Rubber waste disposal apparatus and method of treating rubber

摘要

A rubber waste disposal apparatus processing rubber waste such as an old tire efficiently includes a casing (1), a rubber waste deformation unit provided in the casing (1) to subject rubber waste (6) to deformation, and an ozone-containing gas supply unit supplying ozone-containing gas into the casing (1). The rubber waste deformation unit includes a pair of cylindrical rollers (2, 2) having a plurality of protrusions (2a) projecting outwards, capable of sandwiching rubber waste (6) at the gap therebetween, and a distance setting unit (3) that can set the distance (L) of the gap between the cylindrical rollers (2, 2).
