Choosing the right pyrolysis machine is not simply about capacity or price. The type and quality of your raw materials directly affect oil yield, operating efficiency, and project profitability. Before investing in a pyrolysis plant, evaluating your feedstock is the key to selecting the right solution.
Match the Pyrolysis Machine to Your Feedstock
Different materials require different processing methods before entering a pyrolysis plant. Waste tires are processed into pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire, and combustible gas. Waste plastics usually require sorting and crushing before pyrolysis, while oil sludge often needs pretreatment to improve recovery efficiency.
Selecting a pyrolysis machine designed for your specific feedstock helps improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance, and ensure stable operation.

Evaluate Your Raw Material Properties
The quality of raw materials is just as important as the material type. Before selecting equipment, key properties should be analyzed, including calorific value, ash content, moisture, and sulfur content.
These factors determine the reactor configuration, residue discharge system, drying requirements, and flue gas treatment system. Proper equipment matching reduces energy consumption, improves operational stability, and helps meet environmental standards.
Verify Oil Yield Before Investing
Professional raw material testing provides a reliable basis for equipment selection and profitability analysis. Typical oil yields are: waste tires: 35–45%; waste plastics: 50–80%; oil sludge: 20–40%. Testing representative samples allows you to estimate production capacity, operating costs, and expected returns more accurately, reducing investment risks.
