Recycling plant design
We size and design recycling and waste recovery plants: process sizing, line layout, building, services and waste management authorisations.
Engineering that makes recycling profitable
A recycling plant works if the process is properly sized for the actual waste it will receive, if there is a market for its output and if the facility is authorised and safe. A mistake in any of these three areas is paid for throughout the plant's entire life.
We carry out the sizing and design of recycling plants for end-of-life tyres, agricultural plastics, plant residues and other industrial waste, from the capacity study to commissioning.
Project under study · Innovatire
Innovatire: an innovative tyre recycling plant
Innovatire is a project for a plant that recycles and recovers end-of-life tyres (ELT) through pyrolysis; Agropharm carries out the process calculations and the plant design. It has not been built yet, but it has already been featured in the press for its innovative approach.
It is a good example of how we work in the circular economy: turning a problem waste into marketable raw materials, with a plant sized with data and properly licensed from the start.
What the project includes
Process sizing
Waste characterisation, capacity, mass balance and yield of each fraction.Line and machinery
Shredding, granulation, separation, sorting and product storage.Building and services
Layout, civil works, electrical systems, dust extraction and fire protection.Authorisations
Environmental procedures, operating licence and waste manager authorisation.
Frequently asked questions
What authorisations does a recycling plant need?
In Spain, in addition to the municipal operating licence, a plant that treats waste needs a waste manager authorisation from the regional government and, depending on its capacity and type, may require an environmental impact assessment or environmental permit. We identify these in the initial study.
Where does a recycling plant project start?
With the waste and the market: how much material is available, at what quality, and who will buy each fraction produced. With that data we size the line and calculate the investment.
Considering a recycling plant?
We calculate the capacity, investment and permitting your project needs.
