10 Reasons Why You Should Pelletize rCB


Why Pelletize rCB

Uncover the benefits and efficiencies of transforming rCB into pellets, enhancing sustainability and product quality in various industries. These aren't just any pellets but valuable commodities eagerly sought after by manufacturers in myriad applications.


Pin Mixers: Transforming rCB into High-Value Pellets


Old Tires to Premium Pellets

Production rates ranging from 0.15m3/hr to 40m3/hr

The Mars Mineral Pin Mixer is a pin-type solids processor customized to convert dust and powder into high-quality pellets with the addition of a binder, usually water. Our pelletizing technology can generate ASTM-grade pellets with high first-pass yields of 125 μm -1000 μm and hardness of 20 g - 50 g, which is the sweet spot for end-use feedstocks for the aerospace, appliance, automotive, coatings, electronics, industrial, marine, packaging, plastics, rubber, and tire manufacturing applications.


Create High-Value Feedstock for These Innovations

Continuous Innovation in Pelletization

The rCB market was valued at USD 124.32 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 743.37 million by 2029.
