The second value added technology is cryogenic Fine Mesh which uses plus 30 mesh/600 micron rubber crumb from either an integrated RTI Primary system or it can be integrated and added on to an ambient system. It is essential that the crumb rubber produced in the ambient system is free of steel and fibre.
A Fine Mesh cryogenic system uses the same concepts and technology as a Primary cryogenic system but does not have a shredder and granulator because it is processing only the clean crumb rubber produced in a primary system which, if it is from a cryo system is already 99.9% steel & fibre free.
The Fine Mesh system processes the rubber crumb input through a freezing chamber and one size reduction unit. If there is a requirement for a larger quantity of throughput, two systems would be used.
The input capacity to this system is 6,000 lbs. (2,725 kgs) per hour. If processing cryo crumb rubber as the input then the output would also be 6,000 lbs. per hour.
All components of the Fine Mesh solution are manufactured by third party contractors according to RTI drawings and specifications. RTI receives, ships, assembles and installs these components at the customer’s facility and then trains managers and operators and commissions the system to provide a complete turnkey solution.
The average 60 mesh/250 micron output of the Fine Mesh is sent to a storage unit and then fed to a XyComTM TPE system where the material is fed directly to the integrated XyComTM TPE Blending Plant. This plant requires three XyComTM TPE Blending Lines to utilize the capacity of the Fine Mesh.
