Process for recycling rubber

摘要

A process for manufacturing an article using a predetermined amount of crumb rubber comprising the steps of selecting an article to be manufactured, determining a maximum amount of recycled rubber which can be used in manufacturing the article selected. A particle size for recycled rubber to be used is determined and a binder for binding the recycled rubber is selected. The amount of binder required to be added is determined. Curing agents to be used in the process are selected and their weight determined. The components are mixed in a mixer and heated to a predetermined temperature. The mixture is removed and a mold is filled with the mixture. The mixture is then molded at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure being at least sufficient to cure the mixture so as to form the article previously selected and then the molded product is removed from the mold.
