摘要

A method of and an apparatus for processing waste such as waste rubber and plastics and especially old tyres is disclosed. The waste is coarsely comminuted, thermally decomposed in a single fluidised bed with the application of a fluidising medium comprising oxygen, and any metal components of the waste are continually drawn off from the fluidised bed. An apparatus for processing the waste comprises a charging chamber (6), a feeder wheel (12) rotatably drivable about a substantially horizontal axis for forcing comminuted waste into a fluidised bed reactor (14). Extractor means comprising a belt (21) and magnetic separating device (22) is provided to remove metal residues and pass them to a scrap container (24).
