20100076245 | Pyromatic resource recovery system - A pyromatic system is used as a recovery system and is constructed to make the porylysis of used tires and other materials economically viable. The heart of the pyromatic system is a special stainless steel alloy reaction chamber which is mounted in a furnace box. The stainless steel alloy is known as Inconel. The reaction chamber is constructed of three tubular sections having flanges thereon. The flanges are finished to such close tolerances that no gasket are needed when the flanges are bolted together. The gaskets could not withstand the heat generated in the furnace box. Only the centrally located tubular sections is located in the furnace box. There is an auger rotating within the tubular reaction chamber to transport the shredded material there through while undergoing a pyrolisis. The auger is of the discontinuous type by heaving a multiple of cleats located in a helical pattern around a central shaft. This type of auger avoids a bunching of material while in transport and thereby eliminates hot spots in the tubular reaction chamber while maintaining an evenly distributed high temperature throughout its operation. | 03-25-2010 |
