scale continuous production.
