Pyrum Innovations successfully completed the mechanical assembly of the new grinding plant at the site in Dillingen. With an input material of 1,650 kg/h and an output material of 1,350 kg/h, the jet mill developed by Hosokawa is the world’s largest grinding plant for rCB. The difference between the input and output material is fed back to the beginning after each cycle and added to the process again, thus avoiding a loss of rCB. The expansion of the grinding capacity is expected to significantly increase the sales of rCB in the future.
After we commissioned the two new reactors (TAD 2 & 3) last year as part of the site expansion, the installation of a new grinding and pelletising plant became necessary to be able to process the Carbon Black produced in the new reactors. After the completion of the mechanical installation, work has already started on the cabling that will supply the plant with power in the future.
The grinding plant is scheduled to start operations in April 2025.
Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “With the successful completion of the assembly of the world’s largest grinding plant for rCB here in Dillingen, we can significantly expand our production capacities. The expansion will enable us to substantially increase sales of our rCB and thus take a further step towards a sustainable and future-oriented circular economy.”
Due to the technical interdependency between the grinding and pelleting plants, production is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2025. The remaining components of the pelletising plant are already on their way and will arrive in the next few weeks, so that the assembly of the pelletiser can begin soon.
